Pipe Blockage

Pipe Blockage is a weather effect in Mewgenics that floods the battlefield with extra poop and sewage tiles. These tiles create terrain hazards that units must path around, adding movement complications and potential status effects to each encounter.

Poop tiles in Mewgenics slow movement and can apply unpleasant status effects to units that walk through them. In wide-open arenas, pathing around poop is a minor inconvenience. In tight arenas with limited movement corridors, poop tiles can block critical paths and force your cats to take longer routes or accept the status effect penalty.

One important interaction to remember is that poop tiles are flammable. A fire ability used near a sewage-covered area can ignite the poop, converting it from a movement hazard into a fire hazard. This can be exploited offensively (igniting poop in an area where enemies are standing) or can backfire if you accidentally set fire to poop near your own cats.

Pipe Blockage is thematically appropriate for The Sewers but can appear in any biome. It is classified as a common weather and represents one of the lower-threat environmental effects, primarily creating pathing inconveniences rather than direct combat dangers.
