Bog Jelly

Bog Jelly is a raw food item in Oxygen Not Included used as a consumable for Duplicants and as feed for certain critters. It appears as a cultivated product harvested from Bog Buckets and is listed in game data under the English name Bog Jelly.

Bog Jelly is produced by Bog Buckets. Typical resource analysis from Chinese and English sources indicates one cycle of production yields 1 unit of Bog Jelly for the inputs of approximately 6.6 Bog Buckets consuming 264 kg of Polluted Water per cycle. If Bog Jelly is used as the sole food source for a colony, each duplicant requires about 0.54 units per cycle, which scales the required inputs to about 3.6 Bog Buckets and 144 kg Polluted Water per duplicant per cycle.

Bog Jelly can be cooked in an Electric Grill into Swampy Delights. It also serves as feed for some ranchables: a Lumb will eat Bog Jelly and convert 1300 kcal of it into 300 kg Peat, while a Blum Lumb fed the same caloric amount produces 198 kg Algae. These conversions are 50% more output by mass compared to feeding Ovagro Figs or Bristle Berries. Feeding requirements imply that a single Lumb requires about 4.67 domesticated Bog Buckets to be fully fed under the stated ratios.

Practical notes and usage tips:

• When planning Bog Jelly production at scale, account primarily for Polluted Water as the limiting input; the stated rates tie production tightly to Polluted Water throughput from your plumbing or treatment systems.
• Using Bog Jelly as a primary food source reduces crop variety needs but increases Polluted Water consumption; calculate production chaining carefully if you plan to rely on Bog Jelly for multiple duplicants.
• Bog Jelly is a useful feedstock for Lumbs and Blum Lumbs to generate Peat or Algae more mass-efficiently than some plant foods. Use it where you need mass conversion (Peat for carbon sinks, Algae for oxygen systems) rather than as direct Duplicant nutrition.
• Cook Bog Jelly in an Electric Grill to produce Swampy Delights for improved meal variety and morale effects compared to raw servings.
• Storage and handling: treat Bog Jelly as a perishable food item; keep it in refrigerated or appropriate storage to avoid spoilage if you intend to use it over multiple cycles.
• When estimating ranching support, remember the provided ratio: one fully fed Lumb needs roughly 4.67 domesticated Bog Buckets; factor this into space and water planning for large ranches.

Do not confuse Bog Jelly with other food items; when consulting multilingual sources, Bog Jelly corresponds to the Chinese term 沼浆果冻 and is linked to production from Bog Buckets (沼浆笼).
