Possibility of deleting debris

[Padishar]

As it is right now, it is rather easy to delete gases or liquids by venting them to space. However, I think it would be very nice to have a building or a game mechanic to get rid of solid debris. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the fact that I have over time tons and tons of igneous rock if I tame a volcano. Also having gagillion amount of seeds is bothering me a little bit.

Seeds can be composted, but there’s no way to automate this.  They can also be fed to pacu.

Solid cargo modules need an option allowing us to jettison their content into space.

• Igneous -> stone hatch -> coal -> refined carbon -> diamond
• Igneous -> sand -> glass
• Igneous -> sand -> clay -> ceramic
• Igneous -> sand -> polluted dirt -> dirt -> wheat
• Igneous -> sand -> polluted dirt -> dirt -> mealwood -> glossy drecko -> plastic
• Igneous -> sand -> polluted dirt -> polluted oxygen -> puft -> slime -> algae -> oxygen

What you mention is not actually deleting mass but only reducing it or transforming it, not to mention that building this chains is defenetly too complicated/not fun if you set them up only for the purpose of deleting some Igneous.

Whenever you can change stuff into liquid or gas you can drop it into space to get rid of it. Melting the extra rock might be challenging on a larger scale but maybe crushing it into sand and dropping molten glass into space is a solution.
