The trailer did say more Slimes. Maybe we're getting more than just the Glitch Slime. Maybe Viktor's lab will be more than just another minigame area.Honey Slimes and Hunter Slimes are still my favorites.I also like Hunter Slimes, but I still don't have a favorite. Maybe there could be one in the newest update unless they already announced that there wouldn't be any.

————————————————————————————————-
Investigations of Slimeobiology and Slime Science Tools
Unfortunately, I cannot experiment with slimes. If you have any samples, feel free to send them.
Based on the work of Colton Blake, leading Earth Slimeobiologist
Slimes (limus animalia, or ‘gelatinous animal / mud animal’) are complex creatures, but a basic field of biology, however. The complexity of slimes shows that biology at the higher, more complex levels, can and sometimes will get more complicated fast1. Slimeobiology (sli-may-o-bi-olo-gee) can be used as a basic way of teaching biology, and past events on the Far, Far Range, at least according to certain leading slimeobiologists, are good examples of how biology, history, and geology are heavily linked.
1For example, how you think and how your brain works. Brain stuff and such.
‘Present-Day’ Slimeobiology - Example: Honey Slime
Slimes have evolved into their more-than-dozen varieties due to lack or excesses of food, different types of food, environments and food locations. For example, in the Moss Blanket, there are Mint Mango trees up high, and Honey Slimes have very sweet plorts. The common explanation for the sweet plorts are due to the sweetness of fruit that the Honey Slimes often eat, and the honey crest’s explanation is often as protection. That is only part of the reason. The theory is being put out that the crest is a photosynthesis plant, meaning that the slime is a combination of flora, fauna, and single-celled organisms (more about this later.), and eating fruit is a habit since, because the honey slime is a slime just like the others, it knows that it is getting adenosine triphosphate (ATP, again later) most of the time, but it feels hungry because either it is merely a habit like said earlier, it is in an area without enough light, or the crest does not generate enough ATP. The reason for the sweet plorts is the remaining ATP after eating a plort or a piece of food(only fruit if a pure honey slime) settles to the bottom, along with any unneeded body mass, which is ejected during mitosis (sect 2). That area, the bottom behind, is ejected in a Plort, and since it is a Honey slime, a Honey Plort.
Sect 2: Eating and Mitosis
When slimes eat, eaten food is rapidly processed and turned into adenosine triphosphate, a sugar which is used to power the slime, along with replicate and separate off old and replaceable body mass. During mitosis, ATP is used to duplicate body mass, compress, harden and separate it from the body, turning the big blob of slime into what we call a Plort. A slime plort is unique to each individual subspecies of slime, along with different foods causing more or less to happen. The current name that slime scientists have given to the Slime species is Limus animalia.
Subsection 2-1: Largos
A Largo is what happens when one slime eats another slime’s plort. One main theory suggests that the slime only sees a plort as another piece of food, and so eats it for the ATP hidden inside it. The other suggests that if one slime really loves another slime, it will eat their plort to show affection. There are holes, however, such as slimekind’s apparent ability to develop relationships very quickly. What happens after the plort is eaten, regardless of love or food reasons, is that the slime grows to twice as large as before, right before mitosis (due to an extra set of DNA having to be dealt with), then undergoing mitosis, duplicating, but not having enough sugars obtained to complete mitosis without expending personal sugar supply. The mitosis already doubles the slime’s size, therefore the slime has become four times the original size along with obtaining features of the slime plort it has eaten. Further eaten food will produce always at least two plorts, or four if a favorite of one of the base slimes. Further foreign plorts will turn the largo into something worse…
Subsection 2-2: The Tarr
Certain information taken from Slimeobiology II.
…Tarr. ‘Tarr’ stands for ‘Those Awful Ravenous Rainbows’, hinting at the slime's appearance along with behavior. Tarr have a similar look to tar with rainbow swirls in it, and it’s open mouth is filled with rainbow color. Tarr are creatures which, because of the 3 sets of DNA, have their slimy nucleus (the part that controls the slime) being separated from the majority of the slime-like creature and so the body just does whatever it wants. Tarr are known for their hunger, seeking out any and all large sources of adenosine triphosphate, which, ‘99.37% of the time’, happens to be slimes, but other times, it’s either meat, or their favorite, people. Yes, that means YOU could be Tarr food. Tarrs need to constantly eat these sugars to survive, and if they have enough, then they can replicate their entire body, nucleus and all. Tarr can be destroyed using water, due to the polarity of water (H2O) being a main component in the peptide bonds in amino acids. When more water is introduced, either by the Tarr being over a small spring or being splashed by a shot of water, it isolates the stray amino acids similar to an ionic compound and blocks it off from the other carboxyl point, ripping apart the protein that makes up the Tarr’s cytoplasm and disassimilating (destroying, ripping apart) the entire organism.
Fossils and The Ancient Ruins - The Past of the Far, Far Range
Before we move on to the past of the Far, Far Range, let’s talk about what slimes actually are. Sorry for it being so late, but slimes are organisms which in body structure are very similar to single-celled organisms. The Tarr are an example, especially the de-linked nucleus and free-moving body.
Now, let’s get on with it.
The Ancient Ruins are a good example of some artefacts of old civilizations, that may have had slimes as a major portion of it. Nobody knows very much about this place, although remnants are also seen throughout the Glass Desert. It is likely possible that the Glass Desert was in one or more ways similar to the main Far, Far Range. First of all, the sizes are very similar, but on the map it is downscaled and is in fact very much the same size as the main Far, Far Range. Second of all, the Glass Desert has Oases of this Ancient Water that can grow these perhaps thousand-year-old plants that bloom with life when touched by Ancient Water. The huge fiery glass sculptures may have been an ancient experimental accident therefore possibilities of ancient bioengineering that involved slimes.
My hypothesis would be that the Slime People (my name for them) tried to make slimes, resulting in the Quantum Slimes as failures, but utilizing the power of multiversal travel. It could be possible that the Slime People unlocked the potential of the Quantum Plorts, being able to travel to an alternate world we know of as the Glass Desert. They may have had multiple links (such as the one at the northernmost point of the Glass Desert) to alternate universes of the Far, Far Range, therefore room for error. They would undergo an experiment that would have a high chance to go horribly and unsuccessfully, and that would explain the Glass Desert, a remote wasteland with some patches of life. This hypothesis would also explain the Quantum Slimes in the northern area of the Glass Desert, likely being in the Ancient Ruins. The wrecked portal could have been the location of the experiment, or it could have been Hobson going crazy and wrecking the pipelines, but likely the first.
An explanation for the Slime Gates with keys hidden among very large slimes, Gordos (which supposedly means “fat” in a certain language), would be that they Slime People were trying to conduct very long-term experiments with the slimes, and the Vaults were storage for certain things, but the experiments had to be sealed off from each other to avoid mixing in the later stages.
I happen to have some Slime Lab Logs from leading Slimeobiologists on the Far, Far Range, and I will play them back.

Lab Log 005 - angelo X. Firo
”Hello there, fellow slime biologists. I have found some unique fossil samples in which have something in which I call the Rainbow Plague. When I bombard it with Quantum plort radiation, it turns into a piece of land. It is therefore possible to use this to create your own island.”
________
Dr. Angelo X. Firo has attempted to do things involving the Rainbow Plague, and has once created the Tarrpocalypse. We hope that this does not happen again, and the Rainbow Plague research has stopped completely about two days after the start of the Tarrpocalypse.
Dr. Joseph Devilli-Seth had attempted to create Special Gordo Snares, although it did not fully succeed. Puddle Slimes came to the first one, but the others were likely in the incorrect places for the snares.

The Saber Slime - Theories of Ancient Evolution
The Saber Slime was a slime that lived in the Jellasic Age, knowing the ancient dino-like creatures that roamed the early Far, Far Range. The Saber Slimes likely somehow survived the Rainbow Plague, along with other small slimes. This however means that the ‘Mega-Slimes’ were the most affected, a probable reason being due to having more mass to eat. The only main living creatures at that point were a small amount of types of food: veggies, fruit, and meat, and of course the four types of slimes: The omnivores, Jelly Slimes; the carnivores, Saber Slimes; the herbivores, which have not been confirmed yet; and the frugivores, not confirmed either.
The Saber Slimes had certain tactics to find meat that was big enough for the Jelly Slime to ignore, but small enough for the Mega-Slimes to ignore as well. The tactics were passed on to a shared ancestor that, for the purposes of this text, will be called the Wildcat Slime. The Wildcat Slime had developed a tail likely for enhanced balance from high places, and probably developed camouflage against the prehistoric cliffs, grass and trees. The tree camouflage evolved into the Hunter Slime’s brown coat, and the great almond eyes for improved eyesight in the dark and slightly to startle the prey in place for just long enough to chomp down on the surprised animal. The remaining Wildcat slimes evolved to look peaceful enough to fool some of the dumber animals resulting in extinction of certain animal species that had certain branches dying out due to disadvantages in slight mutations.
The remaining carnivores had not required the Saber tactics due to beneficial mutations in other ways, such as the Boom Slime’s explosions, or the Tangle Slime’s grabber plants.
Blank Slimes - The Key to Prehistoric Slimes
As you all likely know, Saber Slimes do not live on the Far, Far Range in pure slime forms, although the Largos still live on in a land known as the Wilds. The Blank Slimes, limus animalia blank, are a genetically modified slime, that when fed a plort will turn into that slime. Supposedly the Blank Slime is slightly smaller than a normal slime, and may eat anything if it has the appetite to do so. However, only certain Slime Scientists have access to these genetic wonders, and make their findings sparsely found online, so little is known if pure Saber Slimes have been resurrected from the extinct species.
Many things would be possible using a combination of slime cross-breeding and Blank Slimes, involving possible Tri-Largos or Small Largos, an example of them being a Pink Tabby Hunter Largo and Quantum Tabby Small Largo, respectively. On another side, the Blank Slimes are perfect for finding out what happened thousands of years ago on the Far, Far Range, because environment could be simulated using slime fossils and slimes could be simulated using a combination of Blank Slimes, plorts and slime fossils.
Slime Breeding - A Portal to Exotic Slimes
Slime breeding is a key to increasing the types of slime on the Far, Far Range. Many slime scientists would be able to advance their knowledge of slimes by using this process to have more slimes without usage of a small (at least) tank of slime sea. Nobody is sure about mutating slimes (using something currently undiscovered) to clone the nucleus, but limoanimarean sexual reproduction is immensely disturbing to slimeobiologists that must know everything, because that would provide large amounts of confusion, particularly about any organs that would make a slime’s body distinctly different from that of a cell, aside from the eyes and mouth. Slimes do not have any such discovered organs yet, so slimes can only currently be given genders without triggering a debate about slimeobiology, and that might trigger a debate still.
Special Tools and Materials - A Rancher’s Best Friend?
The items that a slime rancher must carry around do end up at some points taking a lot of space, mostly because of repairs and fixes, especially to the compressors. For example, a largo vacpack would take either a very large end nozzle or a larger vacpack itself, or even a compressor in the vac-stream.
A vacpack is often designed for a combination of efficiency, high storage space, power, and low weight. This makes the vacpack perfect for storing large amounts of medium-small items.
Any rancher starts off with a vacpack with 4 slots, each holding a maximum of 20 items, and a ranch. A vacpack used for 300 days, each day having an average of 100 items vacced up and 100 items shot out, would have vacced up 300,000 items and shot out 300,000 items. Vacpacks never seem to have repairs, but they do seem to have upgrades, speed and what the upgrade is depending on the rancher and their ranching styles.
this will be a really big post.

The Saber Slimes had certain tactics to find meat that was big enough for the Jelly Slime to ignore, but small enough for the Mega-Slimes to ignore as well. The tactics were passed on to a shared ancestor that, for the purposes of this text, will be called the Wildcat Slime. The Wildcat Slime had developed a tail likely for enhanced balance from high places, and probably developed camouflage against the prehistoric cliffs, grass and trees. The tree camouflage evolved into the Hunter Slime’s brown coat, and the great almond eyes for improved eyesight in the dark and slightly to startle the prey in place for just long enough to chomp down on the surprised animal. The remaining Wildcat slimes evolved to look peaceful enough to fool some of the dumber animals resulting in extinction of certain animal species that had certain branches dying out due to disadvantages in slight mutations.
The remaining carnivores had not required the Saber tactics due to beneficial mutations in other ways, such as the Boom Slime’s explosions, or the Tangle Slime’s grabber plants.
Blank Slimes - The Key to Prehistoric Slimes
As you all likely know, Saber Slimes do not live on the Far, Far Range in pure slime forms, although the Largos still live on in a land known as the Wilds. The Blank Slimes, limus animalia blank, are a genetically modified slime, that when fed a plort will turn into that slime. Supposedly the Blank Slime is slightly smaller than a normal slime, and may eat anything if it has the appetite to do so. However, only certain Slime Scientists have access to these genetic wonders, and make their findings sparsely found online, so little is known if pure Saber Slimes have been resurrected from the extinct species.
Many things would be possible using a combination of slime cross-breeding and Blank Slimes, involving possible Tri-Largos or Small Largos, an example of them being a Pink Tabby Hunter Largo and Quantum Tabby Small Largo, respectively. On another side, the Blank Slimes are perfect for finding out what happened thousands of years ago on the Far, Far Range, because environment could be simulated using slime fossils and slimes could be simulated using a combination of Blank Slimes, plorts and slime fossils.
Slime Breeding - A Portal to Exotic Slimes
Slime breeding is a key to increasing the types of slime on the Far, Far Range. Many slime scientists would be able to advance their knowledge of slimes by using this process to have more slimes without usage of a small (at least) tank of slime sea. Nobody is sure about mutating slimes (using something currently undiscovered) to clone the nucleus, but limoanimarean sexual reproduction is immensely disturbing to slimeobiologists that must know everything, because that would provide large amounts of confusion, particularly about any organs that would make a slime’s body distinctly different from that of a cell, aside from the eyes and mouth. Slimes do not have any such discovered organs yet, so slimes can only currently be given genders without triggering a debate about slimeobiology, and that might trigger a debate still.
Special Tools and Materials - A Rancher’s Best Friend?
The items that a slime rancher must carry around do end up at some points taking a lot of space, mostly because of repairs and fixes, especially to the compressors. For example, a largo vacpack would take either a very large end nozzle or a larger vacpack itself, or even a compressor in the vac-stream.
A vacpack is often designed for a combination of efficiency, high storage space, power, and low weight. This makes the vacpack perfect for storing large amounts of medium-small items.
Any rancher starts off with a vacpack with 4 slots, each holding a maximum of 20 items, and a ranch. A vacpack used for 300 days, each day having an average of 100 items vacced up and 100 items shot out, would have vacced up 300,000 items and shot out 300,000 items. Vacpacks never seem to have repairs, but they do seem to have upgrades, speed and what the upgrade is depending on the rancher and their ranching styles.

oof. this is dead.I haven't played in a good while. I've mostly been playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Minecraft lately, but I want to come back to Slime Rancher at some point.
