Curried Beans

Curried Beans is a cooked food item prepared by duplicants in Oxygen Not Included. It is produced at a Gas Range and serves as a high-utility meal option for duplicants' hunger and morale needs.

Curried Beans requires two ingredients: Nourishing Root and Snack Bean. Each unit of Curried Beans consumes 4 units of Nourishing Root and 4 units of Snack Bean. Production is performed at a Gas Range under normal recipe settings; the building must be supplied with the required raw ingredients and available cook labor.

Curried Beans fits into standard food logistics: it can be stored in food storage or refrigerators and will be consumed by duplicants to restore calories and provide typical food quality effects (hunger satisfaction and morale). Like other prepared meals, production scales with the Gas Range workload and available ingredients; prioritize a steady supply of Snack Beans and Nourishing Roots to keep production continuous.

Practical notes and interactions:

• Plan ingredient supply chains: Snack Beans typically come from ranching or plant farming of the appropriate crop, while Nourishing Root is grown from its seed. Ensure stable farms or ranches and automated delivery routes to the Gas Range.
• Refrigeration preserves Curried Beans longer and prevents spoilage; place a Refrigerator or proper insulated storage adjacent to the kitchen to reduce food waste.
• Curried Beans consumes equal quantities of both ingredients per unit, so shortages in either ingredient will throttle production; monitor both resource stocks.
• Use food storage jobs and conveyor/piping systems (where available) to automate movement between farms, cookstations, and dining areas.
• When replacing other cooked meals, compare ingredient availability and cooking time to determine whether Curried Beans is the most resource-efficient option for your base’s stage and biome resources.
