# Panels
Put Air Scrubbers side by side on the same axis and the whole connected group is now one machine any shape, 2x2 or 3x3 or 5x5 or a long strip.
Output scales with member count: 2x2 cleans 4x, 3x3 cleans 9x, 5x5 cleans 25x. So does stress: 8 SU per member, so a 5x5 draws 200 SU.
At 25 members the panel reaches up into the cloud layer, as the old 5x5 array did. Panels ride contraptions.
A wall of scrubbers on a train counts its members from the contraption itself, so a 5x5 on a locomotive cleans like a 5x5 on the ground.
This replaces the "flat 5x5 promotes the middle block" rule, which needed 25 cartridges fed separately.
# Aerometer
Hold it and a readout appears over the hotbar
Readings are now pushed to the client under either pollution engine, so it works with Pollution of the Realms installed and on multiplayer.
Crafted from a glass pane, three brass sheets and an electron tube.
# Gameplay
4 Soot + string → Filter Medium, which crafts Filter Cartridges four at a time and without wool. 6 Soot → Graphite in a Basin under a Mechanical Press. Burns 3200 ticks, twice a coal. The Precision Filter Cartridge now needs 2 Graphite alongside its electron tubes, so the best filter in the mod cannot be built without cleaning something first.
# KubeJS
Ships a KubeJS plugin with a Smog binding:
Smog.engine() // which pollution model is running
Smog.get(level, pos) // reading at a position
Smog.tier(level, pos) // "clean" ... "toxic"
Smog.add(level, pos, 500) // plus set(), clean(), relieve(entity, budget)
Emitters can also be added through the block tag #smog:polluting with no Java at all.
## Fixes
Filter wear no longer resets. Cartridges stack again, which had quietly broken the recipes that yield more than one. Balance Air Scrubber base rate 12 → 24 per second. Pollution of the Realms mode: gas search radius 5 → 7, rate multiplier 8 → 12.
