Electric powered stove pollution?

[Erke]

Campfire, Kiln, Bloomery, Cast Iron Stove, Bakery Oven won't cause any air pollution but Electric Stove does?

The air pollution component currently only works for workbenches that have a pipe connection and hasn't been finished for all of those that have which leads to this behaviour that indeed is on our list to polish up.

Nice to hear Dennis...
When you finally introduce air pollution for others I mentioned as well, I believe that'll definetly be a game changer and throw a lot of things off balance..

In my custom game for example I tried so hard to progress as far as I can without emitting any pollution what so ever.
When we eventually find ourselves causing pollution starting with campfire, I assume it'll change all the perspective.

I hope you guys create a fine balance between tiers. Thank you for your answer.

On a side note: As it's common knowledge, certain amounts of Co2 actually help plant and folliage growth. I haven't noticed any clear distinction between Co2 and actual pollution (chemicals, waste, toxic fumes etc.) in current version of the game.
Is it implemented in the background? Meaning Co2 fastens tree/plant growth?
If not, is something similar in your roadmaps?

I'd be fine that campfires cause air pollution, but the devs should first add the campfire recipes to the stove and/or kitchen. Same with cooking and baking recipes being moved from the cast iron stove and bakery oven.

I've had the game for years and, if memory serves, campfires used to produce small amounts of air pollution once. It's been a long time though so I could be mistaken. If they did choose to remove that I'm sure they probably did it for optimization since a campfire would produce minimal amounts of emissions.
