Hello everyone, currently digging into the source code and experimenting a bit modding your game. 

I posted that on your discord yesterday but here I go : 

Your endgame pollution threshold is completely unbalanced. 

As a reminder the formula is basically MapSizeBudget ( PollutionDefinition.EndGamePollutionThreshold ) * MapSizeFactor ( WorldAtmosphere.WorldSizeFactor.Value ) 

And digging I found out that that is the repartition on normal speed of the EndGamePollutionThreshold in the PollutionManager Script : 

As you can see the designer probably overlooked a detail here I get what the person tried to do but that result to inconsistents values depending on the nuber of player recomanded map by map

Note : WorldSizeFactor --> is mapRatioIngame in the sheet & the base budget is the EndGamePollutionThreshold depending on the game speed, here : normal speed value : 20k the problem is even worse with other speeds

Assuming the 5k pollution budget per player the map ratio in the DB should be (mapRatioIngame column) :

And there you will have a consistent pollution budget depending on the number of players on the map. 


For thoose who wonder why some game end so fast due to pollution, here you got the reason :D 

PS : made a bepinex mod allowing for customization of thoose parameters if anyone is interested, let me know and i'll put it anywhere needed :) 

Very nice!  Thanks a million for this. I found your bepinex mod on mod.io. I will be using it to normalize the pollution settings on my next playthrough. Thanks again.
