BioProcessing

BioProcessing

A comprehensive biological processing system mod for Techtonica that introduces organic farming, renewable fuel production, and environmental remediation mechanics.

Overview

BioProcessing adds a complete organic production chain to Techtonica, allowing players to cultivate biological resources and convert them into valuable biofuel and biogas. This mod creates a sustainable, renewable energy ecosystem that integrates seamlessly with other mods in the Techtonica modding ecosystem.

Features

Bio-Processing Facilities

Algae Vat

A cylindrical cultivation tank for growing raw algae through photosynthesis.

| Specification | Value |

|---------------|-------|

| Storage Capacity | 100 units |

| Base Production Rate | 1 unit/second |

| Requirements | Water, Light |

Key Features:

• Continuous algae production while water and light conditions are met
• Visual feedback with color-changing tank (green intensity indicates fill level)
• Animated bubble particle effects during active production
• Harvest all or partial amounts of stored algae

Mushroom Farm

A cultivation plot for growing mushrooms in controlled dark conditions.

| Specification | Value |

|---------------|-------|

| Max Mushrooms | 20 |

| Growth Time | 30 seconds per mushroom |

| Fertilizer per Mushroom | 2 units |

| Fertilizer Capacity | 50 units |

Key Features:

• Requires fertilizer input (from Composter) to grow mushrooms
• Individual mushroom visuals appear as they mature
• Produces both mushrooms and spores
• Can receive compost directly as fertilizer input

Bio-Reactor

The central processing unit that converts organic matter into usable fuel products.

| Specification | Value |

|---------------|-------|

| Organic Matter Capacity | 200 units |

| Biofuel Capacity | 100 units |

| Biogas Capacity | 100 units |

| Biofuel Conversion Rate | 30% |

| Biogas Conversion Rate | 50% |

| Processing Rate | 5 units/second |

Key Features:

• Accepts multiple organic inputs: raw algae, mushrooms, and organic waste
• Dual output: Biofuel (liquid fuel) and Biogas (for power generation)
• Visual reactor glow when actively processing
• Steam particle effects during operation
• Each mushroom contributes 5 units of organic matter

Composter

Converts organic waste into valuable fertilizer for mushroom cultivation.

| Specification | Value |

|---------------|-------|

| Waste Capacity | 100 units |

| Fertilizer Capacity | 50 units |

| Conversion Efficiency | 50% |

| Processing Time | 60 seconds per batch (10 units) |

Key Features:

• Processes organic waste in batches of 10 units
• Visual fill indicator for organic matter level
• Produces fertilizer to feed Mushroom Farms
• Creates a closed-loop resource cycle

Bio-Remediation System

An advanced environmental cleanup feature using biological processes.

• Clean up hazardous and contaminated zones
• Accelerates natural decay of radiation from nuclear processes
• Visual particle effects indicate active remediation
• Can be enabled/disabled via configuration
