Improvements

Improved woodcutters

[hr][/hr]
[hr][/hr]

• Woodcutters now plant their own trees at a slow rate. [one tree every 4h]
• Their production depends on the number of adult trees. A tree takes close to 4h to become an adult.
• Placing a woodcutters hut close to already existing trees gives a boost to the building as it uses them as adult trees.
• When woodcutter's huts are destroyed, their trees stay on the moon.
• Woodcutter maximum productivity depends on the free space around them, when building the expected efficiency is displayed.

New pollution system

[hr][/hr]
[hr][/hr]

• Pollution levels rise depending on the ratio between produced pollution (buildings + citizens) and dissipation (trees and pollution scrubbers)
• A saturation system is used for pollution, which means that the higher the pollution is, the harder it becomes for it to increase.
• Abundant trees on a moon result in a better dissipation value.
