@Mlie, thank you so much!

@Tkhakiro Should be fixed now

With this mod, I always have an option for pawns to interact, which allows me to transfer to a bioreactor, although I DO NOT have any studied technologies for it and THERE is NOT a single bioreactor on the map. Is there any way to remove this?

Keep up the good work Mlie

@gjallar Anything is possible, however I dont think I would have the time to implement such a change anytime soon. My main focus is to get all mods working for 1.6 at this point

@Mile Now that I've had some time to understand what the vanilla nutrient paste expanded pipes do; That would be a straightforward solution - pushing the ingredient nutrient calculations upstream to the VNPE mod. Does that limit potential ways to thin the soup, sure. But it also limits mission creep. If you're able to implement VNPE mod compatibility, that's awesome.

With regards to stasis. Isn't it possible to check the occupant as it goes into stasis? Couldn't you just pull the occupant's meals per day metric from its info card when it goes in and use that to set the bioreactor's fuel consumption rate? It feels like a safe assumption that occupant, in stasis, isn't going to increase or decrease it's nutritional requirements. It shouldn't require any calculations beyond the initial one.

@Corgi Yes, there is a size limit on them

I can't seem to put a Thrumbo in the normal or large bioreactor. It works with every other animal I've tried so far.

@gjallar It might be, however since the creatures in the pod are held in stasis, there is no nutritional calculations available. I think the nicest solution is to use vanilla nutrient paste expanded and pipe in nutrients instead.

Super happy to see this mod adopted. Thanks for doing that Mile.

One longstanding issue I had with this mod revolved around fuel for the bioreactors. They have a tendency to eat whole prepared meals (if you let them) for minimal or singular fuel gains. To me, it would make a lot more sense if a calculation step were added in that changed inputted food into their nutritional values first and then into fuel. That could be extended to sync fuel consumption rate to vat occupant's nutrition demands. (And perhaps, starvation for creature in the vat if it's unfueled - performance impact depending)

This also would mean that more metabolically efficient creatures become better candidates for the matrix. And also represents a significant buff to nuclear stomachs I guess..

Is this kind of change possible technically speaking?

@DracoHoribilis They have a fix for it in the unstable version of the game so I assume it will be available on the stable branch soon

was the gravthingy fixed?

@Cranberry I have reported it to the devs, as this is a bug in the ships map-switching logic

Have the gravship issues been fixed?

@toonslayerking Its just an xml property so you can just change it locally in your files or create a patch for it

can we get maybe a config opt or would that create other problems

@toonslayerking They are probably too big, max bodysize is 8 for the large reactor

so i cant put the hive queen in it

Will add that my two 2x2 reactors were left behind upon launch.

Also, a minor visual glitch with 3x3 reactors. When the ship is playing its landing animation, they already appear on the map in addition to appearing on the ship and it kind of merges them together visually during landing.

It would seem there is an issue with the 4x4 reactors. they destroy them selves and the walls around them on flight arrival.

same issue with gravship, reactor not placed correctly on landing, deleted building that was placed at the new location.

I have the same problem

To add to the Gravship discussion: At the moment, I only have issues with 2x2 and 4x4 bioreactors. I have made several jumps with 3x3 bioreactors and no issues, but the even numbered ones always seem to have a 1-tile offset to the right and up, which can make a Bioreactor on the top right wall of a gravship disappear on transit.

Absolutely love this mod, but it does not play well with gravships. The bioreactors do not always get left behind, but sometimes they get misplaced or moved,

Hi!
Fully agree with Troa Barton's comment — installing a bio-reactor on a gravship often results in it being left behind after launch, or it transfers incorrectly with broken texture alignment or misplaced position.
Is this something that could be fixed in an upcoming update?

just a heads up installing these on a gravship will have you leave them behind when you launch.

Thanks for 1.6 update. Looking forward to creating a wasteland faction with those hidden in my base.

Please forget about my comment. I'll try making my own mod based on the cryptosleep casket. Sorry for bothering you.

1. The upper part of the texture doesn't seem to be affected by lighting, making it look awkward. I used Realistic Darkness in the screenshot for a clear comparison.
2. A Null error occurs when putting humanoid Shamblers and Ghouls into the BioReactor.
3. It would be nice to have an option to prevent the contents from spilling out after Histolysis is completed.

Sorry for the annoying comment. Thanks to you, I'm always enjoying the game.

@Mlie
Thank you for updating and investing your time.
I realy apreciate it.

THE MATRIX EXPERIENCE CONTINUES

Ok

@Monbland Updating all my mods, see Discord for progress

UPDATE PLEASE!

1.6大佬

seeing mlie apologise for an error nooooooooooo! Mlie is KING

Thank you for all you do

huge. thank you for your service. o7

@sanyarkin Sorry, should be fixed now

as of last update tamed animals can't be put into a bioreactor, tested with no additional mods (except harmony)

Does anyone know if this is compatible with Dragon's Descent? I have too many dragons and would like to turn two reserve ones into power generation

Thank you, I don't know why but I don't use that mod, even though i'm subbed to it.

I hope it's okay to mention another mod, but I just came here now to tell anyone else who likes this mod and wants to achieve what I wrote in my earlier comment;

Using the RIMMSqol mod, I opened QoL in mod settings, entered the Buildings category, then "BioReactor (2X2)" [or whatever size of it you want to edit], scroll all the way to the bottom and click "Refuelable properties" Properties, then change "Fuel Consumption" to 0, "Fuel Capacity" to 1 [you want to put some fuel in it so it will glow :D], untick "Show Out of Fuel" to get rid of the baby food picture when it's unfueled. Go to previous page, click on "Power properties" Properties, change "Base Power" to 0, and done!
Now it is a purely cosmetic colonist (or enemy) storage chamber

@Commander Link You could use Vanilla Nutrient Paste Expanded to get rid of that

can any modder please make this into a cosmetic version? I just like to use it as an alternative to cryptosleep caskets, it's much cooler. or maybe even as a healing thing that slowly heals pawns within rather than creating power? like a bacta tank.

It just sucks seeing the symbol of food required over it

colony powered by human suffering

One of the best mods out there. Thank you.

thank you

@灵阁 Should be fixed now

pawn right-click itself can choose to install itself into BioReactor, which will cause the game to crash
