Storage Improvement

Is anyone doing studies on the pollution effects of storage improvement? I haven't picked up storage improvement 3 yet, but with 2 I'm warned that increasing the storage capabilities of my warehouse will cause some minor pollution. Has anyone tried to determine how much or how long or what exactly it effects? --AmisiBastet 16:56, 24 April 2009 (EST)

Quit the accusations

Can we PLEASE quit all of the accusations, hasty bill-making, and so on? E! has been absolutely laden with drama over pollution. One person even declared this telling, "unplayable." Get a grip, and approach the problem logically, please. Do mines cause pollution? We don't know. Is there any evidence that mines cause pollution? None has been presented yet. Historically, it's not the MINES that cause pollution - it's the smelting of the ore that causes pollution. It stands to reason that processes that give off smoke (firepits, charcoal ovens, smelting pots, Raeli ovens, etc.) could possibly cause pollution. -Unknown

Don't point fingers

For the people pointing fingers - you really need to test this before you start snarling at your neighbors. Take something that you think causes pollution, and isolate it - take it far out in the desert, where there's nothing else nearby, and do it. After a few days, you should have your answer - either it does pollute, or it doesn't. Going off half-cocked because of the state of areas around Chariot Stops does not help in any way. --Nekojin 12:42, 22 December 2008 (EST)

I think Mines...

Mines appear to cause pollution, even without smelting. 80/100 tadpoles are dying in an area with one mine and no other facilities within 100 coords --Zerda 19:49, 22 December 2008 (EST)

Flax growth and...

The suggestion is that flax growth is affected by being over an ore vein - there is no mention of whether or not mines are located on that vein. If there are not and it is simply the presence of ore causing flax growing issues, then surely we have an aide to dowsing in areas where there are no other polluting factors... Duncan 30 December 2008

Clinker

In t3, clinker produced pollution. But not where it got dumped. It would produce pollution many coordinates south east of where it was dumped. Here's the T3 page on it. http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale3/Pollution
