Bio Industries provides you with some very useful buildings and products.

This mod works best with Bob's mods, but can definitely be used by itself also.
Thanks to Xterminator for doing a Mod Spotlight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edAFIDix8Vk – V1.1.0 so a little outdated.
Munda (Steigenbaerchen) featured a detailed review in German of BI and Deadlock Stacking for BI, as well as a follow-up. Thanks a lot for the spotlight! :-)

Buildings:
Bio-Boiler: Outputs the same amount of energy as 2 normal boilers while consuming twice as much fuel -- but with way less pollution!
Bio-Farm: Produce wood in a greenhouse.
Bio-Garden: A building that helps reduces the pollution you create.
Bio-Solar-Farm: A high yield solar plant. Condense those hundreds of smaller solar panels into single unit.
Bio-Accumulator – A very large Accumulator. Condense those hundreds of smaller accumulators into single unit.
Solar Floor/Mat – A solar mat/floor that lets you move fast and produces electricity.
Bio-Cannon: A massive artillery unit that only fires on spawners. It has a range of 85.
Cookery: Turn all that wood you’re going to produce into Coal!
Stone Crusher: Crush stone.
Bio-Reactor: Produce Bio Fuels and Plastics.
Terraformer: Change terrain and/or plant trees

Products:
Seedling: Plant trees! (You can plant Seedlings and they will grow into trees.) The terrain you plant the seedlings on affects how fast they will grow, or if they will grow at all. Use fertilizer to improve the terrain!
Fertilizer: Use fertilizer to change terrain to grass. Trees grow better in grasslands that deserts. Also used in recipes to grow wood faster in the Bio Farm.
Wooden Fence: Early Defense.
Big Wooden Pole: Early Large Electric Pole.
Wood Floors: Early Wooden Floors.
Wooden Rail: Early Rail needs Wood to produce, later rail now needs Concrete.
