Bioreactor (Subnautica)

Bioreactor

The Bioreactor is constructed with the Habitat Builder and composts organic matter into Energy. It can break down any organic matter into reliable energy for Seabases. The Bioreactor produces 1 energy every 12 seconds. It can only be placed inside a Multipurpose Room. It does not affect power in creative mode.

Bioreactors work well in biomes where organic matter is plentiful, such as Kelp Forests or Mushroom Forests, where Solar Panels may be less efficient. It is also easy to supply a Bioreactor with fuel if one keeps a Growbed or Alien Containment full of fish nearby.

Different organics produce different amounts of energy:

Item	Energy
Plant matter:
Seeds/Spores	10
Samples	15
Lantern Fruit	65
Chinese Potato	75
Marblemelon	110
Fauna (raw):
Garryfish	65
Airsack	80
Eyeye	90
Holefish/Boomerang	105
Hoverfish/Spadefish/Hoopfish	115
Peeper/Oculus	150
Reginald	220
Creatures (available by collecting eggs and breeding them in a large aquarium):
Rabbitray	300
Shuttlebug/Mesmer	400
Stalker	500
Jellyray	600
Gasopod/Bone shark/Sandshark	800
Crabsnake/Ampeel	900
Reefback	1000
Others:
Floater	200
Small Eggs	50
Medium Eggs	100
Large Eggs	50
Sea Treader Manure	200

Data Bank Entry

On planets where organic matter is plentiful but sunlight is not, a reliable bioreactor will frequently prove the most efficient power solution.

• May be installed in any multipurpose habitat room
• Chemically composts organic materials, converting them into energy over time
• Accepts all plant matter, from seeds and spores to moldy fruits and vegetables
• Can also process animal matter (fat, muscle, eggs etc) and some organic waste products
• Energy production is proportionate to the calories in the organic matter
