Thanks for this tip, I was thinking maybe I could just sort of deal with the biomass stuff by hand until I reached coal but I took a chance tonight and built a line for biomass production like you described and it works well. Cheers!

Glad I could help you guys!

The biggest reason I switched to coal was actually just for more power output. If you load balance biomass into generators efficiently, it's pretty easy to have upwards of a couple dozen of them. But they just don't output as much power as the coal generator upgrade.

It gets really good when you get smart splitters. You don't even need to really progress much in the game to get there, you just need to fill out the caterium tree in the mam. Then you can have one input for all your biomass stuff and smart splitters that take it to the constructors that will convert it to biomass, then into the constructors that will convert it to solid biomass, then into the burners. 👍

I used to build such lines in update 8 that output to a bin and I'd grab it for the burners.... Just collect whatever biomass I can while I'm out getting things done and dump it every time I get back to the hub area where it was setup with the burners. It was a little ritual I had. The input on biomass burners will really cut down on how much time I have to think about it.

:)

I'm playing 1.0 now, I just unlocked smart splitters, and I have to rebuild my biomass processing as a result.

There's also the dimensional depot which I rushed to, and that's a complete game changer. Finally got enough materials to just set it up on my production lines, and I'm planning to add one for biomass, so I always have a little biomass in the depot for when I'm out and about and a drop pod needs power.

Haha oh man that is such a nice sleek layout compared to….whatever is happening on my planet. Truth time - I’m really bad at this game but I have a blast playing it. My layouts are not slick at all. Thanks a lot for the link!

I fool myself into think I’m good at designing by putting all my spaghetti underneath the main floor so it appears to be tidy
