Mass Transits and Recycling Centers

[WillJ]

Does anyone know exactly how much these improvements reduce pollution?

Mass transit system completely eliminates pollution do to pop above 12. Recycling center cuts pollution caused by improvements by 50% (if it's not that, it's very close)

BTW, did anybody know that Research Labs and Airport produce 1 pollution each?? it's not specified in the Civilopedia, but that's the fact. Also, offshore platforms produce 1 or 2 pollution, can't remember exactly.

Civilopedia sucks

mass transit i think completely eliminates pollution due to over-population, or at least 90% of it. you get a skull for every additional citizen above 12. as for the recycling center i rarely build them because they're just much better things to research during the modern age.

I meant THERE ARE much better things (than recycling) to research during the modern age...pardon the misspelling.

Nobody got it right .

Mass transit reduce pollution cause by overpopulation to 1 .

Recycling center reduce pollution cause by city improvement to 1.

So if you have both, you will never have more than 2 pollution skull per city ( look into city display to see those skull).

Impossible, you either miss mass transit or recycling, look carefully.

I had a city with ;hospital (size 21) ,factory,nuclear plant, manufacturing plant, it give me 147 shiled per turn ( city with forbiden palace) and i had no more than 2 pollution skull per city( not pollution strike, it s not the same).

A metropolis with only 2 pollution skull doesnt pollute too much, once in a while.

nah, its all built. doesnt matter though, as long as those cities dont pollute (which they dont, btw).

But if you want to built modern era improvment ( like research lab, offshore plateform, airport, fatory, which all increase pollution) then you need to built the recycling center.

My metropolis never have more than 2 pollution skull and with only 24 worker i can clean it in 1 turn.
