Required Tool

The BioReactor will turn plant matter into BioFuel. The base conversion rate is 1 item to 80 millibuckets of biofuel. However, if multiple types of items are converted at the same time, the process becomes more efficient.

Known fuel sources (likely incomplete):

Seeds
- Wheat Seeds
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Melon Seeds
- Flax
- Corn
- etc.
Saplings
- Different varieties count as different types.
Veggies
- Carrots
- Potatoes
- Nether Wart
- Mushrooms
- etc.
Natura's Berry Bushes
Most Minecraft dyes
Ink Sacs. (No longer an option in Minecraft 1.7)
The Indigo Plant
Flower dyes

Noteworthy items that the BioReactor doesn't process:

Number of items	millibuckets of biofuel per item
1	80
2	90
3	100
4	110
5	120
6	130
7	140
8	150
9	160

Etc.

If supplied with a redstone signal, the reactor will stop processing materials. This can be helpful when loading items to get a high efficiency. It has an internal biofuel storage of 4 buckets, and will automatically output into Fluid Pipes. It requires no energy input to work, and generates biofuel at a rate of 1mB/tick.

Comparing to a Fermenter->Still setup, the BioReactor is better for mushrooms and saplings (the only two inputs they have in common). A Fermenter makes 50 mB of biomass from mushrooms and 250 mB of biomass from saplings. Using a Still, that makes 15mB of Biofuel from mushrooms and 75 mB from saplings. On top of that, a Fermenter and Still both require power to operate while the BioReactor does not.
