Composter <---- Organic Waste <----------+
Build an Algae Vat - This is your primary organic matter source. Place it in a well-lit area with access to water.
Set up a Composter - Feed it organic waste to produce fertilizer for your mushroom farms.
Create a Mushroom Farm - Supply it with fertilizer from your composter to begin mushroom cultivation.
Construct a Bio-Reactor - Connect your organic outputs (algae and mushrooms) to begin fuel production.
Ensure you have the following installed before adding BioProcessing:
BepInEx (version 5.4.2100 or higher)
EquinoxsModUtils (version 6.1.3 or higher)
EMUAdditions (version 2.0.0 or higher)
BepInEx/plugins folderBioProcessing.dll into the plugins folderBundles folder if custom assets are includedTechtonica/
BepInEx/
plugins/
BioProcessing.dll
Bundles/ (optional)
mushroom_forest
lava_plants
fauna_turtle
BioProcessing can be customized through the BepInEx configuration system. After first launch, a configuration file will be created at:
BepInEx/config/com.certifried.bioprocessing.cfg
