Lore question: Whats the green liquid after dung defender?
You turn the valve, what does that do? And what is that liquid?

Spoilers, folks:

it's acid, same substance that you find in the green areas and fungal wastes. There's a passageway that's flooded with acid in the waterworks, and the valve opens it up for passage. Actually a crucial part of the game.

Why would the kingdom have acid in pipes though? What's the use of it? (Iv'e gotten the way to traverse it, i was just passing through and thought about it)

They probably don't so much have acid, as have a way to pump it out when it builds up naturally.

The part I like is how the architects of the City decided to put deadly spikes on top of all elevators. That way if an elderly bug is waiting for the elevator to come up, slips and falls down the elevator shaft he will be impaled and die horribly, and the kingdom won't have to waste any more taxpayer's money on him. Brilliant.

And the sheer number of elevators! Rather than making a single elevator go all the way up and down the building, they made roughly twenty short elevators. Great game for anyone who loves elevators!

It's like a spiritual successor to Mass Effect

Actually I've been in a bunch of buildings like that in real life, that have elevators that only go 1-3 floors of a 6+ story building. It's... odd, for sure.

I think it just gameplay aspect, not lore one
