so how the heck does sewage actually work?
i have a fresh water pipe and a sewage pipe going to a toilet but they just end up connecting and it will complain it doesn't have "sewage capacity"

I had no idea there was a sewerage pipe. I just connected a normal pipe and the sewerage gets ejected into a small body of water from a toilet on the same water pipe.

It doesn't have capacity because you haven't connected either a septic tank or a sewage processing building. If you don't have the research for those yet, just do what Kanedogg said and put a sewage outflow somewhere. Doesn't need to be a river, any tile will work. You'll sometimes need to use the clean sewage function like this, since it'll build up pretty quickly.

I can't find the clean sewage function, only clean pollution. Is it the same?
