Pollution Absorber: Improved 1.0.0

Pollution Absorber: Improved is a fork of yanhanv's Pollution Absorber with cached sampling positions, fewer repeated pollution-chunk checks, and a one-time load callback instead of a permanent per-tick callback. Original absorption behavior and entity identifiers are retained.

Factorio 2.0.77 comparison with 35 absorbers (33 with energy): median absorption update fell from 1.56–1.58 ms to 0.38–0.41 ms. This measures the mod's periodic script update, not overall game performance. Pollution totals matched at every save-comparison checkpoint; 280 additional comparisons passed within floating-point rounding.

Disable the original Pollution Absorber and enable this fork. Tests, logs and save files are excluded from the release.
