WARNING: This completely legitimate no-cheating no-exploiting method of farming White Snippets can get you so many that it might ruin your enjoyment of the game.
They are tedious to find because they seem to rotate about the valley so you have to run around looking for where they are currently spawning.
The easiest way to catch them in large quantities is NOT to hunt around for them. Instead, just put down several LURE Traps.
You can even place them anywhere in the base game Valley, even if there currently are no White Snippets in the biome.
Then you go do something else and check back periodically to collect White Snippets -- of course, make sure you have a companion with the Snippet Catching skill.
It's not really necessary to upgrade the Lures, but that can reduce the frequency of checking in on the game to collect your Snippets since basic Lures can only hold three Snippets each.
Snippet Lure Traps are currently overpowered and if you place them in your base game Valley you'll see why: Even if White Snippets are not currently in the biome where you've placed the Lure Trap, the Traps will still create White Snippets over time.
Furthermore, Lure Traps do not actually "trap" snippets from their surroundings. They create them over time to float around the trap and are separate from the regular snippets that spawn about and that you have to chase after.
How Lure traps work, especially with White Snippets, is probably an unintended oversight so expect the behavior to eventually be changed to be more balanced. It seem clear that White Snippets were intended to be rare and hard to find because they can be crafted into any other type of snippet.
If you put down 5+ Lures (not even upgraded ones) you can get hundreds of Snippets in a matter of hours and you don't even have to actively play the game, just check in once in a while. The sheer amount you can get can in fact ruin your enjoyment of the game, so think carefully if you want to use this method.
