I'll have to look into which other vegetables would work for obtaining starch. I'm pretty sure potato starch is somewhat unique in terms of its use as an egg replacer, and I'm not sure which starches are useful for bioplastic. I used potato starch specifically because I know it's possible to create your own potato starch-based bioplastic without any fancy techniques.

What about Corn Starch, if Harvestcraft or another modding adding corn is installed?

You could also do Tapioca, though there aren't any mods that I am aware of aside from Plant Mega Pack that add Cassava.

Yeah, corn seems reasonable. Will add that.
