Heavy Mineral Decontaminant
Mineral binder that immobilizes heavy-metal contamination ? the only way down once a claim passes the self-cleaning ceiling. Apply it to any ground or built block on a claim: one unit cancels one unit of Heavy Mineral Pollution source, and half of the decontaminant waiting on an area takes effect every 24 hours.
Notes
Heavy Mineral Decontaminant is a crafted tool item used to neutralize heavy mineral ground pollution on a claim after pollution has exceeded what natural self-cleaning can handle. Each unit directly cancels one unit of Heavy Mineral Pollution from a ground or built block, with half of the applied decontaminant taking effect every 24 hours. As a practical tip, you should stockpile this for treating pollution around mines or tailings storage, where heavy mineral contamination from ore processing accumulates the fastest.
