===Pollution===

When a wastepack is destroyed in any fashion, they will pollute 6 ground tiles of a colony, per wastepack. A full stack of 5 wastepacks pollutes 30 tiles. This pollution can spread through constructed [[wall]]s, but will not bypass natural stone walls.

When dumped from a [[caravan]] or sent via unmanned [[transport pod]], wastepacks will lower the [[goodwill]] of a nearby faction or the faction base that you polluted. The goodwill loss is proportional to the amount of waste dumped: −1 goodwill for just a few  packs nearby, −60 or more for multiple pods filled with wastepacks dumped directly on a base. Factions (except tribes) may retaliate by dropping wastepacks back at you, and hostile factions may send an additional [[raid]].

When dropped in a [[caravan]] or unmanned [[transport pod]], they will lower [[goodwill]] of a nearby faction by some amount. In addition, factions may drop wastepacks back at you,and hostile factions can start a [[raid]].{{Check Tag|Mechanics unclear|How does this work?}} Waste dropped this way immediately pollutes the ''world'' tile they're dropped on by 0.05% - it takes 2000 wastepacks to fill a hex. Dropping them on a water hex applies an 8x multiplier, meaning 250 wastepacks will fill it.

Wastepacks dumped on the world map immediately pollute the world tile by 0.05%, requiring 2000 wastepacks to completely pollute a hex from 0% to 100%.

The packs also deteriorate in the same way as all other items. As an example, 5 Toxic wastepacks left out in the rain will dissolve 1 wastepack after 4 days and deteriorate the rest over the course of the next day or so as they lose HP at a rate of 20 per day outside in the rain. This means that even if temperature is below freezing when left outside or unroofed, a wastepack will slowly lose HP and eventually be destroyed, releasing the pollution inside. Unlike most other items, deterioration leaves behind the pollution inside rather than deleting the item altogether.
+
This is separate from the actual [[deterioration]] mechanic. Even if temperature is below freezing, a wastepack will slowly lose HP and eventually be destroyed, when left outside and unroofed.

Depending on [[biome|climate]] and freezer setup, you can get more storage with 1 cooler. And this is 1 cooler - worth {{Required Resources|Cooler}} and {{Q|Cooler|Power Consumption}} W of [[power]] (plus the material for [[wall]]s and [[door]]s). You can easily use multiple coolers to store your waste. This gives you enough time to get a form of waste disposal ready.

*'''Letting it pollute.''' Pollution is localized - wastepacks that deteriorate or dissolve away from your base won't have an impact, at least for a while. [[Insectoid]]s may come as wastepacks are destroyed, and [[acidic smog]] can happen at high enough pollution levels.

−
*'''Dumping it offsite.''' Dumping near a [[faction base]] (up to 41 tiles?{{Check Tag|Safe distance?}}) will lower [[goodwill]] proportional to distance, wastepacks, and current goodwill. Wastepacks may also be dropped back at you, and if the faction is already hostile, you may start a [[raid]]. Dumping within 4 tiles of your colony will increase the chance for acidic smog.

**'''[[Transport pod]]s''' can dump wastepacks far away. You can choose which faction to anger, or possibly dump it away from anybody. 1 pod, which can store up to 25 wastepacks, and per launch costs {{Required Resources|Transport pod}}, and a variable amount of {{icon small|chemfuel}} [[chemfuel]] depending on how far you launch it.

**'''[[Shuttle]]s''' {{RoyaltyIcon}} store up to 166 wastepacks (1000kg) at a time, and simply transporting waste will not anger the [[Empire]] - dumping it has the usual penalties. This costs 1 permit slot, has a cooldown of 40 days, and requires a [[noble]] pawn of at least Knight/Dame rank. This permit can theoretically support up to 5 bandwidth without honor costs (although the realistic value is slightly smaller).

*'''[[Wastepack atomizer]]s''' have no direct consequences from their use. However, they require a precious [[nano structuring chip]] to create, a fair amount of [[power]], and aren't fast. One atomizer can support 4.8 [[bandwidth]] of mechanoids - a [[mechanitor]] is very likely to have more.

*'''[[Polux tree]]s''', which are another clean form of pollution removal. These trees only grow naturally if there is plenty of pollution already, though [[polux seed|seeds]] can be bought from traders. They clean only 20% as fast as a [[Wastepack atomizer]], and can only clean if there is no artificial buildings in the area, but will erase [[pollution]] directly from the ground. This is also a downside for dealing with future pollution, as these trees do not stop wastepack infestations.

*'''[[Subcore ripscanner]]s''', which exploitatively locks wastepacks carried on a pawn on death. The pawn's corpse can then be destroyed along with any wastepacks in its inventory. This does not cause pollution.
