Waste Filter
Treats raw sewage.
Notes
The Waste Filter is a placed 3×3×3 object that treats raw sewage, converting it into less harmful byproducts. It can be toggled on and off like other industrial machines, and must be placed grid-aligned in your settlement's infrastructure. To minimize ground and water pollution, set up Waste Filters near high-output sewage sources and keep them powered and running as your population grows.
