Supplies needed for creating one can of biofuel:

  • 32 plant matter (saplings, wheat, seeds, sugar cane) (used up)
  • 4 Tin Ore, or 2 and a Macerator (used up, 10 cells left over)
  • 7 Tin Ore, or 4 and a Macerator, for the fuel can (reusable)
  • Fuel for powering machines.

Machines needed:

Procedure for creating biofuel:

  1. Mine for supplies.
  1. Process the ore.
    • Optional: Use a Macerator to double your yield.
    • Smelt the tin ore or dust into ingots.
  1. Craft some Empty Cells. 4 Tin Ingots yield 16 empty cells, which will be consumed when used. You will need 6 empty cells per can of biofuel.
  2. Craft a Fuel Can.
  3. Craft 8 of the following types of items into 6 Plantballs. Mixing types in a single plantball will not work.
    • Saplings (including IC rubber tree saplings, but not RedPower rubber tree saplings).
    • Wheat
    • Wheat seeds (but not Flax seeds)
    • Sugar cane
  1. Turn the plantballs into Compressed Plantballs in a Compressor or Singularity Compressor.
  2. Craft 6 Bio Cells from Compressed Plantballs and Empty Cells.
  3. Use the Extractor to turn the Bio Cells into Biofuel Cells.
  4. Use the Canning Machine to fill the Fuel Can with biofuel. This will take 6 biofuel cells.

The resulting Fuel Can (Filled) can be used to power generators.

Biofuel is not truly renewable because of the need to use up tin in biofuel cells.
