Algae

Algae is a cluster of non-motile, single-celled lifeforms. It can be used to produce Oxygen when used in an Oxygen Diffuser.

Algae is one of the organic resources in the game. It is an important Oxygen source in early game.

Usage

Algae converts into Oxygen using the Oxygen Diffuser:

550 g/s Algae = 500 g/s Oxygen

Algae converts into Oxygen using the Algae Terrarium:

30 g/s Algae + 300 g/s Water = 40 g/s Oxygen + 290.33 g/s Polluted Water

Sage Hatches eat Algae and excrete Coal .

Pacus eat Algae and excrete Polluted Dirt . Due to the Pacus's fast reproduction rate, the fishes quickly exhaust the Algae reserve.

Production

• Algae Distiller produces Algae from Slime: 600 g/s Slime = 200 g/s Algae + 400 g/s Polluted Water
• Algae can be obtained from space expeditions to:
  • from Terrestial Planet or Organic Mass.

    Since The only Solids that can be retrieved from Organic Mass are Slime and Algae, the entire cargo can be converted to Algae.

  • from renewable Space POIs:
    • Organic Mass Fields at a rate of 162 kg – 486 kg per cycle.
    • Sandy Ore Fields at a rate of 108 kg – 324 kg per cycle.
