RecipeOutputs = Waste,1.3,True,WasteWater,2.1,True,CarbonDioxide,42,True
RequiredResources = CivilianPopulation,0
EfficiencyBonus = .00000462962962962963 //1 kerbin day
ConverterName = Civilians
into all corresponding files...and success...(i don't know if the last line is needed, and i added the "special-bonuses"-lines to...
