    What Gel Sacks Are For

    Planting Gel Sacks in Subnautica.

    Gel Sacks are edible flora in Subnautica. Unlike other edible lifeforms in the game, this one won’t rot when it stays in your inventory for a long time. However, they don’t provide as much water and food compared to other lifeforms.

    Gel Sacks are also used to craft Aerogel, a very useful raw material used to craft items such as the Stillsuit, Thermal Plant, and the Prawn Suit.

    If you put a Gel Sack in a Bioreactor, this will give you 245 worth of energy.

    As you can see, you can use Gel Sacks for a lot of things. You can make things easier for yourself by planting them in an Exterior Growbed so you don’t have to constantly swim back and forth from your base to the biomes listed above.
