Alien Biomass

Alien Biomass is the organic foundation of Arcadia-7's ecosystem, containing unique biochemical compounds not found on Earth. This strange, pulsating material can be harvested from the planet's alien flora and fauna, offering versatile applications in fuel production, medicine, and research. Unlike mineral resources, biomass is renewable - alien plants regrow and creatures respawn, providing a sustainable resource stream. The material's unusual properties make it valuable for creating advanced consumables and alternative fuel sources, particularly useful when traditional resources are scarce or distant.

Primary Method: Harvest alien plants or defeat creatures.

Detailed Methods:

• Primary Source: Harvest alien plants with any tool (yields 2-5 biomass)
• Combat Drops: Defeat creatures for biomass (5-15 per creature)
• Alien Flora: Glowing plants and fungal growths in all biomes
• Creature Types: All hostile and neutral creatures drop biomass
• Respawn Rate: Plants regrow in 12 in-game hours
• No special tools required - can harvest by hand
• Most abundant in Forest and Swamp biomes

Primary Uses:

• Biofuel production
• Medical supplies
• Research

Detailed Applications:

• Biofuel: Process in Chemical Processor to create fuel (5 biomass = 1 biofuel)
• Medical Supplies: Craft medkits and healing items
• Energy Drinks: Create stamina-boosting consumables
• Carbon Extraction: Alternative carbon source (5 biomass = 1 carbon)
• Research: Good DP value (15 DP per unit)
• Plastic Production: Can be processed into plastic material
• Export: Valued by BioTech Solutions (1.4x multiplier)
