Biofuel Mod

Description
This mod adds biofuel as a source of power to the game. First, you create plant food in an assembler with gravel and ice. Then, you put it into the biofuel farm, which creates biofuel slowly. Once you have the biofuel, you can use it in the biofuel reactor to create power. Both small and large grid versions are available. The reactor has the vanilla reactor model, and the biofuel farm has the oxygen farm model. I made the crappy textures you see myself, but if somebody would make some better ones I'd love to replace them. The power output is the same as vanilla.

THE BIOFUEL FARM DOES NOT NEED SUNLIGHT TO WORK

there is the option to start a game in space though is there not? or maybe just download the BP for the old starter ship and put yourself in space with admin spawn ship and way ya go....play the game the way you want it

It went from having a starter ship that had enough materials to go back into space with a bit of ice, and there was only one type of assembler. I don't want to have to mine ores on a planet to start out :P

@sonicrules1234 what changed??
sonicrules1234  [author] 6 Apr, 2021 @ 8:40am 
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I haven't really been able to enjoy Space Engineers since they changed the way you start out.

Yea I have no idea but it's an awesome mod and I have worked around the ISY issues to accommodate it on the server because I hate continuously mining uranium

The way this mod works is by telling the game that they are reactors. I'm not sure why it's sending plant food to refineries, because plant food is marked as components. Although I'm pretty sure that with inventory managers there are ways to exclude items from going into different inventories.

This mod is awesome and love how it has changed my server....however I have a few little issues. ISY inventory sees this mods reactors as normal so tries to place uranium in them bit cant and also it has no idea what to do with plant food so it tries to send it to a refinery constantly.

Ultimately everything still works it just stalls the isy script pretty bad when your producing food for the plants and if you try to use isy reactor balance feature

not to shabby

thanks. Also, why not utilize Lithium next?

Specs:
+25% more en than nuclear
+600% longer duration for energy.

Shouldn't it be called "Biofuel combustion engine" or just "combustion engine" itself since it seems odd to "react" fuels in a reactor?
