Hey there,
yes, it is working as intended with 0.17.x. Those are deprecation warnings, which will soon be a problem of mine :D I will keep the mod updated to keep working as the devs make updates to the base game.
The machines actually filter pollution as follows:
MK1: 12/tick
MK2: 84/tick
MK3: 1500/tick
For example a mining drill produces 9 pollution (as stated in the entitiy information when hovering a built one). One MK1-Filtering Machine will be enough to completely remove the pollution created.
I hope this helps you for now. If you have further questions, go ahead :)
Greetings,
Schorty
