Improvements
Improved woodcutters
<*>Woodcutters now plant their own trees at a slow rate. [one tree every 4h] <*>Their production depends on the number of adult trees. A tree takes close to 4h to become an adult. <*>Placing a woodcutter’s hut close to already existing trees gives a boost to the building as it uses them as adult trees. <*>When woodcutter's huts are destroyed, their trees stay on the moon. <*>Woodcutter maximum productivity depends on the free space around them, when building the expected efficiency is displayed.

New pollution system
<*>Pollution levels rise depending on the ratio between produced pollution (buildings + citizens) and dissipation (trees and pollution scrubbers) <*>A saturation system is used for pollution, which means that the higher the pollution is, the harder it becomes for it to increase. <*>Abundant trees on a moon result in a better dissipation value.
Pollution will impact the moon's look
<*>Pollution has a visible impact on the moons. If it rises too high, dirt will appear on the ground and buildings.

<*>Citizens become angry and consume from 80% to 200% of their normal rate depending on their happiness (which is directly linked to the moon's pollution).
<*>Buildings will be less efficient when pollution is high and citizens are unhappy. This penalty can go up to 50%.
