The easiest way to use polux trees is to plant them nearby, and leave toxic wastepacks in a stockpile zone next to the tree. Wastepacks outdoors deteriorate into pollution every 8 days assuming no rain or cold temperatures, creating 6 tiles of pollution. | The easiest way to use polux trees is to plant them nearby, and leave toxic wastepacks in a stockpile zone next to the tree.

In 8 days, a polux tree cleans {{#expr: (8*24)/10 round 1}} tiles. Meaning that a single polux tree can have a stockpile of {{#expr: ((8*24)/10)/6 round 1}} stacks of wastepacks deteriorating without being overwhelmed. However, this assumes that no rain ever increases the deteriorating rate of the packs. To avoid this, consider placing the stockpile next to a natural rock face to act as a support for a roof to cover the stockpile. | In 8 days, a polux tree cleans {{#expr: (8*24)/10 round 1}} tiles.

− | + | [[Polux seed]]s are rarely worth buying. This is due to the combination of their high cost, the tree's relatively low waste-clearing speed, and the fact that low amounts of pollution do not have much impact on your colony. As long as the pollution is physically far away, the only negatives of it are wastepack infestations and [[acidic smog]]. Polux trees do not stop infestations, as they occur on wastepack destruction, not pollution in general. Meanwhile, acidic smog can be mitigated almost entirely by using [[sun lamp]] greenhouses and non-solar energy. Even then, at only 10% or so pollution (200 wastepacks), smog is a rare event. | |
− | + | A polux tree can clean a bit more than 1 [[toxifier generator]]'s worth of waste, allowing for a form of clean energy. The tree cannot be placed near the generator, making you use a [[pollution pump]] and have colonists haul it to the tree. However, clean energy should be compared to 1. leaving wastepacks far from your colony and buying the polux seeds later, or 2. [[cooler|freezing]] the wastepacks. If you have no better use for silver, then you might as well buy the trees. | |
