Pollution is now distributed by wind. Pleasant to use with mods that add more extreme weather conditions.
The multiplier in the options menu directly changes how much wind affects pollution.

When running on existing bases may cause rampant biter attacks as pollution clouds are suddenly blown to them.

Careful: on large maps this may cause slow-downs.
