A single wastepack is destroyed every {{ticks|30000}} or 12 in-game hours inside a powered atomizer. Pawns only reload the Atomizer with full stacks of Wastepacks, or once every 2.5 days. Wastepacks do not deteriorate in the atomizer. |

[[Caravan]] dumping away from factions takes time, food, and a large carrying capacity, while dumping near factions loses [[goodwill]]. As they work, atomizers will save on freezer space. |
− | However, | + | However, the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] project takes 8000 research points seperate from [[Research#Ultra Mechtech|Ultra Mechtech]], the actual building requires defeating an [[apocriton]] for ''each'' structure, and it constantly uses 800 W of power. Finally, the atomizer's rate of removal isn't all that fast to begin with. Therefore, another source of waste disposal may be required, anyways. See the below section for details. |

− | + | Mechanoids actively working consume 10% of their energy budget per day. At the end of recharging a number of wastepacks is created proportional to how much bandwidth a particular mechanoid uses. This means that a continuously working mech will create wastepacks roughly every 11.5 days. | |
− | |||
− | + | The atomizer will destroy 23 wastepacks in 11.5 days. The table below shows how many mechanoids a single building will support per 11.5 day cycle. The table assumes a mechanoid is able to have 100% work uptime. Mechanoids without work, or mechanoids put in the dormant state will naturally last longer and thus produce less waste. | |
