	The [[biochamber]] "generates" negative pollution, at a base rate of -1 per minute. This effectively means that the building removes pollution while active.		The [[biochamber]] "generates" negative pollution, at a base rate of -1 per minute. This effectively means that the building removes pollution while active.

	This pollution value works like any other building, including how it scales with energy consumption. That is, if a module ~~affects~~ its energy consumption, the pollution is proportionately higher as well. However, because the base rate is negative, the Biochamber "~~generates~~" more negative pollution. [[Productivity module]]s and their direct pollution increase work in a similar way, boosting the negative pollution of the building even more.

If the total pollution in a chunk is above 60 units, once per second some of the trees in that chunk each have a chance to either lose one stage of leaves (33% or 50% damage) or have their leaves become one stage more gray (6.7% damage).

	A tree stops losing leaves/becoming more gray once the sum of its gray percentage and its leaves lost percentage is above 120%. ~~50%~~ of trees stop their leaf progression one stage earlier. As the grayness and leaf stage are then locked for that tree forever, it is possible for trees to keep some leaves in heavily polluted chunks but in turn be very gray, or the other way around.<br>		A tree stops losing leaves/becoming more gray once the sum of its gray percentage and its leaves lost percentage is above 120%.
