But even if better sources are available, it still provides easy additional energy for demanding seabases. Thanks to its low costs and easily renewable fuel it is perfectly suited to power outposts with low power devices like a Battery Charger or Power Cell Charger, especially if the area lacks the requirements for both Solar Panels and Thermal Plants. Egg-hatched fish in particular provide the most energy. It is also useful for disposing of any excess or spoiled flora and fauna that the player has no more need of. Great in the late game for charging a bunch of power cells.

It is also easy to supply a Bioreactor with fuel if one keeps an Exterior Growbed, Interior Growbed or Alien Containment full of fish nearby. So in conclusion, i would rather recommend using bioreactors, just because they are the safest, and the most simple, nuclear reactors are also good but it really matters of what you think is best. It does not affect power in creative mode.īioreactors work well in biomes where organic matter is plentiful, such as Kelp Forests or Mushroom Forests, where Solar Panels may be less efficient. It can only be placed in the centers of a Multipurpose Room or Large Room. The Bioreactor produces 1 energy every 1.2 seconds (50 per minute) with a maximum capacity of 500 units per Bioreactor. If reactor rods could be used as an alternative inside of the cyclops or had some other application, then it might be more attractive. It can break down any organic matter into reliable energy for Seabases. Nuclear reactor rods in general are irritating due to the fact that theyre basically bioreactors which. It has a 4×4 inventory grid to place organic items into, and items placed inside it cannot be removed once placed. The Bioreactor is constructed with the Habitat Builder and composts organic matter into Energy.
