Started a new run yesterday, grabbed the Bioreactor frags immediately after scanning the multi room on the Floating Island.
Got everything (mod station, battery charger, moonpool, and scanner room) installed and was about to begin the usual fuel grind of hit-and-runs when I realized that you can use Tube Coral samples.
This might not seem like a big deal, but Tube Coral (unlike Kelp trees) are incapable of becoming fully depleted. Meaning, you can slash them indefinitely and fill your inventory with samples.
Infinite coral = infinite fuel = infinite power.
Forget nuclear reactors, forget thermal plants.
As of writing, I have already rigged 4 bioreactors to my base, and possess the resources to build 3 more. I’m shoveling coral into those vegan blenders with the efficiency of Alterra’s search-and-rescue division, but it’s ok because my power consumption is fairly low…until I add some filtration units and an extra moonpool.
God cannot quell my strength.

I just almost completely made my blood kelp base. It has two multi-purpose rooms and a scanner room. One of the multi-purpose rooms has a bioreactor and the other has a growbed to feed the bioreactor and me. The only thing I need to do to finish it is to finish the grow bed which I was two titanium short of doing.
Am I the only person who refuses to put a live creature into a bioreactor? Sure a fish or egg will give you a lot more fuel than a lantern fruit or bulba seed, but I cannot bring myself to do that to a living CGI creature. I have no problem cooking or curing and then eating them, but the thought of a fish or egg being slowly dissolved over a period of time by a bioreactor bothers me for some reason.
When using a bioreactor cured food can make for a long lasting fuel just make sure you have plenty extra if you are going to use it
When I did this, I put acid mushrooms in way after and (other things too) and the cured peeper was the last thing in.
Which thing that can be used to power a Bioreactor is best? Like which item generates power quickly and generates a lot of power at maximum?
I want to start a farm for the best bioreactor fuel ,what is it? The best fuel I have right now is deep shrooms.
Cuddlefish eggs give 210 energy in the bioreactor
