About Biochamber Tweak mod
From Factorio Mod PortalGives Biochambers more utility on other planets Just Updated for 2.1
Same as my other little tweak mods: This aims to improve the utility of the biochamber. I want it to be more useful off gleba just like the foundry, EM plant and cryogenic lab is. The Biochamber is now used to:
- make holmium solution allowing it to be a great upgrade from the chemical plant
- make coal from carbonite chunks (coal synthesis)
- make rocket fuel from ammonia (the cryogenic lab nor chemplant can no longer use this recipe)
-make overgrowth soils for both Gleba seeds
This means that its will encourage the use of nutrient loops on fulgora and Aquilo to gain those productivity bonuses.
The Overgrowth change also allows for Legendary Biter Eggs to be slightly easier to produce. I think its overlooked how useful that recipe is for biter egg upscaling is using that recipe even without this tweak, but when you can easily brute force it other ways i find the players don't bother.
Happy to try and add more interesting uses for the biochamber.
