Pitch Pit

The Pitch Pit is a buildable defensive structure designed to create hazardous zones for your enemies. Fill it with chemfuel, ignite it, and watch as pawns that cross its fiery expanse suffer burn damage, with a chance to catch fire themselves. This mod adds strategic depth to your base defenses, allowing you to control chokepoints and deter attackers.

Features:

• Buildable Defensive Structure: Construct a Pitch Pit to create a dangerous area for enemies.
• Ignitable Hazard: Manually ignite the pit with a colonist to activate its burning state.
• Configurable Burn Duration: The duration of the burn is determined by the amount of chemfuel used, with one unit of chemfuel lasting approximately one RimWorld hour.
• Periodic Burn Damage: Pawns within the Pitch Pit's cells take regular burn damage.
• Chance to Catch Fire: Affected pawns have a chance to catch fire, spreading the danger.
• Fire Spread Mechanic: The Pitch Pit has a small chance to spread fire to adjacent flammable cells, creating a wildfire effect.
• Chemfuel Powered: Requires chemfuel for operation, with a capacity of up to 5 units.
• Multiple Variants: Includes 1x1, 1x2, and 1x3 footprint variants with scaled costs and visuals.
• Strategic Depth: Useful for defending chokepoints but dangerous near wooden structures and friendly pawns.
• Save/Load Compatible: The burning state and remaining duration are saved and loaded correctly.
• Gizmo and Float Menu Options: Ignite the Pitch Pit via a building gizmo or a pawn's right-click context menu.

Note:
While effective for defense, be mindful of the Pitch Pit's proximity to flammable materials and your own colonists.
