local garbagefillTile = table.deepcopy(data.raw["tile"]["landfill"])

garbagefillTile.name = "garbagefill"
garbagefillTile.tint = {0.85, 0.25, 0.25, 1}

The docs indicate this should be possible

Use a negative value if pollution is created instead of removed.

However, I have been unable to make a polluting tile. I fill up vast spaces with garbagefill and speed up the clock, but no pollution happens.

A chunk's pollution is not updated unless it's already polluted (or there are polluting entities). So, if you spawn even just a bit of pollution (/c game.player.surface.pollute({0,0}, 1)), you can observe that the tiles in that chunk produce pollution.

Thank you.

So I am gonna call this not a bug for now, since the code is working as was intended

[adamwong246]

yes, this was submitted under a misunderstanding of the pollution system.
