A Bioreactor Control Center for simultaneous refueling (Biobus)

T

In their current state Bioreactors are the least used power devices in my game, & I’m willing to bet this is similar for most players. The reason for this is their output is similar to the other passive devices, which makes it difficult to justify the extra work / maintenance they require to keep them running since they must be individually refueled. It’s great that this interior power option exists for bases & that it doesn’t add in the visual power lines, but in order for it to be a viable option the work needs to be worth it. An idea, besides including a buff to their output, would be the ability to link multiple reactors to a central bioreactor hub / control screen. This could be a place to fuel multiple structures at once, and it could also notify the player when fuel is low cutting down the total maintenance time required. A dev named Seth in the subnautica 2 discord referred to this idea as a Biobus.

It would also be a good idea to add an automatic bioresource collection system to this reactor, with a limited range — perhaps as an additional device.
