I just finished getting the Plortmaster achievement, and along the way with the help of a guide I found I managed to get a decent score for my second attempt. I recommend giving it a look if you'd like a lot of very useful information, but here's kinda a brief summary of things that I used the most along my way;

- The teleporters will be your friend, and it's a good idea to plop one of each down initially so you can create bridges as soon as you get to each of the different areas (so you don't have to run back to your ranch to connect them.) Also, be careful of putting only one of each color, because otherwise you won't be able to pick them up again and you'll teleport to the same area.

- Watch out for the exchanges, and try to fill them as quickly as possible. This means opening up the map pretty fast, but you only need about 5 slime keys to unlock the basic areas of play, so try to go for some of the easier Gordos (ie. easier favourites to get).

- Don't use the gilded gingers you get for anything but popping the Golden Gordos. Use some other type of food for the Gold Slimes since you still get two from them, and the game will give you exactly enough for all of the Gordos spread around the map. Also, be careful that no passing slimes accidentally eat the gilded ginger when you're collecting them. This...happened to me the first time I attempted this and it reaaaaaally doesn't help much XD

- You have a market link in your gadgets, so try to pick up as many wild plorts as you can so that you can get the 25 plort bonuses. They don't add to the newbucks you get from each plort, but they'll add to the final score you get, even if they're cheaper ones.

- Try to push for the expensive plorts from the start. Pick a few good Largo combinations that provide many monies (such as Tangle/Dervish. Tangle/Mosaic, really any combo of Glass Desert slimes, although both Crystal and the Moss Blanket slimes are very good too). Also, collect the food that the environment gives you since growing should be reserved for ranching your corraled slimos.

- Any pods you come across are good, but don't try to search for them, as they just add a little bonus to your total but take time to get to.

- One thing I didn't know was that both the Glass Desert and the Ancient Ruins are open, but the fountains in the Desert are not. You will need to bring Rock plorts with you to activate the fountain near the Tangle Gordo so that you can get some slime friends spawning in the wild.

Anyway, I hope these help you on your journey ^^ Good luck, and happy hunting friend!
