Foundry has multiple methods for powering production facilities. However, at the beginning of the game, players will only have access to the biomass burner, which uses vegetation materials as fuel to power buildings. Unfortunately, biomass is one of the few materials in the game that cannot be automated using Conveyor Belts since it requires manual mining to acquire the resources. This serves as a way to push players towards alternative power methods.
1. The Biomass Burner is essential to providing power to production buildings and requires Biomass to fuel.
2. Acquire biomass by using the Drill tool on nearby vegetation.
3. To add the fuel, select Manage Inventory from the biomass burner.
4. Drag the biomass into the Fuel box on the side of the inventory screen.
