How to make Mucin in Oxygen Not Included

0.81 Mucin take 1 × Ovolene, at the Gleaner in 1s. Mucin is used in 6 recipes.

How to get Mucin

Mucin is a liquid from The Aquatic Planet Pack DLC. The steadiest source is a Gleaner refining Seaquine Ovolene, and Slogo critters also secrete it.

Crafting

  • Gleaner: A Gleaner turns Ovolene into Mucin at 810 g/s for each 1 kg/s of input, with a little Caviar and Carbon Dioxide on the side. [1][2]

Other ways

  • Aquatic Milking Station: Ovolene comes from milking Seaquines at an Aquatic Milking Station, 100 kg per milking. [3]
  • Beach biome: Slogos in the Beach biome leave a Mucin trail of up to 30 kg per cycle, but only while their moisture is below 100%. [1][4]
  • Boiling Squid Ink, milked from Glo Squids, leaves about 90% Mucin and 10% Refined Carbon. [1]

Tips

  • Keep Mucin below 90 °C (194 °F), where it cooks into Polluted Water and Slime. Below -10 °C (14 °F) it freezes. [1]
  • Slogo Mucin can float above a shallow puddle and leave the Slogo dry. Plan the pen floor, for example with mesh tiles. [4]
