Burner Biochamber

by Jtmzac

Adds a burner version of the biochamber that can also make oil based solid fuel, but can only be placed on non-Gleba/agricultural planets (configurable). This preserves the existing Gleba game design, but makes it much better to use on other planets.

Changelog

Version: 1.0.6
Date: 2026. 02. 26
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed breaking the normal biochamber recycling recipe
Version: 1.0.5
Date: 2026. 02. 25
  Changes:
    - Disabled quality on the burner biochamber recipes because that would be very broken.
Version: 1.0.4
Date: 2026. 02. 21
  Changes:
    - Updated info.json description to be more informative
  Bugfixes:
    - Fix nil reference error for planets without surface conditions. I don't know what they are
      doing without surface conditions so I've gone the conservative route of not adding them and
      assuming they're not meant to be playable planets.
    - Another small fix to surface conditions to include handling for space platforms
Version: 1.0.3
Date: 2026. 02. 20
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed the completely broken implementation of surface conditions... Factoriopedia lied to me.
      The prototype explorer told me the truth.
      The new surface condition is now manually applied to all planets in data-updates.lua and the
      placement settings are applied after this.
Version: 1.0.2
Date: 2026. 02. 20
  Features:
    - Added the 3 solid fuel from petroleum recipes to the burner biochamber.
      This is enabled by default but can be disabled in the settings.
      Further analysis of production rates showed the burner was at best a 20-30% buff over not using it.
      By adding solid fuel it becomes 40-60%. This is much closer to the foundry and EM plant
  Balancing:
    - Changed Muluna default to allow placement.
      This is due to the lack of any organic systems on the planet and it already supporting the biochamber.
      The cellulose recipes also devalue the productivity bonuses of biochambers
Version: 1.0.1
Date: 2026. 02. 19
