I just spent several hours thinking I made a huge mistake by coming to Muria before unlocking either heating towers or recyclers to handle spoilage. It finally occurred to me to try inserting things in the acid pools, and now the whole planet is a lot less daunting.

I suggest adding a line to the briefing to tell players that waste can be voided in the acid pools, like in the Lava Processing page of the Vulcanus briefing: "It is possible to remove waste items by moving them directly into [Tile: Lava]."

its mentioned in the description for the acid tile

Ah, I see it now. I think it would help to include it in the briefing itself, but otherwise 👍
