So I just barely started this game and in Sanctuary I tried to build a flamethrower trap at the entrance. I built it it, then built a generator. I connected it to the generator, and it started working just fine. I turned my back and connected the generator to a power line, and once the power line was connected, the flamethrower stopped working. I walked up to it and it said for me to repair using a few items, so I fixed it using the items. And I figured it was fine and clicked to move it, but it just says repair again. I repaired it four times in a row before I decided I was wasting them on this. I can't even move the flamethrower or store it or scrap it; my only option is to repair the stupid thing. Is this a glitch or did I do something wrong? I've given up on the flame trap and I just put a couple of turrets up for now. Anywho, thanks everyone.

Had the same problem, I'll join in to see if there s a fix. I was able to move it and scrap it tho. had to have the build menu open.

yeah actually finally was able to scrap it as well. but im keeping mine out hoping that this is a bug they will patch up later so it doesnt go to waste

It's a trap so it probably needs a switch or trigger to activate it. If it's just connected to power and on it probably burns itself out or something.
