[2022] Did the nerf to Wooden Cages go into affect in the last few versions? Ardyn's can't seem to maintain animal population.

I'm playing with the Ardyns right now and have encountered a lot of issues trying to collect animals to feed from.

Any tips?

I grew the village to 6 Ardyns with about 10 Sheep and 5 little meerkat like creatures that I can't remember the name of right now. But from Fall and Winter the entire settlement essentially collapsed. They keep dying and I got to about 20. Now I'm at 12 with 3 humans, but I'm hoping to migrate to setup more traps to grab animals.

Btw, the way I've tried to capture animals:

• Setting up a wall of traps on the land borders of my territories about 4 layers deep.
• Micro managing my Shepards and other villagers to run away from hostile animals across the traps to eventually capture one.

I'm also not sure how traps work with various creatures, but it looks like Medium works for everything still so I've stuck with those I sprinkled a few small ones on the outer edges, but haven't noticed much of a difference.

My settlement looks very weird :(
