Snow Pine

Snow Pine is a terrain block found on the Sunken Pier map. It appears as a snowy pine tile within the map's environmental tileset and interacts with placement and movement in the same way as other terrain blocks on that map. The block is part of the map's natural features rather than a player-constructible building and contributes to the map's visual and navigational variety.

Snow Pine commonly appears in clumps across the central island and surrounding archipelago, often interspersed with patchy terrain tiles and the map's metal-floor ruins. Its placement can create narrow choke points and obstruct direct paths for both ground units and player movement, so players must account for it when planning base layouts, defensive walls, and unit routes. Snow Pine does not provide resources or construction bonuses; its primary impact is tactical, shaping fields of engagement and tower placement lines of sight.

• Snow Pine tiles block building placement similarly to other obstructive terrain types; plan core and factory positions on clear metal or dirt tiles to avoid wasted space.
• Use naval units and amphibious paths where Snow Pine clusters combine with partially submerged metal flooring; the Sunken Pier map allows naval movement through submerged coastal areas that bypass some snowy terrain obstacles.
• Snow Pine contributes to natural chokepoints around the derelict mega-ruin. Defenders should exploit these narrow passages to funnel enemy waves; attackers should prepare area-of-effect or mobility units to overcome such terrain.
• When salvaging the derelict ruins nearby, note that Snow Pine does not yield salvageable blocks; focus salvage efforts on the ruin's structures (mechs, production setups, and metal flooring) which provide valuable parts and components for early game progression.
