The Biochamber is a biological variant of the assembly machine and chemical plant, unlocked on Gleba. Unlike most other production buildings, it does not require electricity, but rather a steady supply of nutrients to operate. It has a built-in 50% productivity bonus.

One nutrients item will power a biochamber for 4 seconds. This can be reduced by Efficiency modules or increased by other modules, in exactly the same way as other machines.

An inactive biochamber uses no energy, but any nutrients contained in its fuel slot continue to spoil. As such, an inactive biochamber will still have nutrients inserted into them if nutrients are available.

The biochamber, like any machine, will not function if there are too many items in its trash slots (usually generated from an input or output spoiling). Unfiltered output inserters will remove items from trash slots. It is recommended to have one inserter dedicated to removing spoil products and another filtered to take out the recipe result. Alternatively, the belt the items are going into can have a filtered splitter to separate the desired product from the undesired product.

The biochamber has the unique property of having negative pollution. This means that, if you use the biochamber on Nauvis, it will absorb pollution. Furthermore, modules that affect pollution (by increasing energy consumption or directly) will make the negative value larger. So heavy use of biochambers with productivity modules and speed modules in beacons can lead to substantial pollution absorption.

Recipes

The biochamber has a large number of recipes, many of which are exclusive to the biochamber or to Gleba or both.
