Medium Dino Trap
A 24-structure stone creature trap with two gates and a rear player exit, for controlled mid-game taming. The rear exit is the part homemade traps usually miss: it lets you leave on foot without opening the gate the target came through. Fully vanilla, and cheap enough to abandon after the tame. Official crafting costs are shown with visible recipe coverage.

Argentavis Trap
A six-structure Argentavis trap - the smallest build in this library - in stone, for fast setup and a safe exit while the target sleeps. Six pieces means you can carry the materials on a taming run and put it down wherever the Argy is, instead of luring it home. Fully vanilla, no DLC and no mods, so it works on any PC server.
2×2 Stone Taming Trap
A 16-structure 2x2 stone taming trap that goes up in one trip on stone-tier resources, sized for mid-game land tames. Small enough to build on the spot when you find a target rather than walking it back to a permanent pen, and cheap enough to leave behind afterwards. Fully vanilla - no DLC, no mods.
