Proximity activators are Mechanoid cluster buildings added by the Royalty DLC. They activate after 1,200 ticks (20 secs), and then wake up the cluster when any human steps within a 12.9 tile radius.

Trivia

Like all mech cluster buildings, they not only have a Flammability of 0%, but also take no damage from attacks with the Flame damage type. This is in contrast to, for example, a stone wall which will not be ignited by molotov cocktails but will take the 10 flame damage from the initial attack.
