4 weeks ago We already do this. Landfill does not emit pollution when covered by another layer. It might be that you have a large part of it under the water, which still emits pollution.
Issue description
This is not exactly a bug, but i think the game should award you with better numbers for landfill pollution management for the extra effort .
I did not like the look of landfills that appeared after waste was dumped in an area, so i came up with this trick to make my island look more aesthetically pleasing to look at.
First i assign a dumping zone with one level down from the shoreline, to dump all my trash into the ocean, while simultaneously expanding the size of the island. For E.g.. If the shoreline is at level 3 from the ocean, my initial dumping zone is set to dump till level 2.
Once the landfill is dumped with all allowed dump materials (usually, Rock, Waste, Slag & Dirt) I build a Mine control tower near the dump area and set the mine location to cover the extended part of island and set the filter on mine control tower to only dump Dirt which overrides the default global filter. Then i increase the dump level on the extended part of island by 1 to meet the shoreline level (in this case to 3)
Using this trick the trucks will Dump a layer of dirt over the landfill the look of the island improves as after some time grass grows back on the dirt making the expanded part of island look aesthetically pleasing.
Ideally this should also in some ways improve the Numbers for the landfill pollution as the landfill is now covered with a layer of Dirt and is no longer exposed. But that does not happen.
Reproduction steps
Assign a dumping zone with one level down from the shoreline, to dump all trash into the ocean. For E.g.. If the shoreline is at level 3 from the ocean, Initial dumping zone should be set to dump till level 2. Allowed dump materials can be default (usually, Rock, Waste, Slag & Dirt)
Once the landfill is dumped till level 2, Build a Mine control tower near the dump area and set the mine location to cover the extended part of island.
Set the filter on mine control tower to only dump Dirt which overrides the default global filter to default materials.
Increase the dump level on the extended part of island under mine control tower area by 1 to meet the shoreline level (in this case to 3)
The trucks will cover the ugly looking dump yard with Dirt which makes the island look more beautiful.
Managing dump this way should have a positive effect on the landfill pollution, i.e Landfill pollution should only apply to areas where we have an exposed landfill.
