I've tried searching the low areas of the kelp forest, I've tried baiting with metal, I've let them bite my seamoth... I observed stalkers pick up and put down HUNDREDS of scrap metal pieces and not a single drop. I have spent hours hunting for them in the forests. I get maybe 1 tooth an hour. Is it this build? Is it me? There are some really important things that require enameled glass and I am completely stagnant!

It doesn't need raising much,as teethe are dropped, but they can be easily lost among the grass and then you can be left following a group of stalkers for goodness knows how long without seeing a single tooth.
My tactic is never to scan the stalker tooth. Then I use the scanner tool to comb the grass until the scanning icon pops up.
2. find stalker eggs
3. hatch stalker eggs
4. let stalkers breed
5. bring 3-4 stalkers and 4-5 metal scraps to a spot and watch it start raining teeth.
Same thing for me but i just terraform a big hole under my base and put the stalkers in it (You dont care about the biome). stalkers farm teeth in a safe cage accessible with hatch
I tried .... but i was quickly bored. It's like fishing in minecraft.
I don't have a Seamoth, so once the 2nd or 3rd Stalker drops the metal I'll try to get close to look for teeth but then another Stalker approaches so I get attacked instantly.

I still vote on being like that female merc. Just go up to it, grab hold of its jawas and teeth, and wrestle the suckers out!
But I'm not that badass, so I'll still settle on sitting with my seamoth nearby a junkpile and watch the teeth fall as the stalkers steal from each other.
2) Fire Propulsion cannon at a Stalker's mouth and hold it snared.
3) Fire Repulsion Cannon at the Stalker's body.
4) Grab tooth hovering in front of you.
5) Revel in your medieval dentistry skills.
Careful you don't kill it though, shooting a couple of them can kill the stalker
I think the best way, is to get some stalker eggs, grow some of them, and then put down like 4 pieces of scrap and release them outside. That's the easiest way as far as I can tell. If there's 3-5 in the same place, there'll be a lot of teeth.
Buuut that's just from what I saw.
Or you can make a farm
Honestly no need for a Stalker farm. Before I used to wait until I needed them to collect them, which was a pain. Now, I simply keep my eyes peeled for them as soon as the game starts and everytime I pass through the Kelp Forest. If I see one, I pick it up even if it means dropping someting else first. With this technique, I usually find myself with 5 to 10 teeth in reserve by the time I need them for the Cyclops and Scanner Room. Although, I don't go crazy on Observatories so that may be why I don't need that many teeth.
I agree with both these posts. There are plenty of teeth out there, you just need to look hard for them. Remember, there's more than one kelp forest biome.
