It's not worth to craft it and I suggest a few change to this item.
- The Threat Detector should be able to detect these form of Neighbor: Kid form in 30s after he had transformed into a kid, flying ghost, camouflage clown.
- Threat Detector should be able to detect traps nearby and make different sound than when it detect the Neighbor.
- It should notify the player when: a sonar button has been pressed by the Neighbors and Taxidermist skill or the Guest using crow sense so now we have more time to hide.
- Since threat detector take up a slot in the inventory but the Inventor kid need a slot for a crowbar too, so there's no slot left for other items, I think the Threat Detector need to be remake into a Lamp that will take up the flashlight slot and provide better light, now player can easily track the danger around them on their hand and when the Neighbor get close the player can choose to turn off the Lamp to hide and stop making sound from the device.
- If the player is holding the Threat Detector Lamp and suddenly get caught then it will automatically drop to the ground and mark the Neighbor location to send help when he still holding the kid.
- For all these advantages increase to 6 gears to craft a Threat Detector Lamp.
