Snare traps are single-use or multiple-use objects can be built by survivors at the shelter to capture rabbits or deer to turn into meat rations. Better snare traps grant greater amounts of rations and have more uses.
Because they must be built on the surface, characters should wear hazmat suits before constructing them. Deconstructing a snare trap yields the same amount of resources regardless of how many times it has been used, so deconstructing a multi-use trap when it has one use left can help to conserve resources. A character with the resourceful trait can usually reclaim all of the resources put into it.
A freezer is required before being able to store food rations from captured animals.

"The most humane and efficient trap that can be built. This trap will provide the highest amount of rations from the snared animal."
Advanced snare traps require a level 3 work bench and can be crafted by combining 4 wood, 2 rope, and 4 springs. Advanced snare traps can be used 8 times before they break down, making them the most cost-efficient traps.
