📋 About This Mod
A type of battery that converts organic matter (fish, plants) into energy. Better than the standard battery, but worse than the ion battery. This battery (while I admit, it doesn't exactly make much sense, but is optional) can also be used as a source of fuel in the bio reactor. Crafting recipes and energy can be found below
Bio Battery: 300 power
Bio Power Cell: 600 power
If you choose to use them in the bio reactor:
Bio Battery: 600 Bio Reactor Fuel
Bio Power Cell: 1200 Bio Reactor Fuel
Bio Battery: 1 Peeper, 1 Boomerang, 1 Creepvine Sample, 1 Creepvine Seed Cluster, 1 Copper
Bio Power Cell: 2 Bio Batteries, 1 Silicon Rubber, 1 Fibermesh
Installation guide can be found in the .zip file.
Requires Custom Batteries (and its requirements) Custom Craft 2 (and its requirements) Optional! QModManager, 7zip or WinRAR.
