Traps

Traps are created under the Utilities menu. When a Hostile passes a trap, they gain a negative Effect, often dealing some damage or restricting their movement. Traps are especially effective in 1 block wide corridors as different traps' effects are stacked up.

There are also a limited number of wild carnivorous plants making this trap quite limited.

Bamboo Trap

Bamboo Trap.
Left: Armed,
Right: Activated.

Uses

The bamboo trap deals lots of damage to a group of enemies at once. It uses its the Line of Sight of the first monster to hit it to determine the Area of Effect of the attack, dealing 200 damage.

"The trap works by flinging bamboo spikes into the eyes of the monster or person that set it off.

The pain from having spikes in their face makes the triggering entity hate life, hate the world, and everything in it. This causes that monster or person to fling the bamboo spikes that are jammed in it at its friends, because it doesn't want to be the only one who is suffering.

This is why the trap depends on the triggering entity line-of-sight.

The entities that are hit by these thrown spikes now also have spikes jammed in them, but they are too brittle and flimsy now to be thrown a second time, so that is why the damage only "jumps" one time. " Cooldown is 1d220+120 (121-340).

Requirements

It requires 3 bamboo and needs to be crafted on a Carpentry bench
