(I know that this amounts to a complete rework of Gleba and I'm sorry)

TL;DR
"Bioclay", a spoilable Gleban product which the bioreactor can make into any basic recipe with no other ingredients.

What ?
Conceptually, Bioclay is a mass of special bacteria and fungi with a rich suspension of ...

TL;DR
An endgame super-valuable resource which decays very quickly, can only be harvested in space, and spawns more frequently for high-speed vessels.

What ?

Exotic particles would be a space-only resource which decays very quickly - lost if not used within seconds of harvest, so there's no ...

So I think having quality not impact science is actually intentional - and a good thing. It means you maintain a use for lower-quality products, rather than just having the entire factory be "quality".

Lamps as biter "Bait" sounds like the more interesting idea to me. That said, it's also fine to have them be only situationally useful, and not for everyone. I frequently made lamps work as signals about the health of my factory - like, blueprints would feature warning lights if my accumulators had ...

TL;DR
Gleba should produce a new "bio-module" which offers powerful benefits but decays over time.

What ?
A new type of module - "bio module" - would be added, produced on Gleba. The modules would have many benefits over existing modules:

improving multiple aspects (speed AND productivity ...

Okay I'm late but here goes:

The biolab isn't the answer - it only improves the end of the chain, which is less interesting, and it being Nauvis-only makes Gleba just inherently less rewarding. Instead:

- Bioflux should be an additive to a bunch of consumable final products that makes them better ...
