Deconstruction Zones are not Clockworks Tunnels, and vice versa. Why don't they have different elevator icons?

I think it'd be best if it

I think it'd be best if it was just the Gremlin symbol and leave it at that, maybe?

Gremlin symbol or...

A Thwack hammer?
A Nut? (Mechanical Screws and all that)
A Nut and bolt?
A Melting pot in the process of pouring?

SOMETHING.

Isn't Decon Zones the gremlin

Isn't Decon Zones the gremlin version of clockwork tunnel? that would explain the same icon.

The only variation I know are:

Haunted Passage- zombies
Infernal Passage- fiends
Mechanized Mile- Construct
Slimeway- jelly
Wild Path- beast

Not really.....

In the Clockwork tunnels, there is actually a path and all that. A deconstruction zone is pretty much a big field with locked rooms and keys you need to get.

They're a different map layout entirely.

that list

But gremlins don't have a tunnel with their own name.
I checked the wiki and it's like they share the mechanized mile with constructs.

Yeah but,

The Decon Zone is a DIFFERENT FIELD STRUCTURE.

Clockwork tunnels are pathway based, linking room areas.

Decon Zones are pretty much just GIANT rooms. With mini locker thingies with enemies and loot.

Either way, do you have any Icon ideas? Even just a 'Change the colour so it implies Gremlin ver.?'

I think a thwack hammer icon would be appropriate.

Candlestick reuses the pawn icon from the Gates themselves.
The Boss skull icon is reused too.

+1 to the opening post. It's annoying to have to open up the Gate Map every time a dark gray (or possibly brown) gear comes up on the elevator to check whether the stage is a construct Mechanized Mile or a Deconstruction Zone.

I think the icon for the Deconstruction Zones should be an orange version of the Lichenous Lair/Wolver Den/Devilish Drudgery icon. That icon implies that most of the enemies in that stage are the type indicated by the icon's color and the stage name. This certainly fits for the Deconstruction Zones, except the name doesn't mention any specific enemy type.

While we're on the subject of gremlin-themed stages, the gremlin Mechanized Mile should be renamed to "Gremlin Gateway" or something to differentiate it from the construct Mechanized Mile. It's weird that there are two different kinds of clockwork tunnels called Mechanized Mile.

^_-?

WHAT IS WITH YOU AND COWS!?

/signs up cow to be your roommate.

Have FUN.

@Zyborgs idea: That could work.

IMO anything of:
Thwack hammer
Gremlin Family symbol
Orange 'specialist field' icons (Wolver den, lichenous lair etcetc...)

As far as I can guess.

Somehow Gremlins remind me to

Somehow Gremlins remind me to cows, thats why i thought that a cow icon would work. Wolver, lichens, jellies and Vanaduke remind me to cows too. They may also change the icons of levels that feature this monsters to cow icons too.
