Board Thread:Off-Topic and Fan Made Slimes/@comment-39115242-20190902054007

'This idea was originally in the page for slimes, but was moved here to prevent a good portion of the comments being covered by mine. And given this is my first fan made Slime, it might not be pretty.' So, I know people have probably already made this slime, but here's what I think it'd be like: The idea I have would definitely have to involve another feature, since I don't exactly want to shoe in a slime somewhere without an explanation, which is why I decided to make my own concept of... Weather Events Much like a firestorm, Weather Events can happen in several places, some more often, others fairly rarely. For this instance, though, we'll be covering stuff mainly about Thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are events that can occur in the Moss Blanket, Indigo Quarry, and Ancient Ruins. They occur after sunrise, and finish at sunset. During Thunderstorms, lightning will occasionally strike down, and can damage the player for around 7-15 HP, but only applies if you're actually within its vicinity. Each given location has a chance of having a thunderstorm, each location can have it multiple times, and all three locations can have it at once (So there could be a thunderstorm in the MB, IQ, and AR after sunrise, then the MB can have it two more times while the AR has it once before sunset). I could expand on the concept of weather if wanted, though, which I might. As for the chances of Thunderstorms occuring: Moss Blanket Thunderstorm Chance: 1/16 Reason: It's like a Rainforest, but I don't think it'd rain too much around there. Indigo Quarry Thunderstorm Chance: 1/32 Reason: To be fair, I think an Earthquake would more likely hit this place than a Thunderstorm. Ancient Ruins Thunderstorm Chance: 1/8 Reason: Since the Ancient Ruins is one of my favorite places in Slime Rancher, it'd be pretty cool to see a Thunderstorm happen here. Not to mention you could watch the rain there and listen to the calming music of the ruins. Anyways, onto the other side of the spectrum!

Plasma Slime (A Sky Blue-esque Slime that emits an electric field)

Occurance: Moss Blanket, Indigo Quarry, Ancient Ruins (During thunderstorms)

Diet: Fruits

If threatened, the Plasma Slime will fling anything circling it towards the threat (It can also try grabbing Tarr Slimes and chucking them away as well)

Slimepedia Entries:

Plasma Slime - "A shocking scientific discovery with a bright smile"

Slimeology - Plasma Slimes are quite common for those who choose to brave the thunderstorms in the Far, Far Range. While they're energetic, bubbly, and bright, they aren't defenseless. They can create a magnetic field around them and pull items towards them, then fire them away. They also leave an electric trail when they move.

Rancher Risks - While the Plasma Slime isn't too deadly, it will take unsuspecting ranchers by surprise, as it occasionally throws anything in its magnetic field at random. These items might damage ranchers who aren't fast enough to dodge them. Their magnetic field, much like Rad Slimes, can also damage ranchers who stay in them for too long. Their electric trail, however, doesn't do too much damage, but it still gives a little tingly feeling if you're in it for too long.

Plortonomics - Plasma Plorts are desired for their ability to generate magnetic fields, and weaker plorts can be used for magnets of all kinds, such as fridge magnets, horseshoe magnets, they can even be used for high-quality metal detectors! Some people even use it for a more futuristic aesthetic in their residence, as the magnetic field a Plasma Plort generates acts similarly to the Plasma Slime itself, but allows for more control over what is in the electric field and what isn't. Some scientists believe the electric fields may also be the future of travel, with their ability to produce high amounts of energy.

Orange Volt - "Contains a ton of Citrus Maxima and Vitamin C"

About - Seeds are naturally planted as lightning strikes the Moss Blanket, Indigo Quarry, and Ancient Ruins... or does the lightning make the seeds sprout? The world will never know. While Orange Volt trees never naturally grow, the Orange Volt seeds produce several fully grown Orange Volts as soon as lightning strikes, however, Orange Volts also get coated with an electric aura that zaps slimes and ranchers on equal amounts. It's best to wait the few seconds before trying to either consume or collect the wild Orange Volts.

On the Ranch - Deposit an orange volt into a garden's depositor and you'll grow a large orange volt tree of your own.

Slime Toy:

Lightning Rod: Reduces agitation of nearby slimes, especially Plasma Slimes who could really use a spark in their step.
