Currently, pollution scrubbers can accept turbines.

If they shouldn't be automateable, they shouldn't be allowed to receive items

It's not intended behaviour?..

I don't see anything wrong with this. They eat through turbines like crazy anyway!!! :)

My comment was sarcastic :D yea probably not intended but it’s very expensive to set up and run even if automated with the turbine durability :)

Wouldn't call it expensive. Unless one would run the scrubber without a pollution detector, but who'd do that.
