#Subnautica bioreactor full

I only use them as sor of a backup generator. To be honest, i find bioreactors annoying because you have to fill them up sooner or later (they are not self sustaining like say a thermal plant). But he specifically mentioned he dint want to use fish. But you're still stopping to refill the thing when it runs out of fuel six times as often, or more. 'I can plant it right next to the reactor!'. It only sounds convenient on the surface.

They have one of the highest energy outputs of indoor plants, you can put 2 or 3 plants in pots in the same room as the reactor, plus you can eat them too! Refer back to 'A reactor full of 420 value plant samples? Enjoy only 1.680 energy compared to 6,000 and up from fish' Originally posted by Benzin:Bulb tree pieces are a very good fuel source. You could never dip below 1,000 spare power, and your bio reactor will still eventually get drained empty. If a power source is anything less than at 100% capacity for so much as an instant, the power grid skims off the top of any other availble power source. Because of the odd power mechanics that skim off the top of your bio reactor, even when you have 5 thermal plants and a dozen solar panels, even if you build the bio reactor last. A melon is worth 42 objects fabricated after all.īut you'll feel it for any base that sees real use. You won't notice it as much in a little baby outposts where all you do is fabricate the occasional item. That said, the output will always be a slow as hell 'roughly 25 energy per minute' So the only difference is how often you have to replace your fuel, rather than how fast you get energy in the first place.Īlso, does it consume all biomatter at the same rate, or does some stuff last longer than others? Bulb tree pieces are a very good fuel source. People bragging about how easy it is to use gelsacks, still have to go outside to harvest and replant them, then come back into their base to put them in the reactor (and they are still worth less energy than fish). A full tank of peepers while also since nerfed, is still 6,720 energy.

While eddible fish are 1 tile on top of being worth more.ĮDIT: I forgot they nerfed the energy values of Melons and Lanternfruits, haha. Because whether it's melons or lantern fruit they are still huge 2x2 objects, so you can only fit four ot them in the reactor. Even peepers are worth about six times as much. People bragging about using melons are only getting a fraction of the energy energy on a full tank.

Least space for most energy.Įven the best plants and misc items that people will brag about shoving into their bio reactor, mean they have to stop and refill it six times as often, or more. Any other small items that are easy to collect that makes a good fuel for it?Īlso, does it consume all biomatter at the same rate, or does some stuff last longer than others? Edible fish is the most efficient fuel. I haven't wanted to feed it fish since I eat those. I've been using membrain tree seeds since there's lots of them near my base, but they take up a lot of inventory space each. Originally posted by Bubba Fett:What's the best fuel for the bio reactor?
