Reimpliment Polluted Water using the germ system


Recommended Posts

Do away with polluted water and reimplement it using a version of the germ system. Water could have a "pollution load level" and would be colored based on the amount of pollution. You can send polluted water to your electrolyzers and they'll get clogged eventually requiring maintenance. You can send clean water to your fertilizer makers and they will just consume it and not generate fertilizer or gas. Your dupes can cook with polluted water and it negatively affects the quality of the food created and may cause a new type of sickness "impacted gut" (or whatever) that is treated with a new pill type: laxatives which may result in uncontrollable incontinence. Water can be partially cleaned by building "settling basins" where pollution slowly falls to the bottom of the tank resulting in a vertical pollution gradient. Water with a pollution load over a certain amount, and subject to high pressure (say 1100 Kg) will spontaneously spawn polluted dirt and will become cleaner. You would probably want to set the pressure level at which polluted dirt precipitates out of water at something that can be achieved with a vertical block height of some number, for instance, a 15 block high water column will precipitate polluted dirt.
