But you still have the machine-dependent part of the pollution, in this case the pollution caused by mining drills directly at the place where they've been put. If you're using solar then you already removed the main source of pollution, which is the boilers. Efficiency modules are only able to limit the power usage to 20%, the same applies to the pollution created - it directly scales with power usage.Įfficiency modules are still effective when using solar power.

A mining drill has a default pollution of 9, which can be increased using speed modules (they also increase the power used), or decreased using efficiency modules down to a limit of 20% of the used power (on a mining drill that is 1.8 pollution). The pollution directly scales with the power required. And since a tree absorbs polution when it is damage (the amount equal to the next value), the lower the value the faster it starts absorbing pollution. My base is mostly powered by solar and accumulators. 3 Name Lips 11:57am Originally posted by Razekh: Like it says in the tooltip, it is the minimum amount of pollution needed to cause damage to a tree.

They don't reduce pollution, unless you are running full steam engines. Originally posted by chris:Tried putting efficiency mods into your miners yet?
