Industrial Waste Mound

Slag Heap (Chemical Hazard Zone)

A massive industrial waste mound of toxic sludge and chemicals, including the perimeter areas forming razor-thin boundaries between controlled ground and toxic ascension. The heap is a hazardous landscape with unstable terrain, chemical residues, and shifting toxic pools. While tunnels and caverns exist within it (like emergency shelters), the heap itself is the dangerous external structure. Features perilous slopes, acrid chemical air, and scattered mining equipment remnants.
