How to Manage Machine Pollution and Environmental Damage

If the optional global warming system is enabled, operating heavy industrial machinery will generate pollution that can permanently harm your surrounding ecosystem.

Understanding Pollution Effects

Industrial machines generate environmental waste over time:

1. Standard furnaces and engines release smoke and pollution into the surrounding air as they burn fuel.

2. If pollution accumulates to high levels, local plant life will die, and standard dirt blocks will convert into ash.

3. If you do not wish to deal with ecological damage, navigate to the mod settings menu where you can toggle the entire pollution system on or off.

Cleaning the Air and Using Clean Energy

If you play with pollution enabled, balance your emissions with green technology:

1. Place Biofilters around your factory perimeter. Biofilters actively scrub and clean accumulated pollution from the surrounding air.

2. Transition away from polluting engines by placing passive solar panels, which generate energy directly from sunlight with zero emissions.

3. Explore the landscape to locate natural geysers. Cap these geysers with extraction equipment to harness clean, free geothermal energy that runs continuously day and night.
