About Biolabs Need Nutrients

From Factorio Mod Portal

Biolabs now use nutrients instead of electric power

Biolabs now require nutrients for fuel. They still consume 300kW like before, but now it's 300kW of "yummy value" instead of electricity. For comparison, a biochamber consumes 500kW of nutrients.

This mod does not change the pollution generated by biolabs, which is still 8/m. (Biochambers actually reduce pollution, when they're on a planet that has pollution, such as Nauvis. Gleba has spores, not pollution.)
