Sulfur is a semi-processed resource used in the production of Rubber, Acid and Fertilizer II. The only Sulfur sources on the island are as the byproducts of the processing of Sour Water and Exhaust scrubbing. An unlimited amount of Sulfur is also available by assigning Workers to a repaired Sulfur Mine and transporting it back to a Cargo Depot via Cargo Ship.

Excess Sulfur

Before processing reasonable amounts of Fertilizer I into Fertilizer II, the amount of Sulfur produced as a byproduct will exceed the requirement for production of Rubber and Acid, necessitating disposal the excess to prevent a stoppage of Crude Oil refining arrays. Available solutions include:
