Trapping is a survivalist skill in Project Zomboid. It allows the player to use traps to catch animals, which can then be butchered and used as food.
Usage
The simplest trap a player can use is a mouse trap, which can be found in the world. The player can also use their trapping skill to create traps, if it's high enough and if they have learned the crafting recipes. Player-made traps include snare traps, stick traps and trap boxes. The trap needs to have bait added to it to be effective, which determines what type of animals you will catch, if they can be caught with said trap.
Baiting a trap removes -5 hunger from the chosen bait, so baiting a trap does not consume the entire food item. Only fresh or stale food can be used as bait. Traps can break or go off without trapping an animal inside, so check them often (every hour of in-game time). Traps are only effective in the wilderness, where there are no zombies or players around (traps will not catch anything with the player being within 75 tiles of them), and zombies are also attracted to traps with animals in them.
Creating a trap requires the player to have the necessary materials and/or tools in your main inventory to make it. You will also need to learn the recipe for the trap from a skill magazine in order to know how to craft them. Once these prerequisites have been met, you can select the crafting option by either right-clicking the materials in your inventory or opening the crafting interface. A trap's strength determines its chance of catching something and if it will break, so higher strength traps have a higher chance catching something and not breaking. Experience for trapping is increased when a player collects an animal from the trap, based on the hunger reduction of the animal (more=more XP) if something has been caught. Traps "tick" every in-game hour to check if something is caught/if bait is lost.
Current valid trap zones are farmland, trailer park, town, vegetation, forest, and deep forest. All traps are usable in every zone, but not all traps are effective at catching critters in certain areas, see specific type of animal for valid trap zones. Roads do not count as trapping zones.
Times when animals may get caught in a trap:
- Rabbit or squirrel: 1900 to 0500 (7:00 PM to 5:00 AM)
- Bird, mouse, or rat: any time

Tips
- Consider placing traps in town zones, such as the 1st floor roof of a school or the center of a warehouse, to keep roaming zombies from both eating the animal and destroying the trap.
