Trapped Chests

A Trapped Chest is a mechanical item that has the appearance of a normal chest. It cannot be used for storage, as it does not have any storage slots. When it is opened, it emits a signal and can be connected with wire.

Any chest can be crafted into a Trapped Chest at the Heavy Work Bench with the desired chest and 10 wire. The Trapped Chest can be sold for.

Unobtainable
In the game code there exist 2 Unobtainable Trapped Chests: ItemName.Fake_newchest1 and ItemName.Fake_newchest2 (these names are the internal names, as proper names don't exist). They can't be obtained by legitimate means, but if they're spawned into the Player's inventory, they do not immediately disappear, unlike most Unobtainable items.

In the inventory they have the same appearance as the normal Trapped Chest, and when placed into the world they look exactly like the Trapped Crystal Chest and Trapped Golden Chest, respectively.

These Trapped Chests were given new IDs when it was reported that they were glitched. The Player character and all items that were used in that moment freeze when the Cursor is hovered over them once they're placed. The Player character completely stops, even in mid-air, and no items can be used. The Player unfreezes once the cursor is moved away from these chests.

Trivia

 * There are several unplaceable Trapped Chest sprites despite them being fully functional: a trapped version of every Locked Chest, a Trapped Dead Man's Chest (that can't open), a Trapped Barrel, and a Trapped Trash Can.
 * Although Trapped Locked Chests need a key to be unlocked, they will still send a signal if the player tries to open one without having the appropriate key.
