Editing Trap

{{Stub|reason = Interlinking, analysis}}

'''Traps''' are static defenses that trigger when enemies step upon, since they are invisible to them. {{Hover title|Version/1.4.3200|At the time of writing}}, all traps in-game are single-use, have to be rebuilt after use,and cannot be placed directly next to one another.

== Summary ==
{{Trap Note}}

== Notes ==
Traps belonging to the enemy are still visible to you (the player), but not to the colonists, whose pathfinding will not avoid the traps. Note that {{Hover title|Version/1.4.3200|as of the time of writing}}, no known vanilla events will generate enemy traps.

{{Main|Defense structures}}

Traps should be laid on "easy" access paths, to maximize the chances an enemy will use it. The un-trapped path for colonists may be protected with doors, so that the enemy AI consider them a waste of effort.

Explosive traps should be kept away from colonists. They are more useful in the outskirts.
