An Algae Block is a passively generated food item created from the Dermal Garden biomod.
Mechanics
An Algae Block is produced periodically when a player has the Dermal Garden biomod equipped. It is produced with no input or cost and appears in the player's inventory 3.5 minutes after the biomod has been equipped.
Each time the biomod activates, the block gains +5 food value, up to a maximum of +30 food per block (See Dermal Garden for Nutrition Chart). After all Algae Blocks in a player's inventory reach +30 food, new Algae Blocks are not created when the biomod activates.
Although Algae Blocks in the inventory are capped, they can be stored in containers, allowing the player to create a new Algae Block in their inventory. This means they can be used to produce food infinitely as Algae Blocks are still produced while sitting in a chair or bed which freezes food and water meters.
