+ | |||
+ | The Biomass can then be cooked in a Furnace at over 580K (or in the Arc Furnace, which consumes energy), this will produce one Charcoal per Biomass. | ||

+ | The overall ratio is 1 Charcoal for every 1 plant/cooked food/decayed food/seed. | ||

With Carbon Dioxide from Charcoal, Volatiles from Biomass, and Oxygen from living plants, it becomes possible to create a renewable cycle that creates and consumes these three gases. It's preferable to keep the level of Carbon Dioxide in the plants atmosphere as low as possible without allowing it to reach zero. This is because plants in the game will consume less Carbon Dioxide when there is less of it available, while still being able to grow at a normal rate and produce Oxygen at full capacity. | With Carbon Dioxide from Charcoal, Volatiles from Biomass, and Oxygen from living plants, it becomes possible to create a renewable cycle that creates and consumes these three gases.

Charcoal can be burned in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Solid Fuel Generator|Solid Fuel Generator]] to produce power. But it does not behave like regular Coal does <ref>Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stationeers/comments/wrshsn/how_to_burn_charcoal_with_100_efficiency_in_a/</ref>. | Charcoal can be burned in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Solid Fuel Generator|Solid Fuel Generator]] to produce power.

Only ~33% of the available power is obtained. |
With a little bit of automation it's possible to release 100% of the energy from a stack of Charcoal. A Stacker controlled by an IC can be used to release the Charcoal one by one every 8 game-ticks, this is enough time for each Charcoal to always burn to completion. | With a little bit of automation it's possible to release 100% of the energy from a stack of Charcoal.
