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. 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.
