Survival, exploration, and crafting gameSerumleans hard on its crafting mechanics, requiring the player to craft everything of consequence, from weapons and tools, such as the machete and scanner, to more complex things like upgrades for crafting benches and even the eponymous serums the protagonist Adam requires to live.
One essential material produced as part of the crafting system is biofuel. Players need to use biofuel to power up necessary crafting stations as well as facilities out in the game world. This guide will detail how to make biofuel.
What Is Biofuel In Serum?
InSerum, biofuel is created from plant and animal material and is used topower up generators. One key use for biofuel in the early game is powering up the generator at Adam’s refuge. Without a sufficient supply of biofuel, the generator will fail — and with it, a number of essential crafting benches will stop working.
Biofuel is used in maintaining the function of theHydroponics Station, for example, and if the power goes out, the plants planted in the Hydroponics Station die and need to be collected and planted again. Biofuel is also used to power the generator at the cable car station — without biofuel, cable car travel between biomes is impossible.
How To Make Biofuel In Serum
AlthoughSerumfeatures a rich and complex crafting system with many different components and recipes for players to craft, biofuel isn’t a specific product of the crafting system. Instead, biofuel is produced as a byproduct of therecycling system.InSerum, players can recycle various different things found in the game world into their component parts for use in later construction or to learn their blueprints.
How To Recycle In Serum
Items can be recycled inSerumby heading to a crafting bench and selecting the Recycling tab from the crafting menu.Almost all inventory items can be recycled, so there’s a lot of things to choose from.
Biofuel can be produced from most plant and animal materials, as well as being a product from recycling some items that can be looted from the environment. However, it’s best to consider the other uses of plant and animal materials before recycling them all — some plant and animal materials are key components in important items such as serums with many different effects.
Good Sources Of Biofuel In Serum
Blue Armillaria
Blue Armillaria is a great source of biofuel in addition to being an important ingredient in Blight Protection Serum. That’s because Blue Armillaria is abundant in the game world, can be grown in the Hydroponics Station,and produces 8 biofuelwhen recycled.
Creeping Passiflora
A good recipe for producing biofuel in the early game is by using theCreeping Passiflora plant.Although it does provide some nice aspects and a small bit of Blight protection, other items are much more effective, making it perfect for recycling into biofuel.
Rotter Carcass
Rotter Carcass can be obtained from hunting Rotters, a kind of mutated rabbit extremely common in the starting zone and around Adam’s refuge. Rotter carcass isn’t very useful except as something to recycle for its aspects and biofuel, making it a great choice when looking for materials to recycle.
Healing Herb
The Healing Herb item is necessary for producing Blight Protection Serum, but it’s abundant in the game world ofSerum,so it’s not too important to stock up on it. In addition, it produces2biofuelwhen recycled, making it a good option (even if it isn’t the best).
Gasoline
The gasoline tank item can be looted from the game world, whether from car or truck wrecks or ruined buildings. When recycled, gasoline tanks drop a massive amount of biofuel, making them a great source of biofuel especiallyearly game.
