I really like the new Bioreactor and the possibillity to throw in almost everything, but i still have one big problem with it.
The production rate of this reactor is horribly slow. Even a single thermal one produces the energy faster than five Bioreactors, while the Bioreactors also need to be "fed" with some organic matter.
So here is my Idea to improve this and make it more valuable:
At the moment the Bioreactor has a constant power output of 1 energy every 12 seconds, no matter how much stuff is put in it's inventory.
This could be changed to a production rate depending on how much slots of the reactor are used.
So let's say e.g. if you put only a single small fish like a Reginald wich only uses one slot inside, then the reactor will only produce energy very slowly at maybe 1 every 16 seconds.
A Hanging fruit (4 slots) would then produce 1 every 4 seconds (or 4 every 16 seconds)
If the reactor is completely filled (e.g. 4 Hanging fruits, or 16 Reginalds...), the reactor would produce 1 energy every second.
This would not only make the Bioreactor more valuable, it also makes logically a lot of sense (the more organic matter you put inside, the more energy it can produce).
