Polluting Launches

Rockets are massive, fiery machines of absolute logistics power—so why do they launch cleanly without harming the local ecosystem? Not anymore.

This mod adds real environmental consequences to space exploration. Every rocket launched from a silo emits a massive, immediate burst of industrial pollution directly into the atmosphere. To protect your factory from massive biter evolutions, you must invest in automated eco-solutions.

Features

• Environmental Impact: Launching a rocket drops a baseline of 10,000 pollution units directly onto your launch pad.
• Dynamic Visual Smoke Trails: Rockets now spew a massive, thick trail of industrial soot as they ascend into the atmosphere.
• Progression & Technology: Research Cleaner Rocket Exhaust (4 upgrade tiers) to drop your emissions. Each level reduces both the pollution spike and the visual smoke density by 20%.
• Cross-Compatible: Fully supports both Vanilla Factorio 2.0 and the Space Age expansion!

For the ultimate industrial atmosphere, pair this with Pollution Smoke! While this mod adds massive environmental spikes to your space program, Pollution Smoke makes your entire base visually reflect its carbon footprint, rendering heavy clouds over highly polluted areas.
