Biomass is a fuel item produced from various forms of biomass items such as Leaves, Wood or Alien Carapaces. It is used to fuel the Biomass Burner and vehicles. It provides significantly more fuel value than Leaves but less than Solid Biofuel. It is also building material for U-Jelly Landing Pads.

AWESOME Sink

 Biomass can be sunk into the AWESOME Sink to yield 12 points.

History

• Patch 0.3.2.0: Minor switch in the Alien Organisms research tree, the second research now consistently unlocks Biomass recipes
• Patch 0.1.5: Fabric recipe now requires Biomass instead of Leaves
• Patch Closed Alpha 3: Updated Biomass description to show that it is more energy-efficient than unprocessed resources
• Patch Closed Alpha 2.1: Increased wood, biomass, and biofuel energy by roughly 30%
• Patch 2018-10-17: Biomass overhaul
