The bio-generator makes items out of the nutriment in plants, such as watermelons and pumpkins which have a 20% nutriment boost trait. To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it then put your harvest plants inside. Open its interface and process the plants. If you somehow run out of nutriment in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard nutriments here. You can recycle any plant, though if they don't have nutriment like bananas, the efficiency is very low.

Biogenerator

A biogenerator produces items out of Biomass. The items it can make are sorted into categories.

Making Biomass

To produce biomass, you must first put a reagent container in the biogenerator. This can be a beaker, a bucket, a bottle, even a paper cup. Once there's a container inside, put in any produce that contains nutriment, such as Watermelons or Pumpkins. This can be done with a plant bag to speed up putting in lots of produce. Then press the Process button at the top right of the UI and wait for the machine to finish converting food into Biomass.

Using Biomass

Once your biogenerator contains Biomass, you can spend it to produce items. You may produce:

Item Type Biomass Cost
10 units of Milk Food 20
10 units of Cream Food 30
Milk Carton Food 100
Cream Carton Food 300
10 units of Black Pepper Food 25

All items can be produced between 1 and 10 at a time.

Upgrades:

An upgraded Biogenerator has a higher maximum capacity for biomass, and can produce items at a discount. while also generating biomass more efficiently.

The parts that matter to upgrade in a biogenerator are:

  • Matter Bins, which dictate the maximum amount of Biomass it can hold
  • and Manipulators, which dictate how efficiently it processes food into biomass.
