Sensors and Traps
This mod allows you to craft sensors of various types, and apply them to objects to initiate an automatic action. Additionally sensors may trigger sound alarms or initiate explosions.
Examples:
- You can add a light sensor to a lamp so that it turns on automatically during night. Using sensors will allow you to conserve energy. If you you Immersive Solar Arrays, the efficiency of your setup will be improved greatly Additionally you will extend lifetime of your bulbs.
- You can add a proximity sensor to a gate so that it opens when player is near. This way you do not need to exit your car to open or close the gate
- You can add a power sensor that detects power shortage and turns on a (secondary) generator
- You can place a zombie sensor with a electric shock module that will guard your base

- You will need to find "Electronic Magaize vol 5 – Sensors" and read it to unlock recipe for all sensor types
- Craft a sensor of any type with 2 electronic scrap and glue. You will need to have at least electric skill level 2
- Click on the object you want to add sensor to, and select "Add Sensor" option
- If you want to remove the sensor, simply select "Remove Sensor" option.
To adjust sensor settings such a sensitivity, you will need to use a desktop computer. You must subscribe to "The Computer" by KONIJIMA mod. Turn on the computer and right click on computer keyboard, an option to reprogram the sensor will be available.
Not all sensor types have threshold levels and threshold levels min and max values are different for every sensor type.
You can check "invert" to invert the threshold rule. For example , for temperature sensor is threshold is 26 it will send positive signal when temperature is below 26C, but when you check "invert" it will send positive signal when the temperature exceeds 26C.
Sensor has module slots that can be added for extra functionality.
- Battery slot – sensor need power to operate. If there is no external power, the sensor can use the battery. Battery will deplete slowly each time sensor activates.
- Speaker slot – you can add amplifier module, this way sensor will trigger sound alarm when activated. The alarm will bring more attention however.
- Arm slot – you can add armed traps here, see below
The traps are danegerous for zombies and players no matter who triggers them. So watch out! To craft armed traps you will need to find and read "Electronic Magaize vol 6 – Traps".
- Shock trap – it will electrocute characters within sensor range. Electrocuted zombies’ movement will be limited and finally zombie will become a crawler. Players will fall down and their movement will be limited. No damage is inflicted apart from the damage that is possible due to the bump fall. The trap is persistent, it does not vanish after firing.
- Glass trap – it will explode and kill almost all zombies in the sensor range. Players will suffer from deep wounds with glass shards. The trap fires once and then the sensor is gone
- Nails trap – similar to glass trap, but without glass shards, but slighly more painful.
Traps will not work on players that are sneaking.
Features below are not implemented yet, but I am thinking about adding them.
- Other sensor types: Time sensor – activate at the given hour/minute
- Light bug – happens for some external light sources, probably modded ones. Destroy the object where sensor is placed when this happens.
- If you you pick up the object you will lose a sensor. Remove it first, move object and add sensor again.
- If you want gates to work correctly, add sensor to the edge of the gate, where the hinges are, not the center.
