Traps

Traps are most commonly found in the dungeons, of these, most are the Dart Trap.

Tips
You can see the wiring of a Trap while holding a Wrench, Wire Cutter, Wires, or anything wireable (except torches, statues and doors).

You may want to use a pressure plate to see the wiring, after removing the pressure plate with a Hammer. This can be very useful in the beginning of the game.

Underground traps can be a very good source of wire, as you can get up to 30 or 40 wires. One gold coin is equivalent to only 20 wires. Traps are also the only source of dart shooters.

If you see a 2 wide hole that goes through some thin stone in cave, it is likely a boulder trap
