General Discussion / Protecting Crops?
« on: May 12, 2020, 07:46:18 AM »
Normally, I have no trouble protecting my crops. Enclosing my fields with trap-fences usually suffices to both keep my crops safe and provide me with a semi-steady supply of meat.
Not this time. There's a pesky badger that keeps eating my broad beans. I haven't seen the badger, just its tracks. I'm honestly usps tracking showbox speed test not sure what to do about it; I have small deadfall traps set up and baited (with raw fish, which I know it'll eat). I just had to replant some of my broad beans (again) because the badger ignored the baited traps and crawled through the fence to eat my plants.
Two questions:
Is there any way to more reliably protect my crops, save for replacing every fence tile with traps?
Am I sabotaging myself with my trap pits? Can badgers or other small animals run over those? Or does it not matter, since replacing them with fences wouldn't keep the badgers out anyway?
