5 years ago Just to add more clarification, the 2weeks was in game time and more clarification, area's that didn't have players but lava pits out in the open air also caused areas to be polluted. any form of pollution regardless of man-made or natural would cause whole areas to not be playable within a matter of days in game, 2 weeks was basically had to reload a save prior or I started a new world to test because no matter how far i travels no matter where you want acid rain and death everywhere.
The default values make a Minecraft server unplayable after a few days of using the mod. after about 2 weeks the effects of the pollution are not reversible.
I've tried tweaking all the values of things that generate pollution by lowering all the values to only 2digits so items are below 100(usually below 50), and I've gone an increased pollution reduction items to well over 400 in value and it seems like no matter what, pollution generates way to fast and items that reduce pollution seem to do nothing.
I have tested spawning several worlds testing new configs, but roughly after 2 weeks logging back in means your going to die within less than a minute because the pollution levels are so bad. The last world I deleted I spawned near a village, there were probably a total of 3 furnaces nothing in them along with the village torches. took around 2 weeks of not logging back into the server for the world to be so polluted. the village was next to a huge forest. I have other mods such as forestry, Autoplant, dynamic trees, Natura ect.. that provide automation with trees and it doesn't seem to help or this mod only takes into account certain tree types/mods.
i have even gon as far as increasing the values of the pollution tiers that affect the world as a whole like when you cant plant crops anymore and when animals die and what not, i 1st added one 0, then tried two 00's to the end of each tier. does not seem like it makes a difference.
another issue is, the documentation is lacking info in terms of exactly what is needed to make what. i had 3 other people try and make the items needed for the pollution filter and advanced and we couldn't seem to get to work. it took us several days to figure out exactly what items could power and what tubes to use. another issue is when the filters fill up we cant remove the waste. we managed to get it to work once but after a server reboot, the filter stopped transferring its waste.
