== Description ==
''This one will hurt. A large steel jaw triggered by a spring that could chop off a foot or two.''
The '''man trap''' is a [[trap]] used to damage the feet.
== Creating ==
* Creation success is influenced by the active [[dredge scraping lip]].
* Failure in creating will only damage the inactive dredge scraping lip; failure in continuing will damage the [[spring]].
* These are difficult to make and continue, around 45 [[blacksmithing]] is recommended.
* The success rate is highly dependent on the [[quality]] of the material.
== Improving ==
* The [[man trap]] can only be improved with [[steel|steel lumps]]
* Improvement uses the [[blacksmithing]] skill and items: [[lump]], [[hammer]], [[water]], [[pelt]], and [[whetstone]].
* Higher quality traps deal more [[damage]].
== Usage ==
Man traps are placed on [[grass]] and [[dirt]] tiles, the [[traps]] skill affects the placement chance.
== Notes ==
* The '''man trap''' is small enough to fit into a [[small cart]]
* Improving '''man traps''' takes a large amount of steel, so it is not advisable for skill gain alone.
* With a high blacksmithing skill, these traps are the easiest and most efficient trap to create, requiring only 3kgs of steel to complete.
