Feature Request: Fecal Sludge Optimization

[rlancaster]

One of the things I like about this mod is that its balance. It brings strong benefits to plant work via irrigation and fertilization, but at the expense of managing additional colonist needs. However, for smaller colonies, the benefit of fertilization is harder to achieve "cleanly." Fertilization requires fecal sludge. With modern plumbing fixtures, the only way to collect fecal sludge is from a septic tank or by spilling it on the ground and cleaning it up after. For small colonies, however, the septic tank will process fecal sludge faster than colonists can produce it leaving only the spilling/cleaning method for obtaining fecal sludge.

I'd love to see an alternative to the septic tank as a collector. Perhaps a simple "waste tank" (unlocked by Plumbing research) that fills up via plumbing and can be configured to empty at a given level the way a septic tank can.

A higher tech option to automate biosolid production would be interesting too. Perhaps research that opens up an augmentation of or alternative to sewage treatment to allow for the production of biosolids directly by the facility at some rate governed by the amount of fecal sludge it is processing.
