Contain Toxic Waste

Description
Who the heck stores toxic waste in plastic garbage bags?!??!
Of course they are gonna leak!!

This mod creates a method for sealing the waste in a thick steel canister to dramatically reduce the possibility of leaking waste and causing pollution.

How to Contain Toxic Waste
1. Research Waste Containment (available after Machining)
2. At the Machining Table select the new bill Contain Toxic Waste

It takes 5 Wastepacks + 40 steel to create a single Waste Canister.

For now, I put this recipe in the Machining Table... though perhaps it makes more sense to create a new workbench...

Thank you to Player1 for solving the wastepack popping issues!!

Open to suggestions for balancing and improvement!!! :)

Possible To-Dos:
-- Concentrate the waste into a useable product (like uranium).
-- A new power producing buiding that uses the waste containers as fuel

This is one of my all-time favorite Mods. I will be assuming direct control of this Mod and folding it into my work, with massive improvements and overhauls therein.

To my knowledge,. yes, although that is not intended behavior.

Looks like a nice idea, however 5 per containers seems a bit low. Especially in large/long playthroughs.

Can the containers be loaded onto a transport pod and sent out without any consequence?

Since this mod has been reported working in 1.5 I added it to the No Version Warning-mod

Damn I just installed it and yeah the idea is a cool idea but almost 600 years to decay with no option for recycling, dude that's fucked up I mean great mod effort of course always glad to have more mods around but what do I do with all these sealed canisters? damn son 600 years hahahahaha
Torres 4 Mar, 2023 @ 4:23am 
yeah but what do we do with this? can we safely store waste in this but then atomize it? does it at least naturally albeit slowly degrade so I can store it somewhere in a safe inside my base and forget about it?

@RowanSkie DEFINITELY. Let me explore adding this.
