just set your storage empty slider in the middle and the trucks will dump it

Slag disposal is a big problem. It's used as a filler in a few places, such as roadbeds and cement or ceramics. At some point it would make sense to add those sorts of processes. It's very bad to dump in in the wild, as arsenic and other toxic minerals will leach out.

Not sure why this isn't marked as "Done" -- it's been implemented in the Beta.

The real issue here is that too much slag is being created during the process. They need to cut back on the amount of slag created by about 75%. So many trucks are busy removing slag that i have hard time getting iron, copper, and coal loaded to keep production moving.

Agreed that it's weird that this isn't marked as done, as there's already a recipe for crushed slag that's used for concrete.
