Pollution producing mod: Why?

[Aeternus]

I have to ask since this has been bothering me for a bit now. Why is the "Pollution producing mod" a thing? What is the point of it? To produce pollution, obviously but... why would you -want- to increase that?

biter bait.

Biters are actually attracted to pollution sources, and when you start bellowing out 2000% pollution from a specific entity, it will draw the biters to it like a magnet. It's useful for farming artifacts.

Ah. But you probably mean "was" useful, seeing as artifacts have been removed, even in your mod. Well, if it's just for bugbait, I can skip on that module chain next time!

Tbh I'm using green modules with prod so my base poluttion is very low.
With Natural evolution deductions I'm not going to get above 40% or so.. so pollution module is required to go higher

well you do want something that can take a nuke to the face that is the way to go.

You can turn artifacts on again in the mod settings menu.
