Can I grow Reginalds for food in alien containment?

[Wowy]

Stupid question I know.... well?

[straykaiya]

Yes, reggie is the best food amount, and also the best fuel for a bio reactor, before you get into using baby reefbacks and anything hatched from eggs in there

You will need two reggie to breed

Got them also I'am using nuclear reactors :D so no need to kill my pets... for now

Also you can plant two kelp seeds and two blood oil bubbles, and never have to look for those resources again.

Or plant some marblemelons. If you take an Interior Growbed you can plant up to 4x4 of them. So if you eat 4 of them cut one with the knife and replant them. You will never have any food/water problems. But if you whant to do long travels, cured reginalds and some big water bottles are best i think :)

Base in grand reef with two water filtration system and latern fruits keep me alive problem is looking for lead to build reactor rods :/

I never though of that... thanks you just saved me so much time.

I built my base in the Lost River, an area next to three thermal vents. 5 Thermal Plants in the right spot + Power Connectors = I never have to look for power resources even with two Water Filtration machines running. I prefer passive means of obtaining power over something I have to refuel.

I still cant go that deep, so current base will suffice later I will move to new location again

Same here. However, I have a question... if I place an empty nuclear reactor into my base that also has other power sources, will its capacity be filled? Or, in general, can I build power source just to make it serve as powerbank that's recharged by something else?
The reason for that is that I too have a few thermal plants, and they keep up with the base nicely... until I go to recharge a PRAWN with ion power cells. That drains the base power intantly, and keeps it offline for a good minute if it was sufficiently low. So I just need a larger power reserve, not greater power output...

Power generators will only charge their own powerbanks. My old base, on a plateau overlooking the Grand Reef is sitting on 700/800 power, and that is because I haven't bothered to fill up the Bioreactor in some time. The 700 is from Thermal plants (at 20c temp) and Solar Panels.

Power Cells contain about 200 worth of power (Ion Power Cells 1000), so if your base gets instantly drained, it's because you have less than 200 worth of power in thermal plants. Try to get up to 250, and build the thermal plant in an area where the temp is higher than 40c. It seems the hotter the water is, the faster the thermal plants will generate power.

Nuclear plants will still drain the reactor rods, even if there's nothing draining the power.

A tip, Chinese potato plants give the most food out of all the fruits, and you can eat those infinity without getting sick, unlike later fruit. Use those instead of later fruit. Also my base is in the sparse reef, 3 nuclear reactors, a 5 story Alien containment, A walkway to the Grand reef, 2 moon pools, 2 water filtration machines, and huge af.

Also for long trips MAKE CURED FISH WITH SALT! THEY NEVER ROT AND ARE GREAT! No YouTubers have tried this.

all my food is cured i just pick up fish and use salt from water filtration machines and then store them for later use

Aw. My thermal plats all sit in 50c+ water, but the base only have 450 power. Not enough to charge up a drained ion powercell, and vehicles drain base power it ridiculously quickly. Way faster than charge station. =\
