[2.0.14] Factoriopedia on pollution of boiler with higher quality is wrong

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[2.0.14] Factoriopedia on pollution of boiler with higher quality is wrong

Post by TheGringe »

I noticed that in the Factoriopedia the pollution value of the boiler is described to be constant at 30/minute, not increasing with quality. Once I built an uncommon boiler, the value of the built boiler was at 39/min.

Thanks for the report. This is a side effect of the boiler consuming more fuel to produce more steam within the shorter time frame. The constant rate of pollution-per-energy produced is the same, just it's producing more energy in the same time frame and so more pollution. I don't know if we want to change the pollution display for this or call this a minor issue and leave it as is.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Thanks for the reply!
I can just say that I did not expect this behaviour because of the pollution-per-minute reading, I was not aware that it is actually programmed as pulltion-per-energy. I would not have built a higher quality boiler if I knew that.
