Nutrient Solution Bucket
Nutrient Solution Bucket carries 1000 mB of Ala Industrial's only non-fuel fluid — enough for 20 sprinkler waterings that ripen crops like bone meal.
Description
The sprinkler is the solution's only consumer. Right-clicking the machine with a Nutrient Solution Bucket pours 1000 mB into the 4000 mB tank — twenty 50 mB shots, and each ripens one vanilla crop exactly like bone meal, while the emptied bucket lands in the return slot. The sprinkler draws no EU at all, so a Nutrient Solution Bucket is its whole running cost. Inside a crystal greenhouse the same 50 mB buys one finished crystal, a third growth axis (÷2) on top of water and EU. The full loop runs on farmed resources: about 17 fermenter batches — roughly 10 000 EU and 34 harvest items — net one bucket of biofuel, which becomes 900 mB of solution; the field feeds the fermenter, and two distillations later the sprinkler speeds the same field up.

How to get and use a Nutrient Solution Bucket
-
1
Distil biofuel a second time
Feed 1000 mB of biofuel into the distillation column and pay 400 EU: the second cracking pass returns 900 mB of nutrient solution from the top condenser outlet.
-
2
Fill an empty bucket
Scoop the nutrient solution with an empty vanilla bucket at a source of the fluid; the filled container is a Nutrient Solution Bucket holding 1000 mB.
-
3
Refill the sprinkler
Right-click the sprinkler with a Nutrient Solution Bucket in hand or drop the bucket into the fill slot: 1000 mB flows into the 4000 mB tank and the empty bucket lands in the return slot.
-
4
Speed up the crystal greenhouse
Place a sprinkler inside the greenhouse room: every 50 mB of solution buys one finished crystal, a third growth axis (÷2) on top of water and EU.
A Nutrient Solution Bucket feeds the sprinkler only. No generator in Ala Industrial accepts nutrient solution, the sprinkler itself consumes no EU at all, and a full 4000 mB tank holds 80 waterings — about 80 seconds of continuous spraying.

Frequently asked questions
How much nutrient solution does one bucket hold?
One Nutrient Solution Bucket holds 1000 mB, which pays for 20 sprinkler waterings at 50 mB each; the sprinkler's 4000 mB tank takes four full buckets.
How do I get a Nutrient Solution Bucket?
Scoop nutrient solution with an empty vanilla bucket at a source of the fluid. The solution itself comes only from the distillation column: 1000 mB of biofuel plus 400 EU yield 900 mB on the second distilling pass.
Can nutrient solution power a generator?
No. Nutrient solution is the only Ala Industrial fluid with no energy value, no generator accepts it, and the sprinkler stays its single consumer in the whole mod.
Does the sprinkler need EU to spray?
No. The sprinkler consumes no EU at all and no cable even connects to it, so the Nutrient Solution Bucket is the machine's only running cost.
What does nutrient solution do in the crystal greenhouse?
Inside a greenhouse the solution buys crystals, not attempts: 50 mB is charged per crystal actually produced, halving growth time (÷2) as the third acceleration axis alongside water and EU.
