Gel Sack (Subnautica)

The Gel Sack is a non-hazardous edible type of life form belonging to the flora category.

It can usually be found attached to the walls of caves. It can be either picked up or harvested for Gel Sack Spores by using a Knife. Both items can then be planted in an Exterior Growbed.

The easiest place to find Gel Sacks is inside of a narrow trench (446, -29, -132) in the Safe Shallows, near the small wreck closest to the Aurora. They can also be found abundantly in the Lost River and Deep Grand Reef. A few Gel Sacks can also be found around the roots and on the trunk of the Giant Tree Mushroom in the Northwestern Mushroom Forest.

Appearance
The Gel Sack is hemispheric in shape and has a black surface covered with thick, twisted ridges. Randomly scattered across its surface are protruding, bioluminescent pink spots.

Trivia

 * The Gel Sack was originally called the Jelly Plant and the Spore Sack.
 * Gel Sacks are unique among edible flora in that they will not rot and can be stored indefinitely.
 * Gel Sacks are also one of the only edibles that will not trigger a 'blood loss detected' effect, no matter how many are eaten at one time.
 * When harvesting Gel Sack spores with a knife, Gel Sacks grown in an exterior growbed can be struck up to 3 times to generate 3 spores before being destroyed. It worth noting that spores can be collected without actually destroying the Gel Sack by striking the Gel Sack only 1-2 times with a knife. This means that it is possible to generate spores while retaining the Gel Sack itself for other uses (i.e. food, energy, aerogel).
 * It takes 3 strikes from a normal knife or 2 strikes from a hardened knife to destroy a Gel Sack grown in an exterior growbed.
 * A single marblemelon provides +22 Food, +15 H20 and +110 Energy in a bioreactor and takes up 2x2 inventory slots. In comparison, 4 Gel Sacks provide +20 Food, +16 H20 and +100 bioreactor energy in the same amount of inventory space, with the advantage of being nonperishable.
