Biochamber

The biochamber is a Gleba-era production building with a broad recipe set, many of which are exclusive to it or shared only with Gleba-related production. It is used to process local biological materials into intermediate goods, and it also serves as the main building for several unique biological and spoilage-based recipes.

Nutrients are a central part of its operation: they are required both as fuel for the biochamber and as an ingredient in several recipes, including artificial soil production. The building can also produce nutrients from multiple sources, such as yumako mash, bioflux, spoilage, fish, and biter eggs, making it a key conversion point in the biological production chain.

Its recipe pool includes:

• Yumako processing, which turns yumako into yumako seed and yumako mash.
• Jellynut processing, which turns jellynut into jellynut seed and jelly.
• Bioflux production from yumako mash and jelly.
• Pentapod egg and Agricultural science pack production, both tied to Gleba.
• Iron bacteria and copper bacteria production, plus their cultivation recipes using bioflux.
• Fish breeding, which returns raw fish and is available from the biochamber or chemical plant.

The biochamber is also used for several stable products that are unaffected by spoilage:

• Carbon fiber from carbon and yumako mash.
• Rocket fuel from jelly, and also a separate rocket fuel recipe from solid fuel and light oil.
• Biolubricant from jelly.
• Bioplastic from bioflux and yumako mash.
• Biosulfur from spoilage and bioflux.
• Burnt spoilage, which converts spoilage into carbon.
• Heavy oil cracking to light oil and light oil cracking to petroleum gas, both as chemical plant recipes.
• Wood processing into tree seeds, which is available on Nauvis.

Because so many of its outputs are biological intermediates, the biochamber is a major bridge between food-like raw materials, nutrient generation, and advanced Gleba manufacturing. It is especially important for maintaining closed loops: yumako and jellynut processing support nutrient and bioflux production, while bioflux in turn enables more advanced recipes such as bacteria cultivation, bioplastic, and agricultural science packs.
