Honey Trap

`

The Honey Trap is a Treatment machine, used only in Wax Works by a Doctor to cure patients with Hive Mind. It is first made available in Betts Shore, which requires the Speedy Recovery DLC.

Appearance
Situated on a brown base with a light-coloured wooden top, the machine resembles a cross between a sandwich press and a beehive. To the front is a metal grate for the patient to stand on, to the right a dark metal lever with a yellow beehive on top, and to the left is a yellow honey pot on a hatch with black and yellow stripes around the edge.

The bottom half of the machine has three wooden trapezoidal sections in increasing size. The upper "press" section is shaped and decorated to look like two pieces of toast, with metal plates inside and indentations in each half for the patient's head. A large splash of honey can be seen on the lower plate.

The Honey Trap II adds three connected dark brown hexagonal sections in the back-right corner, with the outer two filed in with lighter wood. They are connected to the machine by a dark pipe.

The Honey Trap III further adds a round blue vase on the left-hand side, containing a white flower with a yellow pistule.

Function
The doctor will direct the patient to step onto the grate, from which smoke will emanate, driving away the encircling bees. The patient will then place their head inside the machine, upon which the doctor will pull the lever, causing the contraption to slam shut, compressing the patient's head. Honey will drain from the machine into the waiting pot as the machine breaks down the beehive. Pulling the lever back will cause the machine to open, revealing the patient with their head unemcumbered, their treatment complete.

Maintenance
The Honey Trap loses 5-10% of its maintenance gauge with each use. Once the gauge falls below 50%, a Janitor will automatically be called to repair it. A janitor can be summoned manually by the player by selecting the machine and pressing.

Should the maintenance gauge fall below 15%, the machine will catch fire. A janitor will need to use an Extinguisher to put this out before the gauge reaches zero; if it is allowed to do so, the machine will explode, leaving wreckage which must be sold and replaced with a new machine before the room can resume functioning.

Upgrades
Upgrades are performed by a Janitor with the Mechanics Qualification. The machine will not be accessible while this work is being done, although it can be interrupted and resumed without losing progress.

Staff
A will be required to run Wax Works, and by extension the Honey Trap.

In addition, a will be required to maintain the machine, with  in order to provide upgrades.
