Build An Ant Empire Jelly Guide
Jelly is a temporary speed boost you feed to your ants. Each Speed Jelly multiplies ant movement speed for a set duration, which means more food collected per cycle and more Cash at the Sell station. This page covers every jelly type, how to get them, and which ant deserves them.
ALL JELLIES
Every Speed Jelly Explained
Costs are the Item Shop prices. All jellies are single-use boosts.
| Jelly | Speed Boost | Duration | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prismatic Speed Jelly | 2.5x | 15 minutes | $100Qa |
| Super Speed Jelly | 2x | 15 minutes | $10T |
| Strong Speed Jelly | 1.6x | 10 minutes | $100M |
| Normal Speed Jelly | 1.3x | 5 minutes | $10k |
How Jelly Works
Equip, then let them run: the boost applies to the ants it is equipped on, and faster ants shuttle more food boxes to the collection station in the same window.
Stack with Mutations: Jelly multiplies collection speed while Mutations multiply food value (EFF), so the two together are the biggest jump in Cash per cycle available.
Time it with a code: a code Cash boost plus a Speed Jelly turns one 15-minute session into a serious farm window.
Which Ant Should Get Jelly?
Speed boosts matter most on the ants that produce the most food — there is no point speeding up a Common.
Your best earner
Highest food-output ant gets the strongest jelly first. It pays back the cost fastest.
Mutated ants
A mutated ant with a big EFF multiplier profits most from more trips per minute.
Session timing
Apply jellies at the start of a play session, not mid-grind, to use the full duration.
