Pollution Smoke
Adds visible smoke emitters to your machines, scaled to their actual pollution output. The more polluting your factory is, the more it shows.
Pairs beautifully with Pollution: Impactful Smog, which adds a factory-wide smog cloud based on chunk pollution levels. That mod gives you the atmosphere; this one shows you exactly which machines are responsible for it. Together they make pollution feel genuinely impactful.
Features
- Smoke intensity scales across 10 tiers based on real-time emissions per minute
- Fully module-aware — total consumption and pollution effects are sampled live, so any combination of modules and beacons is reflected automatically
- Accurately reflects partial utilization (a foundry running 70% of the time shows 70% smoke)
- Chimney smoke for machines with defined chimney positions; body smoke for everything else
- Setting to show chimney smoke, body smoke, or both
- LOD system: only machines near connected players are updated, keeping UPS impact minimal
- Works with modded machines of any type and size — chimney smoke positions for modded machines can be requested on the mod portal
