Frost Bun

Frost Bun is a food item produced from Sleet Wheat grain and used as a basic cooked ration for Duplicants. It is not edible directly from the plant; Sleet Wheat must be processed and cooked into Frost Bun (also referred to in some sources as Frost Burger when combined differently) using a Gas Range or Electric Grill. Each Sleet Wheat harvest yields multiple Frost Bun recipes' worth of grain, making Frost Buns an efficient early- to mid-game staple.

Frost Bun production chain begins with Sleet Wheat. A single Sleet Wheat harvest produces 18 Sleet Wheat grain; those grains are processed into Frost Bun at a cooking station. The Electric Grill produces six Frost Bun orders per harvest cycle when tied to Sleet Wheat output, which allows steady food supply with relatively few plants. Feeding Duplicants exclusively on Frost Buns requires about 2.5 domestic / 10 wild Sleet Wheat plants per duplicant, or, if using Megafrond (a 3x3 crop that produces 4 grains per cycle), about 0.625 domestic / 2.5 wild plants per duplicant.

Frost Buns behave like other cooked foods for hunger and morale purposes and stack/consume similarly in ration management. They can be cooked into a Frost Burger on a Gas Range if further recipe conversion is desired. Frost Buns are useful for establishing a low-maintenance food infrastructure because of the high yield of Sleet Wheat and the Electric Grill’s batch efficiency. Manage crop placement and growth conditions for Sleet Wheat (usually cold biomes or controlled chilled farms) to ensure continuous production.

Practical notes and tips:

• Plan plant counts around the stated plant-per-duplicant ratios to avoid food shortages or overplanting.
• Use an Electric Grill to maximize throughput; it produces six orders per harvest cycle when matched to Sleet Wheat yields.
• Megafrond reduces the number of plants required due to higher per-plant grain output, making it an efficient choice where room is limited.
• Because Sleet Wheat requires cold conditions, integrate insulated or biome-appropriate farming areas and refrigeration where necessary to maintain consistent harvest cycles.
• Store and schedule cooking to smooth out production spikes from simultaneous harvests.
