About This File

Tired of never decaying trash heaps? Disappointed of other methods (meteors, volcanoes etc)? Then this mod might be for you!

Landfills are notorious for their slow decay rates. The remaining 2x2 garbage heap may take decades to decompose. Even worse, there is a known bug, causing anomalous-shaped trash heaps, like the ones in the pic. Such heaps actually never go away, as the trash "lots" are corrupted. WIth this mod (and possibly some additional steps), you can erase and dezone even such heaps.

The mod is very simple in its concept, it just sets the garbage decay rate to 100%. As a result all trash in landfills disappears and the landfill zones can be dezoned. In the case of irregularly-shaped trash heaps some few extra steps may be required.

Some players may be tempted to use this as a cheat, however the purpose of this mod wasn't this, it was to make it possible to easily get rid of the remaining 2x2 trash heap or the anomalous trash heaps. Install it, do your job and then uninstall it. It is also highly recommended that you backup your region before attempting erasing your landfills.

See the readme for details and tips.

Enjoy!

Thank you. This worked for me and my huge pile of irregular-shaped landfill. It took some playing around but this is how I finally got rid of the bugged pile of trash.

1. Install the mod.
2. Load the city and get rid of any trash destorying building you may have. Don't ship your trash to other cities as well. You want the game to think you'll have trash at the end of the month.
3. Surround your irregular-shaped landfill with new landfill tiles then build road access to the new landfill tiles.
4. Wait for the end fo the month (may take two). At the start of the month, you may noticed that some of the bugged trash pile has changed shape to a 2x2 pile. At this point, cut road access to the land fill and dezone all the landfill and wait for the new month again.
5. The new 2x2 landfill should disappear. Now, just surround the remaining bugged landfill again and give it road access. Raise and repeat untill all of the irregular-shaped landfills are gone.

Thank you again cogeo, this was a really annoying bug.

One solution I have found, Is to actually enlarge the landfill lot, so to make the small section in the middle, where it was then "digested". Before it was on the edge of the zone, then it became in the center (on another note, it had 0 mass, so it was just a pile sitting there, of basically nothingness)
