You attempt to disarm the trap on the iron strongbox...

You barely have time to register a faint click before a blinding flash explodes around you, and you find yourself being hurled half-senseless through the air!
You are stunned!
As the fireball threatens to blossom further, you ineptly clutch the strongbox close to yourself!

I understand that this was implemented to prevent people from blowing boxes in crowded rooms on purpose, but is it supposed to do that even when you are alone?

Yes, it's supposed to do that if you don't have any business disarming or picking through that particular trap. The way it detects this for disarming is a little screwed up but that will be fixed relatively soon.

Been getting that on boxes I can disarm blindfolded. It's good to hear that it's getting worked on.

picking thru ain't the problem. i get it on the harvesting step. the other steps aren't a problem. ALthough i'd much prefer the "self-inflicted" box on the poison gas traps rather than getting a warrent.
