Yeah, some of you have probably already found this but for those that haven't
It's embedded in the ground in the E3 and PCgamer builds in the same spot. As we all know from build 96, the terrain height was lowered at some point. For whatever reason, the padlock's position wasn't altered to account for it. So while it's probably still related to the nearby shed, it seems it was never intended to be attached to it. (and yes, it's the black rectangle in the first photo.)
Naturally, IJ took a much different design direction as development progressed. It went from a dense beautiful jungle, to a dense rocky sad forest with fewer trees and lots of gorges.

Re: So that floating padlock in IJ
I have not taken a notice that the padlock was left in the same position in old versions too, interesting find.
Maybe the padlock is so tiny that the devs never actually noticed it and moved or removed it?

Found this and forgot about it.. The IJ3 floating padlock has always interested me. Wonder why they left it?.. Too small..

Noticed that in b116... Couldn't find it in b96. Wonder why they left it there.

It's there in build 96 (I know because I've found it)
