how to get rid of urine containers?
So one of my guys couldnt hold it, and made a mess all over the floor. I cleaned it up with the scrubber, but every spot that had the mess, now has a bottle filled with urine. I cant move these, or do anything with them it seems. They emite fumes that are bad to breath. Do I get more options later for dealing with these bottles of unplesantness?

Bottle dumper or if your smart, have your hatches eat it for easy coal. I did the lateral since it removes germs without waiting for it to die or require ore scrubber.

Build a bottle emptier or two and switch them to auto empty and switch preferences on the object to just polluted water. Make sure they dump into a pit or water will get everywhere.

The main problem with them is that you can't store them (and therefore can't move them) unless you have a bottle emptier for them. Later on, I believe there might be a couple of plants that will accept polluted water for irrigation, so it might be possible to switch to letting the derps dump the polluted water on those. I'm not sure though, because my games seem to consistently crash right around the point where I start feeling ready to tunnel into the slime biome. But clicking on the reeds says that they'll accept polluted water, at least.

I've started three or four new games since Outbreak was released, two reached a point where they just crash over and over at around the same cycle, and the other two ended when everyone died. Once from suffocation, because they decided they were too busy spazzing out and jumping in and out of the last little patch of pure oxygen to refil the deoxydizers, even on Red Alert. And once when every derp decided to have food poisoning at the same time just as they ran low on food, and were again too busy ignoring me to allow me to fix it.

polluted water + fertilser maker = natural gas
natural gas = power

Currently, I have a bottle emptier dumping polluted water from random messes and wash basin fill-ups into a 2x2 hole, where a liquid pump stands ready to shunt it into a water purifier on the next floor down. Two air deodorizers bracket the hole (mesh tiles are awesome for this as they can sit on top and liquid still falls through) to catch any and all polluted oxygen that leaks out. The only thing I have to be wary of is LOT to funnel the "cleaned" water back into my water cisterns, because the Water Purifier does not remove all the germs, only some. Dumping the newly-purified water into the cistern FILLS it with germs, which quickly get into my air supply and get breathed in by passing dupes. I'm gonna have to seal that cistern off until the germs all die, and find a new source of water until then, and run my pipe to feed back into my main pump line to my toilets instead of releasing into my cistern.
