Nerfed bioreactor?

[Guizin]

I saw someone claim on neogaf that the bioreactor in below zero is less powerful than the one in the original subnautica game
i was thinking of getting below zero, but i was kinda bummed about it because the bioreactor is the best 😭
how's the other power options? anything else changed? is the nuclear reactor present in this game?

They never nerfed it, there’s just no proper fuel that gives good power yet as it is still early access

based on my testing using fishies, it's power output per unit seems to be the same as the original, and it's PPS hasn't changed, the only thing is none of long life fuels are currently available.

Right now peepers and arrow rays seem to give the best bang for the buck in the bioreactor.
But peepers are more nutritious as a food source.

Best reactor fuel currently is kelp root pustules (560) in experimental followed by the nootfish with 490.

I have plenty of Nootfish around, but I have 2 bioreactors in the same large module and I swear there is something fishy going on with their power generation. Like they dont seem to work in unison very well.

I use the gel sacks that I found in the Vent Gardens. They last a while in the Bioreactors

I don't know myself, never use it. It was completely worthless in the original game, so why try in this one? I cannot see how it could be any worse.

There are so many bugs . . .i lost my save file even. If you dont mind that kinda mess i guess buy it .

Had not tried nootfish. Peepers and rays are at 420.
Not sure if KRPs are in stable yet. I have not been able to harvest them.

(experimental) i've seen a nuclear reactor on the lilypad base a few days ago, but that base it's locked by a code and i forgot to ask someone the code. (a few updates later) the base is the same but the reactor is gone now :c

COMPLETELY WORTHLESS?
WHAT? SERIOUSLY?

They're not yet in experimental. It's the things that replaced the blood oil in kelp caves. But in stable you can't collect them yet.

KelpRootPustule 560
NootFish 490
Triops 420
ArcticPeeper 420
ArrowRay 420
CookedNootFish 367.50
SpinnerFish 350
CookedArcticPeeper 315

This list takes account of the slots size.

Check codes & clues, you should have the code there.

i never noticed cause i use 2 of them them i can still have power while charge my ship and batterys and scan for things :)
