Magnet Slime "How do they work?"

Diet: Vegetables Plort:  Neodymium  plort  Occurrence: Indigo Quarry, rare

Slimeology:

Magnet Slimes, also known as Neodymium Slimes, are quite different to Pink Slimes, as they are very elusive, can only be found in the Indigo Quarry, and only eat vegetables. Otherwise, they are very often confused for a Pink Slime, due to the Pink hue they would have under normal lighting. But depending on the type of light, the hue becomes yellow. The reason for this is very complicated and interesting.

Rancher Risks:

As these Slimes blend in with regular Pink Slimes, there is a slight chance of sucking up one amongst a few pink ones. Due to the magnetic properties, they aren't really harmful to yourself, but they can cause electronics to act up, causing your Vac to sort them in with the Pink Slimes you suck up. Once you get them back to the Ranch, and out of your Vac, they begin causing your machines to malfunction. Gardens stop sprinkling, Silos spitting out items, Corrals stop working properly. Ranchers are advised to flash their flashlight at a group of Pink slimes, to make sure no Magnet Slimes are amongst their group, otherwise they should be kept away from electronics. Try keeping them in a free range area like The Overgrowth.

You can also tell a Magnet Slime by throwing drilled resources at it and seeing if anything sticks... just like real science!

Plortonomics:

The Plorts themselves do not have magnetic properties. The slime gains it's magnetic properties through a blend of other metals found in the Indigo Quarry. For this reason, they can be used to create powerful magnets by blending with other metals.

The Plorts by themselves, are used to make special lenses, which are used in photography, and to make really, really, I mean, really powerful lasers.
