In other words, if you think about it, how important is this really even for new players? Pollution spreads slowly, and trees absorb a lot of pollution and they are everywhere. But early game, they won't be generating enough pollution to be a big issue. The second thing is biter attacks from pollution. Both are part of the game and they will have to deal with this regardless. First, more goods will be produced, which isn't a bad thing, or the player will run out of resources stored in buffer chests etc and their factory will shut down. There are only two things that can really happen by letting the factory run. Granted it has some advantage under some situations, but new player's factories won't be producing much for it to matter. I'm fine with an option (as I suggested), as long as it's saved and I don't have to set it every time I play or start a new game.Īlso, I don't think pausing for new players is as important as you may think. Default setting must be to pause though.ĭoing anything else would be incredibly hostile to any player who hasn't yet burned the research tree into his subconscious.
