Waste Processing

Description
NOTE: I'm no longer modding TKOM, so this mod won't work. Sorry!

---

This (incredibly simple) mod allows you to break down poop into useful stuff, like methane and water. You can also use it as a substitute of soil!

You need to take canisters of human waste and either put them in hydroponics labs, or on a materials processing station. If attached to a hydroponics lab, it will fill the lab to whatever level it needs. This is only for aesthetic purposes though, and does not provide any growing speed bonus. Also, Human Waste will function like any other splittable material, only it splits into its own unique constituent components.

Check out my other mods, too!

EDIT: Saint Anthony explains:

Step 1: Create and place toilet.
Step 2: Place an empty resource barrel on the back of the toilet.
Step 3: Sit on toilet. (You'll poop automatically.)
Step 4: Remove the no longer empty resource barrel. (Should now say human waste.)
Step 5: Place 4 empty resource barrels and your barrel of human waste on to the materials refinery. (Make sure to place them on the correct sides.)
Step 6: Select your empty barrels in the refinery menu and your barrel of human waste. The reaction should appear in the center of the menu. (Alternatively, you can find it in the reactions list directly. It should be at the bottom.) Hope that helps. :)

By-the-by, if people are having trouble using my mod with the recently released Ice Resource mod, Saint Anthony has merged the two to allow both to work without conflict. It can be found here:

causing errors in AddChemReaction and DestroyChemReactions when trying to save. So I disabled this and problems go away... except now no waste processing to begin the process of making fertile soil.

Question before I decide if I want to use the mod; does this make sure you can't poop too often? Based on your food input or a certain duration of time? And how many times does it take to fill the barrel up completely with waste?

So, I like the idea of this mod but right now, if I start a game with this loaded, any refinery that doesn't come loaded with the map (preloaded ones don't seem be be affected but ones I craft later are) the refinery screen will not be usable and the game is usually unable to save afterwards, resulting in a crash. I've tested this with the large refinery.

This mod causes the materials refinery to run without the need for power.
