Biofuel
Biofuel is the renewable fluid the fermenter brews endlessly from organic matter in Ala Industrial — feedstock for nutrient solution, not generator fuel.
Description
The distillation column is the only consumer of Biofuel: 1000 mB plus 400 EU distills into 900 mB of nutrient solution, and the 10 % volume loss is the mod's general rule of processing. The nutrient solution then feeds the sprinkler that speeds up crops, so one bucket of Biofuel equals 18 waterings. The c:combustion_fuels tag that collects diesel, fuel oil and lava does not include Biofuel, because at this stage of Ala Industrial the agriculture chain needs a feedstock rather than a second power source. Biofuel runs only on Minecraft Java Edition, with both the Fabric and the NeoForge loaders supported.

Java Edition Guide
How to get Biofuel in Ala Industrial
-
1
Build and power the fermenter
Craft the fermenter, an LV machine, and connect a cable to any face except the front one: the machine draws 2 EU/t and accepts up to 32 EU/t.
-
2
Fill the water tank
Pour source water into the fermenter: place a full bucket or vacuum capsule into the fill slot, or pipe water in with the pump. Every batch drinks 100 mB of water.
-
3
Load the organic feedstock
Put organic matter into the input slot. Four poor items (seeds, grass, leaves) brew 20 mB, two common items (harvest, raw meat, eggs) brew 60 mB, and one rich item (cooked food, honey, a hay bale) brews 150 mB per batch of 600 EU and 300 ticks.
-
4
Drain the Biofuel
Collect the finished Biofuel with an empty bucket or vacuum capsule in the draw slot, or run a fluid pipe from the output tank into a portable tank.
-
5
Distill the nutrient solution
Feed 1000 mB of Biofuel into the input tank of the distillation column and supply 400 EU: the column outputs 900 mB of nutrient solution for the sprinkler.
No generator in Ala Industrial burns Biofuel, so plan fluid tanks and a distillation column instead of a fuel line. The fermenter accepts source water only, not flowing water.

Frequently asked questions
Is Biofuel a renewable resource?
Yes. Biofuel is brewed by the fermenter from organic matter that gardens, pens and compost heaps produce endlessly, unlike the finite oil lakes of the fossil branch.
How much Biofuel does one fermenter batch brew?
Four poor items brew 20 mB, two common items 60 mB, and one rich item 150 mB. Every batch costs 600 EU, 300 ticks and 100 mB of water.
Can Biofuel power a generator?
No. No generator in Ala Industrial burns Biofuel, and the fluid is not part of the c:combustion_fuels tag that holds diesel, fuel oil and lava.
What is Biofuel used for?
Distillation. The distillation column turns 1000 mB of Biofuel plus 400 EU into 900 mB of nutrient solution, which the sprinkler sprays on crops — 18 waterings per bucket.
Does Biofuel spawn in the world or exist on Bedrock?
Neither. Biofuel never generates naturally — the fermenter is its only source — and Ala Industrial is a Java Edition mod for Fabric and NeoForge.
