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 growns 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. | The bio-generator makes items out of the nutriment in plants, such as watermelons and pumpkins which have a 20% nutriment boost trait.

=== DNA Extractor === | |||
Note: Sometimes these don't appear in outdated maps, if this is the case, you can adminhelp and see if they will put one if they are nice | |||
A recent addition, this allows you to extract genes and stats from seeds. This is a very useful machine for mass producing plants, saving time and is super easy. | |||
How to use | |||
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks | |||
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice | |||
3. Extract seeds to the disk (seed will be destroyed) or extract a gene | |||
4. Put in another seed | |||
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's in the plant data disk | |||
Useful seeds for maxing production | |||
* On some maps, there's wheat on the table, this wheat has 50 potency and 1 production speed | |||
* Treecaps have naturally high endurance and resistance and 50 potency | |||
* The tobacco in the seed vendor has 10 yield | |||
* The wheat in the seed vendor has 1 production speed | |||

* Radium and Uranium: Same chance to mutate plants, but you need 10 units, they also damage the plant and add toxicity. | * Radium and Uranium: Same chance to mutate plants, but you need 10 units, they also damage the plant and add toxicity. | ||
* Saltpeter: Ask the chemists for this, this increases potency and has a chance to increase yield as well | |||

* You can speed up the process by asking the [[chemist]] for some '''unstable mutagen'''. The effects of mutagen depend on how much you use. Best applied after transferring it to an empty fertiliser bottle, for greater control over amount used (Right-click > Set transfer amount).
