But you have to keep feeding it, where the thermals are place and forget. I have one outpost that I have a bioreactor/scanner combo in, and at the most inconvenient times possible it lead to a constant steam of base has power/base lost power messages until I finally gave up and turned the stupid scanner off.
I allow as it might be more viable if it was a main base that I spent most of my time in. Or maybe it’s the fuel; I was mostly using Lantern fruit since I could grow those inside the base and they doubled as food.
(As a side note, has anyone else almost accidentally commit suicide because they ended up eating a bunch of rotten Reginald they were trying to unload into the bioreactor? )
