Pool Cover

hazard

seed current version v0.1

A readable-looking shortcut over a pool whose proposed failure state is an immediate full soak.

Legend

The shortest line across the yard is blue, flat, and lying.

Suburb

Pool covers are real fixtures. Trap behavior is a possibility constrained by the project's full-information rule.

Current draft

The pool cover looks traversable but may collapse into an instant full soak. That interaction must be telegraphed; surprise alone is not enough.

Why this possibility exists

It turns an ordinary safety object into legible terrain tension around the map's largest water body.

Still unresolved

  • The warning tell and whether it changes after one collapse.
  • Whether lightweight units or thrown objects interact differently.
