Water Trap

Water Trap is a machine used to catch fish without using a fishing rod.

The Fish Trap was renamed to Water Trap in version 1.10. Animal Baits and Machines such as traps do not currently exist in Harvestcraft 2.

Recipe
To make a Water Trap, put 4 sticks in the 4 corners of a chest, and a fishing rod top center. Put a chest in the center, and fill the remaining 3 blocks with string.

Usage
The Water Trap works similarly to the Apiary.

Place the crafted trap into a pool of at least 1 deep water touching a water block on each side (horizontally, just like the Ground Trap ) where at least one of these four water blocks is touching an additional water block on the opposite side, with the top exposed to air. Right-click on the trap and place the Fish Bait into the slot on the left side of the gui. Over time, both vanilla and Harvestcraft fish will accumulate in the trap in the slots on the right. Each piece of bait placed in the trap will yield one fish approximately every 2.5 minutes.

Note: You can tell that the trap is active when 1 bait is used as soon as you put the bait in the slot, inside a newly-placed trap. If the bait is not used, the trap is inactive. Traps do not retain the 'active' bait when broken so you can break and replace it to make sure that it is active.



Automation
Using hoppers, bait can inserted into the top of the trap and loot can be extracted from the bottom.
