Changes: Utilities

Latest revision as of 23:27, 6 August 2019

"Tools for getting the job done."

Utilities are a class of gadget used in Slime Science.

It focuses more on a wide variety of applications rather than a specific one, ranging from health regeneration out in the field, to catching Gordo Slimes.

Most Utilities have a two minute cooldown after installing them to a Gadget Spot, meaning they cannot immediately be exploited for their effects. During this time, they do not function. Gordo Snares and Drones do not have a build cooldown.

-==Tips==
-*As said before, it's useful to put Hydro Turrets in many places around the [[Far, Far Range]], especially in areas prone to Tarr infestations, as they can help you with fending them off.
-*It is completely possible to get the master gordo snare before the advanced one.
-*You can lure feral slimes to a Taming Bell, which will calm them down.
-**That also counts for hunter ferals that you can make, so get a Taming Bell!
-*When using a Gordo Snare; it's important to note that for non-master snares, using the favorite food does not guarantee the equivalent [[Slimes|slime]], though using meat, for example, always attracts meat-eating slimes, or using veggies, guarantees veggie-eating slimes. The only exception to this is [[Gold Slime|Gold Gordos]], which can only be baited when using a [[Gilded Ginger]]; however, if a non-master snare is used, other veggie-eating gordos can appear.
-**Using a [[Carrot]], [[Pogofruit]], [[Hen Hen]] or [[Kookadoba]] for example, always summons a Pink Gordo on a master snare.
