Frozen Phyto Oil is an element in Oxygen Not Included consisting of a thick, slippery extract derived from slime that has been frozen into a solid state. It is the solidified form of a viscous biological extract — described in various localizations as a dense, glistening, and slick puree or sludge extract — that has had its fluid properties arrested by freezing. The element’s defining characteristics are its high viscosity in liquid form and its current solid form when frozen, resulting in a block of material that retains the texture qualities of the original slime extract but behaves as a solid.
Frozen Phyto Oil appears and is referenced in multiple localization sources under names that emphasize its nature as a frozen, plant‑derived or phyto-based oil extracted from slime or sludge. Descriptive terms across languages consistently call attention to its density and slipperiness: thick, slick, pureed sludge or slime that has become solid through freezing. Those translations reflect the same underlying concept: a concentrated biological extract (phyto oil) that changes phase into a solid state when cooled.
Physical and practical notes:
Texture and feel: The material is characterized as dense and slippery; it presents the tactile qualities of a viscous extract that has been frozen, rather than a crystalline or brittle solid.
Origin: The substance is an extract of slime/sludge materials, concentrated into a greasy or oily puree before freezing.
State: The present state is solid due to freezing; equivalent unfrozen forms are implied to be highly viscous liquids or purees.
Do not assume properties not explicitly stated by the descriptions. The available descriptions establish only that Frozen Phyto Oil is a frozen, solidified form of a thick, slippery phyto/slime extract. Any mechanical behaviors, interactions, melting temperatures, chemical properties, or in‑game uses beyond this core definition are not specified in the provided localization sources and should be confirmed against in-game data or authoritative game documentation before being treated as fact.
