Pipe

A Pipe is the main way that Slugcat and other fauna of Rain World traverse between rooms. Pipes can be used by all fauna except for the larger predators, such as Vultures and Leviathans. However mobile Rot Cysts are able to squeeze through pipes to catch prey.

Pipes usually have 3 lines at the entrances, but some have a triangle instead.

Pipes can be used to outmaneuver medium-sized predators like Lizards and Centipedes. Hiding in a pipe can be a good method of ambushing Lizards from behind, so the player does not need a piece of Rubbish to get past the Lizard's head armor. Pipes, like mentioned earlier, cannot host larger predators like Vultures. This makes for an easy way to escape them. The player must always use a Pipe to access a Karma Gate.

In Karma Gate rooms, there are usually 2 Pipes, 1 to enter, and another to exit.

Pipes with a triangle at the entrance instead of 3 lines are usually shorter and usually do not cover the distance between rooms, but instead to a different area within the same room.

When another creature is using a Pipe, the entrances will flash the color of that creature. For instance, if a Green Lizard is coming through the Pipe, the entrance will flash green, giving the player a warning and time to either flee or get ready for a fight.
