Photon Bio-Farms
Solar bio-reactors that produce oxygen AND hydrogen in one block. There are four tiers, from 2,000 up to 20,000 L/min of each gas in full sun.

Features
- One block, both gases: hydrogen and oxygen go out through the same conveyor port into your tanks
- Custom animated model: glass bio-tubes with glowing fluid, oxygen (blue) and hydrogen (orange) tanks behind a window, solar fins, and a turbine that spins faster in stronger sun
- Tier glow colours: green (2x), cyan (5x), violet (10x), gold (20x)
- The block info shows the real oxygen and hydrogen output and the sun level
- Paintable hull, plus a vanilla 4-light sun bar
- Same 3x1x1 footprint as the vanilla Oxygen Farm, with a vanilla conveyor port on one end and terminal panels on both sides
Good to know
- Contains mod scripts: one gives the farms their second gas (runs on the server and clients), one handles the visuals (clients only)
- Works in single player, multiplayer and on dedicated servers
- Safe to add to existing worlds. Vanilla Oxygen Farms are not changed
- Pairs well with Helios Fusion Reactors (ice-burning fusion power)
