A bioreactor uses various created and harvested materials to provide power to a base at a rate of 3 eu/s. It uses the item's Organic Value to fuel the machine. For example, a Bell Pepper has an Organic Value of 3, so it would fill the Bioreactor 3 ticks.

Energy Production[ | ]
The bioreactor has a maximum storage of 500 'ticks'. Each 'tick' lasts for 20 seconds, and each second it grants 3 energy. This means that if you use the Bell Pepper from earlier, you would be able to produce 180 energy for yourself.
Organic Value/Ticks= 3
Tick length= 20 seconds
Energy per second= 3
3 x 20 x 3 = 180 total energy from one Bell Pepper.
At its maximum it can hold a total of 500 ticks of energy. This means that a Bioreactor completely filled will give a grand total of 30,000 energy and will take approximately 166.6666... minutes (Or just around 1 hour 45 minutes) to fully expend itself.
