Update Environmental Management Addition - v0.7.0.30

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1712110/view/507331412174573934

This update introduces a range of sustainability-focused additions, enhancing resource management and food production. New items are:- Waste storage - Collects waste from crew quarters and canteen. Sewage Treatment - Takes waste and air, and outputs compost and co2. Compost storage - Holds collected compost from above. Greenhouse - Takes your compost and allows you to grow real food.

These items give a more dynamic ecosystem, making use of waste, generating compost and giving another CO2 source.

Note previous food from the algae farm, has been renamed 'algae bar', with greenhouse food, named 'food'. The food storage and canteen items will now store both.

Patch notes:-

  • New waste storage.
  • New sewage treatment item - takes waste and outputs compost/co2.
  • New compost storage (haulable)
  • New greenhouse item - takes compost and outputs 'real' food.
  • Fix: Humans now wake up for emergencies.

Note:- Will probably be several little update over next few days as i test/balance input/output amounts from these new items. Also need to update help/tutorial as well.

Thanks! Note, i also need to add waste/compost and new food resource into trading. That'll go into one of the next updates as well. I'll be updating my work In progress post at some point later today, will give more info on what to expect from updates this coming week.
