Pollution

[Solfius]

I now know that this process hasn't anything to do with object deterioration, as I spotted the process "deterioration" running - I'd say the silence from the game staff on this one means it something that's either being currently tested, or already implemented that they don't want to reveal.

Or the staff themselves don't know what it is

Yes, the mysterious ghost process - nobody knows how it got into the Cantr code, and nobody know what it's purpose is.

Well, Jos or Surly at least must know what it does.

I doubt Surly knows. Jos, Marol and CJ are your best(!) bets.

The pollution of a location causes random health damage to their citizens.

Big piles of resources cause pollution (spoiled goods, pests, water contamination).

Farming for animal products (hunting) increases pollution too.

Each building, vehicle and harvesting/mining machine has a fixed pollution burden. More of these = more pollution.

"Park" and "Sewer" buildings, and "Water treatment plant" and "Recyclement plant" machines have negative pollution, but they are expensive and require greater maintenance.

Roads transport pollution. The faster the road, the faster the pollution spread. Sewers increase the amount of pollution that is sent to other locations.

I believe we already have pollution. No idea about the details though.
