How to Build and Use the Bio-Forge
Placing and Powering the Bio-Forge
The Bio-Forge is the central crafting station for most Biomancy recipes. Place it on a solid surface and interact with it to open its interface. It uses the biomancy:bio_forging recipe type, which means it accepts specific ingredient combinations rather than a standard crafting grid. Check the interface for the input slots and the output slot.
Common Bio-Forge Recipes
Use the Bio-Forge to produce items like Organic Compound, Genetic Compound, Exotic Compound, and Gellant. These are intermediates for serums, grenades, and gear. You will also use it to craft Nutrient Paste, Grenade Casing, and various flesh building blocks. The Bio-Forge is where you convert raw biological materials into usable components.
Feeding the Bio-Forge
Raw materials come from the Digester and Decomposer. Run organic items through those blocks first, then bring the outputs to the Bio-Forge. If you want automation, place a Maw Hopper above the Bio-Forge to insert items, and another below to pull finished products into a Fleshkin Chest. Keep a stock of Organic Vials nearby, since many recipes require them as containers.
