Plorts

Note that Rad, Meteor, Mosaic, and Hunter plorts aren't here as these slimes have yet to be implemented.

Usage
Plorts are produced by Slimes when fed. The main use of Plorts is to generate Newbucks by selling them in the Plort Market. Certain Plorts sell for more than others. When fed their favorite food, slimes drop two Plorts instead of just one.

Plortonomics
Plorts are very useful for a variety of purposes at companies. While this is not visually shown, it is mentioned in the game. They range from power sources, food and drinks, to even military weaponry. Plorts are vital to industries outside of the Far Far Range.

Prices
When you begin the game, every plort will start with following prices:

Pink - 7

Phosphor, Tabby, Rock - 15

Boom, Honey, Puddle - 30

Gold - 200

Depending on how you sell them, their prices might fluctuate from 50% to 250% of base price.

Largos
Plorts can also be fed to slimes of an alternate species to transform the slime into a Largo Slime.

Advantages
Largo Slimes drop two Plorts, one for each of its slime type. If you feed it one of its slime type's favored food, it gives two of that slime's Plort and (As of version 0.2.6) two of the other.

Disadvantages
Slimes and Largo Slimes do not eat the Plorts they produce. If a Largo Slime eats a Plort that is not one of its types, it turns into a Tarr.

Biology
Plorts are the product of feeding slimes. Plorts share qualities in appearance with the slime that produced them, this makes it easy to identify the different plorts.

When a slime first makes a plort it comes encased in a gel-like material that goes away quickly. When the plort is in this substance it can not be eaten by another slime to become a largo, but it can still be vacuumed up by you.

The plorts of a slime are not its poop, do not be mistaken! They are excess mass that a slime separates from its body after eating, otherwise it would grow forever. (maybe)



Tips

 * It should be noted that Plort prices fluctuate from day to day based on how often you sell a particular Plort along with slight randomization. You should sell expensive Plorts in bursts by keeping them stored in the corral, an auto collector, or a silo. Hoard them while the prices are low, and sell them when their prices reach a peak.
 * Puddle Plorts can be used to refill ponds when it splashes the bottom.
