Water Purifier (Apocalypse)
.png)
City regulations stipulate the highest possible water quality. The tall water purifiers are largely automated buildings and are difficult areas for combat, they also provide good hiding places for Alien spawn. The tall structures are also vulnerable to collapse, so explosive munitions should be avoided. From: Apocalypse Ufopaedia

Battlescape Combat
Prefer flying agents! A large level typically nine levels high owned by Evonet, cleaning the waste water, split halfway into two areas: the pipe levels and the water supply levels. The pipe section upper levels can be convoluted with one-wide narrow pipes and restrictive access to some areas due to the large pipes blocking simple access unless agents are flying. Moving through the pipes on foot is tedious. If two agents have met and they both need to get past, one will have to backtrack until the other can pass. A flying agent will simply fly up and over, in the pipe. All pipes are one-wide and two-high. Some large fans can block access to blue-exit-tiles. An agent may get stuck in certain areas surrounded by the pipe sections if they have fallen when the walkway collapses from battle damage. The top of the pipes are accessible and some can be jumped off to shorten the route instead of traversing the insides. The floor and pipes can collapse from strong explosives.
The water storage section, which are the ground and lower levels, contains walkways and water and a single room with machinery which has a forcefield holding back the water. All units in the water move at a slower speed. The room at the bottom allows a unit to walk through the forcefield both ways if not using the ramp. There are no exit tiles in the water. If the grav-lift and ramps are not accessible, anyone on Level One is stuck there.
No Swimming!
