Biomass/biofuel problem

[Spieluin]

Hi there,

I'm new to the game and have a problem with biomass/biofuel. As I wanted to do 100% efficiency from the beginnging and the nodes are a bit spread on my spot, I had to build 3 biomass generators. In addition I have the two generators at the HUB. Now here is the problem: the only thing I do right now is running around the map and gathering leaves and wood as one generator is always empty. I have the solid biofuel by now but it takes so much time until it is produced even when doing it via constructor.
Is there any tip or trick as to keep them running without constantly running around for leaves and stuff? I kills the fun for me a bit.

A lot of good tips here so you're set on most of what you said. But for future reference if you ever get into mods there's a good biomass mod that adds a belt hookup to biomass burners that doesn't add in a bunch of ridiculous power generating buildings (imo) like refined power mod does. It's just a biomass burner with a belt hookup so you can just add them to the end of your solid biofuel constructor or any constructor biomass etc and it'll just keep feeding them so you don't have to manually keep refilling them you can just keep putting your leaves wood whatever in to be converted and forget about it. They're a little more costly because they require reinforced iron plates (2 each i think which is fair) but they make the game a lot more fun to play without constant nudging/anxiety.

do you have the chain saw yet? that wipes out large chunks of leaves and wood in 1 hit, i usually have 2 constructors, one doing leaves n another doing wood, dropping into the same storage, do you have bio fuel or just biomass? biofuel is much better and push for coal power asap, biofuel is a pain for sure.

if you have biofuel don't waste your time on biomass or plain leaves or wood, just biofuel the lot

Get the God Mode chainsaw. Clears a massive area including Limestone/mycelia.

I tried the god mode chainsaw (it's absurdly op) for fun i used it with the 300 slot expansion mod and it froze my game for like 30 seconds on one saw and filled the entire inventory it was insane.

Another tip, if you have unlocked the tractor don't waste your solid biofuel for it. Make color cartridges. They last longer in vehicles for fuel over solid biofuel. They are even better than regular fuel. Until you get to packaged turbofuel, but by then you should be able to make batteries which batteries are the win.
