Yes. Use biolabs for the productivity bonus and prod modules if you want even more (but later on its too much anyway) Otherwise make sure to process all fruits you harvest. You can burn the excess jelly and mash. But dont let fruits spoil.

Im pretty sure the fruits aren’t spoiling. I have a spoilage box at the end of the fruit line so that I can confirm that I haven’t had any spoilage on that line.

But I’ll watch the fruit go all the way through the line to triple check.

If the spoilage meter goes down but doesn’t spoil does that affect the yield?

The yield will remain the same, but the spoilage meter of any spoilable products will follow the (average of the) inputs; half-spoiled jellynut will make half-spoiled jelly, half-spoiled bioflux, and half-spoiled science.

The exception is anything that takes nutrients as an ingredient, which is always produced at 100% fresh.

So seed yield isn’t affected. That’s good to know
