Producing pollution

[sparr]

Can an unpowered entity produce pollution automatically? If not, would it be better for me to make an invisible power source or to just loop through my entities ontick and produce the pollution myself?

As I understand it, the pollution generated is directly influenced by the passive power drain. If it is unable to drain as much power, it generates less pollution. With no power, it generates no pollution.

There might be a way around it, so hopefully someone with more experience will give you an answer.
