How Players Get Jelly

Jelly items are available from the central item shop.
Resource Converter
Unused ants can be fed into the Resource Converter to work toward useful items including Jelly.

Use the strongest speed Jelly on the ants contributing the most Food, especially during a focused farming session. Faster trips help production while sell timing still determines the value of the final Cash conversion.
