Synthetic Bioflux

Alternative chemical synthesis of bioflux from petroleum products

This mod adds a new way to produce bioflux without relying on Gleba's biological resources. Using advanced chemistry, you can now synthesize stable bioflux from petroleum gas, sulfuric acid, lubricant, and water.
Features

New item: Synthetic Bioflux - a chemically stabilized version that never spoils
Chemical production: Produce bioflux using petroleum-based chemistry (12 seconds in Chemical Plant)
Perfect for logistics: Store and transport synthetic bioflux without worrying about spoilage
Easy conversion: Convert synthetic bioflux to regular bioflux (0.5 seconds) or directly to nutrients (40 units per bioflux)
Balanced gameplay: More expensive than natural Gleba production, maintaining game balance

Recipe

20 Petroleum Gas
10 Sulfuric Acid
2 Sulfur
5 Carbon
→ 1 Synthetic Bioflux

Technology Requirements

Requires: Oil Processing, Sulfur Processing, and Bioflux technologies (500 research packs)
Why Use This Mod?

Produce bioflux locally on any planet with oil processing
Eliminate spoilage concerns for long-distance transport
Maintain stable bioflux reserves without complex Gleba logistics
Alternative playstyle for players who prefer chemical production over biological farming

Note: This mod is designed as a more expensive alternative to natural bioflux production, not a replacement. Gleba remains the most efficient source.
