Biodome
The biodome states its a place to grow plants and generate O2..... Is the amount of O2 affected by putting plants into it or is it just a storage area for plants and has no effect on O2 generation?

You mean the Biodome 2? The "Storage" is for the Tree bark it generates i think. You can put stuff there. But then the bark dont have any place to go...

no i mean biodome 1

Yeah something seems off now with Biodome Tier 1. Did some stat get changed? I seem to remember before PC left Early Access that it was expensive to use energy-wise but still worth placing a few.

But now it's better to just use your Lirma seeds to build Grass Spreaders T1 and skip the T1 Biodome altogether. Did it used to produce some plant material?

The T1 biodome seems inferior in both oxygen and plant production to same-level machines. I built one, expecting some special feature, but it's rather pointless. I deconstructed it and replaced it with grass spreaders.

The T2 biodome on the other hand is required, because it's the only way to get tree bark. When it shows up it's also better than anything else at oxygen production.

Build one.
Then wait for the T2 and build a bunch of them.
I have at least 12 T2.
Just another thing that will get you closer to the terraform.
And they produce (way too much) tree bark which is required for a few things.

I mean, technically tree bark is edible in the real world... maybe 5 nutrition in game? :3
