Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My feature request is related to problem of balance and product management.

Describe the solution you'd like
At first, I would like to ask to make liquid form of biomass. digester works fine with pipes from other mods. Why not to make liquid form of biofuel, which could be transferred with same means? It would make building of factories far more simple and stylish. constructions from flesh, pipes and metal always look awesome.
Second, now flesh blocks, lumps, eyes and other things aren't well... fleshy. They can't be processed through decomposer/chewer/digester. You can't eat them yourself. Yet, you can eat spider eye from vanilla minecraft. It would be very nice if we'll be able to eat all that things, chew them into crushed biomass, decompose them into bones/bonemeal and something.
Third, it would be very nice if there would be some kind of fabricator. Machine, which could process biomass and meat lumps into bones, bonemeal, meat, wither heads, health potions and, possibly, other things. Possibly, it should be cloner. We supply biomass, put flesh lumps and sample(or some kind of catalyst) inside and wait for desired product. Why? because such solution will make it possible to perform a closed loop cycle with flesh blobs. Make flesh blob, feed it with something, kill it, harvest it's flesh, chew it, digest it, regrow all needed supplies to make one more. Rince, repeat. Triumph of biopunk.
Possibly, there should be late game solution, how to spawn flesh blobs automatically.Possibly, it might pop from evolution pool if it supplied with certain reagents.

Describe alternatives you've considered
First one could be solved differently. What if all machines, which are adjacent to each other, or to flesh blocks will have united biomass capacity? Bonus style points if there would be fleshy hopper alternative to transfer supplies between machines.
There could be lazy solution for 2. Just chew it in crushed biomass without any hestitation.
Alternative solution for flesh blob spawn could be cell division. There could be special kind of food, which blob will eat and divide. After consumption of that food, blob will reduce it's size by two and will spawn other little blob nearby. Blob size less than 3 will die if will eat it.

Additional context
Thank you very much for your mod. I like it very much.

after some thinking, I concluded, that liquid biofuel is far more simple to implement and far more convenient.
