Talk:Fish Trap/@comment-24064387-20151225084820

" Fish traps is probably the least used of all buildings and structures. It  is only used in certain types of maps (water maps) in certain situations when the player runs out of space on their island, there are no more fish around and they need to gather food for survival in late Imperial Age. Generally Farms are always a better option than fish traps in all game types in all maps."

Unless you have a maxed out farm fish traps are better.

The workers also cost wood instead of food.
