Space Age expansion exclusive feature.

The Biochamber is a biological variant of the assembly machine, 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 nutrients contained in its fuel slot continue to spoil.

Recipes

These recipes are exclusive to biochambers:

• Nutrients from yumako mash and Nutrients from bioflux
• Pentapod egg only on Gleba
• Iron bacteria cultivation and copper bacteria cultivation only on Gleba
• Bioflux
• Carbon fiber
• Agricultural science pack

These recipes are exclusive to biochamber, but the same items can be made by alternate recipes:

• Rocket fuel from jelly
• Biolubricant
• Bioplastic
• Biosulfur
• Burnt spoilage

These recipes can be used either by the biochamber or by other machines, but can benefit from the biochamber's 50% productivity:

• biochamber only on Gleba
• Heavy oil cracking to light oil, light oil cracking to petroleum gas, and rocket fuel
• Yumako processing and jellynut processing
• Nutrients from spoilage
• Iron bacteria and copper bacteria only on Gleba
• Wood processing only on Nauvis
• Fish breeding only on Nauvis
• Nutrients from fish
• Nutrients from biter egg
