Bioreactor - cooked fish or raw?

[Hillbilly_Dave]

Do you get more power out of your fish if you cook them before putting them in or does it not matter? It gives power based on how many calories are in whatever is put into it, and cooking fish makes them give more food, which logically would mean more calories, but you can put inedible stuff in there too, like eggs and flowers and they give energy so it can't be directly tied to how much food an item gives, otherwise the inedibles wouldn't give any power at all. So again, does cooking fish before putting them into the reactor make a difference?

I'm not sure it matters. I tried both raw fish and cured fish and they all seem to last just as long.

I think the lazy man's solution is to stick a lantern tree in a planter right in front of the bioreactor. Not much reason to bother with fish.

Because a lantern fruit is 2x2 and provides 325 power. A Reginald is a single inventory square and provides 1100 power. A bioreactor filled with lantern fruit will run out of fuel once it's put out 1300 power. A bioreactor filled with reginalds will put out 17,600 power before it runs out of fuel. You should use fish because you have to refill it far less often.

1000, and it's 2x2. the same amount of space in reginalds gets 4400
