Agitation is one of the hidden values all slimes have which determines which standard facial expression slimes assume in relation to their agitation and hunger values, and is the primary trigger for how often their negative behaviors occur. It takes roughly 48 in-game hours to reach 100% agitation.
Agitation modifiers
Agitation naturally decays as the slime becomes hungry, and there are outside modifiers which can affect the rate of agitation in various ways;
Feeding
Feeding a slime is the only way to completely lower agitation and restore it to a happy state. However, it can only eat when it is hungry. Feeding a slime its favorite food will reduce its agitation by 30%. Feeding it anything else will reduce agitation by 15%.
Water and Ancient Water
Water and Ancient Water are not only capable of negating negative behaviors for 20 seconds, but it can also reduce the agitation of slimes by 10%.
Music Box
The Music Box is an upgrade to the Corral which halves natural agitation growth.
Slime Toys
Slime Toys are purchasable items unlocked through the 7Zee Rewards Club which reduces the natural rate of agitation growth by 12.5%, or 25% if any toy in range favored by the slimes. Additional Slime Toys do not stack their effects, but can stack with a Music Box.
Tangle Slime Pollen
Tangle Slimes produce a pollen aura which doubles the natural rate of agitation growth. Multiple pollen auras do not stack this effect. Other Tangle Slimes are immune to this effect.
Fire Slime Contact
Fire Slimes on fire can severely agitate slimes on contact by approximately 33.33%
Other Fire Slimes are immune to this effect.
Negative behaviors
Certain slimes have negative behaviors which are performed much more frequently or made apparent once they reach a certain agitation state. Many of these behaviors can be suppressed for 20 seconds by splashing the slime with Water or Ancient Water. This includes:
- Rock Slime rolling frequency is reduced by 1 second per action at 100% agitation, making them roll more often.
- Boom Slime explosion frequency is reduced by 1 second per action at 100% agitation, making them explode more often.
- Crystal Slime crystal production is reduced by 1 second per action at 100% agitation, making them produce crystals more frequently.
- Hunter Slime Largos can go feral at 99.99% agitation.
- Quantum Slimes will change places with one of their illusionary clones, starting at 20%, and produce them at a faster rate; by default ghost production is limited to every 20 seconds, and at 100% agitation the time is reduced to 5 seconds.
- Mosaic Slime glint production is reduced by 1 second per action at 100% agitation, making them produce glints more frequently. they also can not produce glints while below 20% agitation, and the radius at which they can be produced increases at 95%
- Dervish Slimes will produce large tornados at 95% agitation.
- Tangle Slimes produce pollen which causes nearby slimes to sneeze, agitating them. they begin doing this at 75% agitation.

Trivia
- Gold Slimes and Lucky Slimes are susceptable to hunger and agitation like any other slime. Due to their rarity and despawning mechanics, this does not normally come into play under normal circumstances.
- Tarr are also subjected to agitation, although are set to 100% every frame.
