Bioreactor (Subnautica)

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. It is also useful for disposing of any excess or spoiled flora and fauna that the player has no more need of. Egg-hatched fish in particular provide the most energy.

Power Requirements
Different organics produce different amounts of energy:

Trivia

 * When the bioreactor was first introduced, it was placed outside of the base much like a solar panel.
 * The Bioreactor used to only accept the combination of Creepvine Samples and Fungus Samples.
