Step by step
This is a short, compact guide for automating the biodome.

1. Place 2 auto-seeders and 2 containers with the seeds you want to plant. (The seed containers for the auto-seeder must be 100% full so that excess seeds go to storage. If the containers are not full, they will fill up first instead.)

2. Place 3 auto-collectors. On the side ones, place 2 containers with large seeds, and on the central auto-collector, place 2 small storage units. The auto-arms will collect resources and seeds from it.

3. Then, 2 arms take the seeds into a large container, and 2 arms take the resources into another large container.

A detailed diagram with labels is provided in the photo.

Attention!
All containers must be set to “resource output off” mode.

Currently, there is a bug in the game where auto-seeders stop working after reloading the game.
Bug fix: Turn the seeder off and on again using the F key.

Endless Scrap, Full Automation
Advanced Setup: Infinite Scrap and Full Automation

1. Seeds and large seeds are automatically collected by auto-arms onto the train platform. The train delivers them directly to the museum, eliminating the need to manually swap canisters.
2. The central platform includes a printer that produces canisters from resin. Auto-arms pick up these canisters and send them to the shredder.

Important:
The canisters with large seeds located in the bio-dome (in the first setup) must be set to “output mode” so that all large and regular seeds are automatically sent to the platform where auto-arms will pick them up.

This system is completely autonomous, requires no player intervention, and allows scrap to accumulate infinitely and steadily.
To produce scrap, you need plants that generate resin.

At the moment, my bio-dome has produced 50,000 units of seeds, which equals 1,500,000 points in the museum, and has generated a total of over 10,000 units of resources: resin, compounds, clay, quartz, graphite, and ammonium.

@Little Anxiety Plant Yes, you can use just one auto-planter by leaving the second slot empty. In this case, the resource collection speed will be halved.

@rudiche, ресурс для графита используй что на скринах с розовым ядром и чёрным корнем.

@Little Anxiety Plant, All new seeds give a small percentage of the chance of a large seed falling out. I have a bio dome configured for 1 type of seed as well as for 1 type of resource.

Little Anxiety Plant there are normal seeds and Mega variants of the new ones introduced in megatech

1, what do you mean by "seeds" and "large seeds?" 2, can this be done with only one auto-planter? I have no intention of using this for more than one type of seed.

which plant produces graphite?
