The Mars grass produces 200 Animal Food in addition to the cellulose. The best part about the Mars grass is that you can harvest it, and it will regrow in ~1 hour.

One good idea for steady cellulose production is sending 2 Mars Rovers and a Robotic Analyzer. The Mars Rovers will produce exactly the number of Samples that the Robotic Analyzer can handle. Some samples will place a lichen on Mars, some won't. The fun part is the Lichen will be placed anywhere there is n empty space, so you may have trouble finding the Lichen to harvest.

Just have to keep on using the Rovers and Robotic Analyzers in a 2:1 ratio to get the samples you need to slowly get Lichen. Once you get your first bit of Mars Grass, your cellulose gathering will speed up rapidly.
