SUBNAUTICA BIOREACTOR HOW TO

Power source Number 3: Thermal Plant (Anyone want some heat energy?) In order to use you simply put anything organic inside and energy will be made, the game will tell you if that item is organic or not so you don’t accidentally put something wrong inside of it. It’s one of the power sources that seem useless at first but eventually becomes a most needed power source, it’s an instant win for me as one of the best power sources due to the fact that it takes anything organic and turns it into electricity to power all your water filters (or 1 if your like me). It can be crafted from: 3 titanium, 1 wiring kit and 1 lubricant. The best bioreactor ingredients (or materials if you want to call them that) are: Blood mushrooms and acid mushrooms, gel sack, lantern tree fruit, and any fish. The max power cap is 500 per bioreactor, ingredients and/or fish can be added and generate energy, some generate more and some generate less. Power source Number 2: Bioreactor (Fresh energy right outta’ that fish!)Ī bioreactor is the second power source in this guide, this one is actually kinda underrated since other people tend to use it for a short period of time as a temporary power source until they get stuff like nuclear reactors or a lot of solar panel ingredients and stuff. To use them, simply put them on top of anything during the day and it’ll start providing energy to your base the moment its fully constructed.

It’s an alright power source to use, it’s cheap and it’s good for small bases but larger bases it can be used as a small power generator. They can be crafted from: 2 quartz, 2 titanium and 1 copper. Funny enough, the power gain is actually based off of depth and not in direct sight of the sun, meaning that lower bases will earn less power from solar panels than bases closer to the surface.

The good ol’ fashioned solar panel, a good starter source of power to use in small bases, the max power cap is 75 although adding more will increase the bases max power cap. Power source Number 1: Solar Panels (Harvest power directly from the sun!)

SUBNAUTICA BIOREACTOR HOW TO

I discuss what power sources there are, how to use them, if they are right to use, and whats the best power source. Welcome to a guide where I discuss the sources of power that are available during your play-through in Subnautica. Let me know if I'm missing something that makes the bioreactors great, but in their current state, they are far too underpowered for my taste.Having a hard time figuring out what power source is the best? Can’t seem to power the entire base due to energy eaters? Power is too low during night? This guide is perfect for you! If you really want renewable energy, your best bet is to build a thermal plant or solar farm and then use power transmitters. Reginald is the best input that I have seen so far. If you want to use a bioreactor setup, do not feed it with plant matter unless you enjoy constantly micromanaging your power systems. As far as I can tell, it would take somewhere from 10-15 bioreactors to run a single water filtration machine non-stop.

To get more power/sec, you need to construct additional pylons bioreactors. Putting more stuff into the reactor does not change this, it only makes the reactor run longer. Regardless of fuel type, a bioreactor will only output one power every 12 seconds (or 0.0833 p/s).

Here are the results for several different types of fuel: I assumed that I was just using a poor fuel, so I created a new world with a testing facility. In addition, the recharge rate is abysmal. I was constantly running out of power, and had to refill the stupid thing every couple of minutes. To say that the experience was underwhelming would be an understatement. So I just built a bioreactor for the first time today.
