From 72d94b9f2844249abc3f3d3b4b1a8bf72cc273d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: George Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 22:42:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?Slow=20pollution=20decay=204x=20=E2=80=94=20BAS?= =?UTF-8?q?E=5FDECAY=5FRATE=200.008=20=E2=86=92=200.002?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Air pollution half-life goes from ~48 sim cycles (~2 min at 1x) to ~192 cycles (~8 min). Ground and water pollution persist proportionally longer. Pollution from furnaces, campfires, and acid rain now lingers long enough to meaningfully damage regions rather than clearing in seconds.
