How to unlock the Trapper achievement

    Wasteland Workshop introduces a creature capturing mechanic through the use of cages. For this achievement you have to build every cage (excluding Gorilla if you don't have it available) in your settlements. As this adds up to 15 cages, I used Sanctuary Hills to build them all because it's both convenient and spacious.

    If you don't want to spend materials, save your game before you build them and reload the save after unlocking the achievement.

    In your chosen settlement, hold cn_back to bring up the build menu and scroll to the right for the CAGES category. Unlike most other structures, each cage requires different food/chem items or caps as "bait".

    NOTE:
    - Most of the resources & baits can be bought in Diamond City (thanks Becky070).
    - Save before building! If the achievement doesn't pop reload your save and build the cages in a different settlement (thanks XHALORIONX).
    - The cages must all be built on the same save, to be safe make sure you have all the resources and build them in one go (thanks Metroidkillah).

    Total resources for cages (excl. Gorilla cage):

    Steel: 170
    Copper: 38
    Gears: 24

    Brahmin meat: 7
    Mirelurk egg: 4

    Canned dog food: 3
    Carrot: 4
    Razor grain: 4
    Jet: 6

    Korean B B QOne tip you might want to add - DO NOT store your meat in any settler accessible workbench if you plan using it to make cages. Settlers will, over time, go into those workbenches and eat all your meat. Store you meat in a container or keep it in your on-person inventory to be safe.

    Thickly SettledGreat solution, thank you.

    Just a note that the cages do not need to be powered.

    Just a couple notes on what I discovered playing through this achievement.

    1. Not all of the cages are available to build in Far Harbor. Specifically, you cannot build the Gunner, Raider, Gorilla, or Dog cages in a Far Harbor Settlement.

    2. The Gorilla cage is only available if you destroyed the Institute AND evacuated the Institute in "The Nuclear Option". (Because the Synthetic Gorillas would have been released and evacuated into the Commonwealth). However, if you do not meet those conditions, the Gorilla cage is not needed for the achievement. I sided with the Institute and could not build the Gorilla cage, yet shortly after building my last other cage the achievement popped.

    Hope this info is helpful. Let me know if you can verify the Gorilla cage under different circumstances (Destroyed Institute but didn't evacuate, etc.)
