Pollution Reclamation is a Factorio 2.1 mod that turns pollution into something you manage rather than only minimise: capture it from the air as a fluid, vent it somewhere else, or trap it in filters.
Mods introducing new content into the game.
Version: 0.2.0
Date: 2026.09.19
Features:
- Added the pollution condenser, which scrubs pollution out of the air around it into polluted water. It only runs where the air is actually polluted.
- Added the pollution vaporizer, which evaporates polluted water back into the air wherever it is placed, moving the biter attacks that pollution draws.
- Added the pollution sensor, which reads how much pollution sits in the chunk it stands in, shows it as a status line, and puts it on the circuit network on a signal of your choice.
- Added solvent, made from sulfuric acid and light oil, and pollution filter restoration, which restores used filters with it in a chemical plant.
- Added the Pollution sensing, Pollution control, Pollution filtering and Pollution filter restoration technologies, running from radar through to advanced oil processing.
Graphics:
- New placeholder icons for the filters, filtering, restoration, solvent and every technology, replacing the inherited Krastorio 2 art. The pollution sensor has placeholder art of its own. All of it is provisional and may be replaced.
Optimizations:
- Pollution is now checked once per chunk rather than once per building, so large numbers of condensers are re-checked far more promptly.
Changes:
- The air purifier building is removed. Pollution filtering now runs in Assembler 2 and 3 on polluted water from pollution condensers, and returns the water.
- Pollution filters cost 2 coal, 2 iron, 1 steel and 2 plastic in all games, and are named "Pollution filter".
- Pollution condensers sharing a chunk now need that chunk's pollution to cover all of them, so a crowded chunk stops together instead of producing polluted water it cannot back.
- Pollution control now requires Pollution sensing as well as Fluid handling, so a chunk can always be read before anything is built to act on one.
- The improved filter tier and the two efficiency startup settings are removed, to be redesigned later.
Locale:
- Removed the French translation for now. The mod is English only until translations from fluent speakers return; see CONTRIBUTING.md.
Version: 0.1.1
Date: 2026.08.25
Bugfixes:
- Stopped registering the Gleba spore efficiency startup setting when Space Age is absent. Its only consumer was already gated on Space Age, so a base-game player was shown a setting naming a planet they do not have, wired to nothing.
Version: 0.1.0
Date: 2026.08.13
Changes:
- Continued as an independent mod, renamed to Pollution Reclamation, after KrastorioAirPurifier had no public source repository to contribute a Factorio 2.1 update to.
- Updated factorio_version to 2.1.
- Renamed internal prototypes, items, recipes, technologies, and settings under a pr_ namespace prefix.
- No gameplay changes from KrastorioAirPurifier 1.2.2. Full prior history is preserved at https://mods.factorio.com/mod/KrastorioAirPurifier.
