Iron bacteria cultivation

Bacteria cultivation is a recipe that produces Iron bacteria. This recipe yields a fixed output of four Iron bacteria each time it completes, rather than producing a net increase as is common with other catalytic recipes. The Iron bacteria produced by this recipe always have maximum freshness immediately after cultivation.

The distinction between a fixed output and a net-increase catalytic effect means that Bacteria cultivation does not scale its product count based on input catalysts or reuse of the catalyst; it simply returns four fresh Iron bacteria per operation. Because the freshly produced Iron bacteria have the highest possible freshness, they are immediately suitable for uses that depend on peak freshness.

• The recipe produces 4 Iron bacteria on completion.
• The output is a fixed count rather than a catalytic net increase typical of other similar recipes.
• Newly produced Iron bacteria always start with maximum freshness.

Practical notes: use Bacteria cultivation when you require a guaranteed quantity of fresh Iron bacteria with full freshness. The fixed-yield behavior simplifies planning for batches where a known count of fresh bacteria is required. Do not rely on this recipe to generate a catalytic surplus beyond the fixed four units per run; other catalytic recipes remain the method for generating net increases in bacterial counts where that behavior applies.
