• 1) Adding a garbage dump that SLOWLY destroys items, but produces pollution which amount depends of the number of items it contains.

• 2) Adding recipe for poison-land-mines

It doesn't really make sense that you can distill pollution into poison capsules that are pollution-free and can't just distill it to the poison inside capsules without encapsulating them.

Coolthulhu wrote:The garbage dump idea is good, but it shouldn't be a resourcesink for waste, just a way to move the source of pollution away from the main base. Actually removing the waste would be better represented by some energetically costly recycling process.

Coolthulhu wrote:Results? You mean products that can be made from waste?

From what I can read, hazardous waste that is recycled is mostly metals and solvents. Those aren't filtered from air, though.
Scrubbers that filter air remove mostly acid gases, including sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide that can be easily made into sulfuric acid with just water and oxygen as other reactants.

But maybe some other ingredients, like coal(-dust)?

@Deathmage
It produces CO2 already, but it is released directly into the enviroment
Just kidding, any ideas for dry ice uses? The point is that I want to avoid situations where you sit on tons and tons of useless stuff.

Anyway it is just 0.1.0 - there is plenty of room for improvements and expansion. Suggestions are always welcome!
