No you dont set off your own traps....only mobs set them off within a certain proximity.

Think each trap has 10 uses before its destroyed.....allthough you do have to reset the trap after it has gone off.

Its definetley needed because as the game goes on, the amount of warning time before the hounds strike becomes only a few seconds.....and they turn up in packs of 10+.....and they will destroy you in seconds if you arent prepared.

Thanks, good to know. Is there a certain time that the hounds start spawning (e.g. from day 10 or something)?

Haven't had a chance to play it much so haven't made it past 7 days I think
 
They randomly attack every 3-10 days.......you will hear them coming way before they attack you in the first instance....with a wierd barking sound and your character responding with "show yourself" or something like that.

Easiest way to deal with them initialy is to kite them to a Beefalo herd or a pig village and run around until the beefalo or pigs attack and kill them...as you are only attacked by 3 Black Hounds.

This becomes a bit more difficult later in the game when its mid winter and they attack in packs of 10 in the middle of the night....witha mixture of Black Hounds, Blue Hounds and Red hounds (in summer)

So do Beefalo......but you can wake them with the hounds if you keep running round the sleeping beefalo in circles......the Hounds eventually get bored of trying to catch you and attack the sleeping Beefalo......who then destroy them.

Living near a Beefalo herd is essentail......just make sure you dont kill too many for meat and fur......they need to breed to keep the herd numbers up.
 
Yeah my last good go at this I never found Beefalo so had to rely on Tall Birds when it was turning dark - my world wasnt the best so hoping the next one has better resources...

The first summer and organising yourself seems to make a massive difference - so much stuff I havent had a chance to make or even find the ingredients for...

Indeed....getting a rubbish map sucks......I spend the 1st 3-5 Days of a new game exploring the entire map to get a feel for whats avaiable....as a poor map will invariably just waste your time....

Just run around constantly and at night with a torch.....only stopping to get berries, carrots and eating.
 
Been playing this game solid for over a week now, so addictive. Hit day 184 on a previous playthrough with Willow but got swamped by spiders, hounds at night in winter... I had no chance :). Started again the other day with Wilson, I wanted his magnificent beard to help insulate me that little more at winter, cos winter is painful!

Making me want to play it! I have it on PC and PS4 though.. so even though I'd prefer it on PC where you can change more gameplay options.. I feel like I should actually use my PS4 as I haven't played it in ages (got a bit bored of AC4 and haven't really got into Killzone yet).

Around what number of days does Winter come?

Day 21 winter falls by default, set summer to long and it hits around day 30+.
