    UPDATE: It seems that the pathfinding has been changed since I made this video. The trap still works but it's much harder to get it in. Best advice I can give is don't go too far ahead of the trap, keep the rex close to you.

    • @PhantasmalChaos
      @PhantasmalChaos Рік тому +6

      Can confirm this. Tried for about 20 minutes to get the Rex to go into the trap, but it just kept going around the trap instead. Tried different distances from the rex as well. Biting the feathers on my argies hind-end, and comfortably standing behind the trap waiting. Both ended with the rex going AROUND the trap.

      I tried this one for the second time last night and was having trouble leading it in with the argy flying slow and close to the ground and even hovering over the trap waiting for him and it kept going around. What did finally work was having the argy walking him in. I had the argy sitting between the two little walls and the rex was chomping on my butt a few seconds and when he bumped me through he followed and got himself stuck. Both times I've used this trap it's worked perfectly once the rex is in it. Just takes a little fiddling around to get them in, but with how cheap and simple it is to set up I think that's a reasonable price to pay.

    There were soooo many solutions, but you rejected them all because they weren't simple enough, or had moving parts, or used too many different types of structures.

    Not sure if they changed the AI again yesterday (reverting some of the post release change they made a few days ago), but I could not lead the rex in with an argy hovering on the ground and going just high enough to clear the front two pillars. The rex would consistently walk around. I was about to give up and just start shooting it on foot (after double checking the video to make sure I built it right) when the thing lost interest in me and wandered over one side of the trap and trapped itself. Couldn't get the rex to budge from any direction once it was in the trap so the trap works flawlessly if you can get them in. I guess my advice to anyone trying and struggling is to just stick with it and hang around the trap and eventually it will wander in. I built it on the beach and it was on a slope with the front of the trap higher than the back and that didn't seem to alter its effectiveness. Happy hunting!
