are boobytrap chests worth making?

Postby ArgentRhapsody » Fri Nov 27, 2015 6:03 am

what does each of them do? wiki does not explain at all. snake, rat and explosion ones are self explanatory but what does the flutterbomb do? does the grenade chest blow up objects around it?

seems like it would just piss off anyone who was strong enough to get in and encourage them to go on a smashing spree to me, but I don't know. are they strong enough to really make a difference against a raider?

They aren't destructive enough... minor annoyance at best.

When I read how someone died from openining one...regardless of their humors... maybe then I change my mind.

As is; it's a waste mechanic created for no particular purpose... a Dev fancy that went nowhere seemingly.

Devs can't score everytime...

they ARE worth it

a bombshell trap chest can still KO you and thus if u raid a base ur stuck for 24h KOd on the claim and can be looted
a bombshell trap WILL Permakill you if opened on Bloodmoon
a Snake Chest WILL spawn a Quetzlcoatl that can fight you and permakill you

quetzlcoatls can permakill? :o

wiki didnt say anything about that

how long until it despawns? or does it just not attack anyone but the person who opened the chest?

is the bombshell chest nearly instant KO?

will traps trigger on anyone, or only intruders?

sorry if im overbearing with all these questions :(

wiki really needs more contributors

a bombchest is 100% KO no matter if u have 10 bils or 10million

traps trigger on who opens them

quetzlcoatl does like al ldarkness monsters have a small chance to permakill

ohh. but where do shell fragments come from? wiki once again does not deliver
also, does the bombchest damage things around it?

thanks for answering all these questions :)
