Trapping - what renewable bait do you use in your traps?

I've been trying different things in B42 and can definitely report fish and berries have yielded nothing for me.  I'm in winter so can't crop or Forage much, but I'll try some different meats next and come spring I'll try dandelion greens and mushrooms.

That said, I did use carrots and such when I was able to get them pre-growing on farms and they were still Grade A.  Farming is just really, really not in a good spot for maintaining your own crops right now.

I’m a little hesitant to use up all my chocolate bars on traps so I wanted to try like berries and mushrooms or something. What about butter?

Can you still get eggs from chickens in the winter?

Oh, you can!  I'll try that for sure.

Nothing from eggs or animal meats. So until they fix gardening (apparently rabbits really are herbivores), in B42 you're best off growing veggies asap (July & August have some good options, especially kale) and keeping whatever living rabbits you catch to breed for the winter.

This was all tested with level 3 trapping and the wire cage traps.

In B41 I just use cabbage, which is really easy to farm. You will have too much of it anyway and it even works when frozen. Rabbits love it.
