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.

A biogenerator produces items out of Biomass. The items it can make are sorted into categories.
A biogenerator produces items out of Biomass. The items it can make are sorted into three categories, Food, Botany Chemicals, and Organic Materials.

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 [[Watermelon]]<nowiki/>s or [[Pumpkin]]<nowiki/>s. 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.

Any plant produce can be used, even if it doesn't have nutriment, but nutriment is the most efficient.

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