TL;DR

The heating tower should produce pollution just like a boiler does.

What ?

It’s a pretty simple premise, I don’t think you need to read it a 3rd time. Compared to a boiler, it should produce a similar amount of pollution or a little bit more. Because in the long run, its improved burning efficiency would still make it less polluting.

Why ?

Honestly, I couldn’t decide if I should be making a suggestion or a bug report. This is just a simple oversight. It’s a burner building with a big chimney, there’s no reason for it not to emit pollution when on Nauvis. Like I said, it should definitely be more pollution efficient than a boiler as a reward for its increased complexity, but completely lacking a pollution stat is a bit too much.

agree but I think I have to think about it more to compare it to other things

Just read the newest patch notes… Yay, I won
