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. One can plant a Lantern Fruit in an Indoor Growbed or a Plant Pot. Lantern Fruits can be collected by plucking them from the Lantern Tree’s branches.

It is also useful for disposing of any excess or spoiled flora and fauna that the player has no more need of. Location: Delta Island Marguerit’s Greenhouse Lantern Tree The Lantern Tree is a rare, terrestrial flora species. 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. 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. It can break down any organic matter into reliable energy for Seabases. It has a 4×4 inventory grid to place organic items into, and items placed inside it cannot be removed once placed. During early development of Below Zero there were plans for a Hovercraft, which had concept art and even a working prototype, however it was scrapped long before Below Zero went into Early Access.The Bioreactor is constructed with the Habitat Builder and composts organic matter into Energy.

However it can't be docked in Moonpools and will appear as a very bright white with the name "Placeholder". All of it's upgrade modules can also be spawned in with console commands as well.
