How to run the Bioreactor

This procedure is checked against game configuration and behavior code. It is not a measured layout or a live-save test.

1. Prepare the unlocked machine

   Unlock and build the Bioreactor, connect its input and output belts, and provide enough area power. Unlike the Smithy and Assembly bench in the iron example, this machine automatically queues its recipe and does not accept a zombie operator.

2. Feed a complete batch

   Put Wheat into the supplying conveyor storage and choose it for the connected output slot. Route that belt into the Bioreactor. Each base batch requires 5 pieces. Check that the items actually enter the machine; supplies elsewhere in the area do not confirm receipt.

3. Check the physical output

   With the Factory unpaused and sufficiently powered, the machine advances its automatic craft. A completed base batch produces 1 Zombie Power; leave the next output cell free so it can leave. Once output clears, the machine queues another batch. Check the moving output item, not a rise in the area-power total.

4. Use the product or check a stopped stage

   Zombie Power is a recipe ingredient. Route or collect it for a downstream recipe that requests it; producing it does not power the belts. If production stops, check wheat in the selected feed, input connections, the craft status, free output space, the pause state and area power. Do not add a zombie to solve this automatic machine’s stoppage.
