I haven't played with it since right after Biotech came out. What are some current strategies for managing pollution these days? Particularly if you go heavy on mechs.

I currently have a big frozen warehouse with 2 dematerializers. All on a switch so I can shut it down when not needed.

Prior to getting that I was just pod dumping the enemy bases. i suggest doing this with primitives.

Do not dump on wasters. I thought they'd love it. They sent back double what I sent them.

To add to this you can caravan it away as well which is less costly but more annoying.

I usually keep it frozen until I got enough tech and materials to build an atomiser. It takes little freezer space, as long as you reduce bot usage (I use mostly lifters and cleansweepers), but that depends a lot on colony size and playstyle.

Another alternative is to fill transport pods with the wastepacks and dump them far away. Preferably in the sea, and far away from any other settlement. If you must anger someone with the dumping, then it should be either a faction that you want to keep hostile towards you (hello imps! Thanks for the leather and meat) or one that is really easy to keep happy (because e.g. you keep trading with them).

I thought the drop pod launcher didn't let you select sea tiles.

If you dump it in the sea, does it still pollute the area around it?

I just dump it in the river, seems to stop those raids that spawn on toxified land
