Mechanism's and traps/machinery.
« on: January 22, 2012, 03:58:07 pm »
So, i have seen alot of people and the wiki mention that the quality of mechanisms used affects the power of a trap.

i just wanted to know how much it affects what kinds of traps. and if other things are affected too. (bridges/pumps/etc)

thanks in advance.

I think only traps are affected, and then I think only weapon traps area affected.  As for how much it affects it, I'm not positive, but I think it gives an improvement on the accuracy of the trap's weapons.  I think the weapon type, material and quality makes more of a difference than the mechanisms, especially if the enemies are armored.

only weapon traps

cage traps always capture and the reaction times of various other things are not influenced
