Guide to xenobiology: Difference between revisions

The lab also contains a slime containment area with pens, some of which start with a baby grey slime. There is also a special containment pen that's larger and more secure than the rest. This is ideal for containing and experimenting on [[Alien|other alien lifeforms]] should the station manage to capture/produce one. Usually though, it's just for storing extra slimes. [[Xenobiology Lab|You can read more about your workplace for each map by clicking here]].

===[[File:Slime_comp.png]] Slime Console===

It's strongly advised grabbing the wrench (usually located next to the shield projectors) and moving the fridge and slime processor within close range of the console you're using as to cut out a lot of unnecessary movement.

*Do NOT enter the pen and bash the monkey, the only thing that will happen is slime will get less food.

Once they're fed enough, after a while the adult slime will split into 4 baby slimes.

Time to kill your darlings. Decide which baby slimes you don't want to keep.

*Upgrading the grinder will make it go faster and give more cores per slime.

*A Bio Bag from any biohazard locker can mass-collect slime cores and easily drop them into the fridge for easy access.

==Friendship and Slimes==

If you've been following the guide and diligently breeding and culling the slimes, you may have noticed that while the slimes very quickly attack and eat the monkeys you offer them, they have little to no interest in eating you. This is because you've become their "friend", a status that can be earned by simply being the one sending them monkeys. To check if slimes are friendly, say "Hello slimes"; all the slimes that consider you their friend will say hello.

There are some commands you can issue as a slime's friend, including "follow", "stop" and "attack". Keep in mind that these commands are exceedingly finicky, and are rarely used for a reason. Slimes will not attack other slimes or friends.

So either by you not feeding the slime enough, the slime being an dick, or [[Guide_to_xenobiology#Tier_3|reas]][[Guide_to_xenobiology#So_You.27re_a_Traitor|ons]], a slime has tried to kill you. If the slime is a baby, this is annoying. If the slime is an adult, you may die if you don't know what you're doing.

While this is generally more a tip for you when NOT playing Xenobiologist, in the event of a very rare slime outbreak, perhaps of sentient slimes, get an extinguisher and hide. A horde of angry slimes can multiply fast, and while slimes are normally unintelligent and docile, outbreaks of them are nearly always done on purpose by someone wanting to destroy the station, and are thus paired with usage of red extracts enraging slimes and light pink or black extracts making very deadly intelligent slimes. Pray that the AI is able to stop them, and that the xenobiologist who released the slimes doesn't follow up with [[Guide_to_xenobiology#So_You.27re_a_Traitor|something worse]].

There are a lot of different types of slime. You begin with two grey slimes but you can breed them to catch all the <strike>pokèmon!</strike> slimes! Each kind of slime has its own powers from its extract.

'''NOTE:''' You can increase a slime's chance of mutation by injecting it with slime mutation potions from red slimes and decrease it with slime stability potions from blue slimes.

==Formulas==

All injections require one unit of reagent. Dropper is your friend. You can also dilute your plasma by, for example, filling a beaker with 40u of water and 10u of plasma; a syringe will collect exactly one unit of plasma this way (and the water doesn't react).

*Extract creates a small cloud of smoke when injected with water. It'll carry any other reagent already inside the slime extract.

:'''Luminescent Effects'''

:*Major: Spawns smoke around the user. The smoke will purge chemicals in the user's body and infuse itself with them.

{{anchor|Purple Slime}}

{{anchor|Blue Slime}}

====Blue Slime [[File:slimeblue.png]]====

*Extract creates slime stabilizer when injected with blood. Reduces a slime's mutation chance by 15%, and carries through across generations.

*Extract creates foam when injected with water. It'll carry any other reagent already inside the slime extract.

:'''Luminescent Effects'''

:*Minor: Cures cellular damage, purges the dna, and reduces radiation on the user.

{{anchor|Metal Slime}}

====Metal Slime [[File:slimemetal.png]]====

*Extract creates 3 sheets of [[Plasma|Solid Plasma]] when injected with plasma. Yessir, NT can link anything to the production of plasma. Also useful for further experimenting.

:'''Luminescent Effects'''

:*Major: Spawns a cloud of plasma around the user.

{{anchor|Dark Blue Slime}}

{{anchor|Silver Slime}}

====Silver Slime [[File:slimesilver.png]]====

:'''Luminescent Effects'''

:*Major: Spawns a random food in the user's hand.

===Tier 2.5===

:'''Luminescent Effects'''

:*Minor: Spawns a camera in the user's hand.

{{anchor|Cerulean Slime}}

====Cerulean Slime [[File:slimecerculean.png]]====

*Extract creates a bottle of slime mutation potion when injected with plasma. Makes slimes 12% more likely to mutate, the opposite of the slime stabilizer.

*Extract makes nearby slimes rabid when injected with blood. Has some [[traitor|fun]] uses.

:'''Luminescent Effects'''

:*Minor: Infuses the user with Ephedrine, greatly increasing their speed temporarily.

====Green Slime [[File:slimegreen.png]]====

*Extract creates some slime mutation toxin when injected with plasma. Having at least 4u in your system will eventually turn you into a random jellyperson. They have several pros and cons, but what is important to xenobiology is that slimes will never attack you and your blood is no longer valid for blood-based reactions, as it is replaced by slime jelly. Ingesting more slime mutation toxin when you're already a jellyperson will turn you into another random subspecies.

:'''Luminescent Effects'''

:*Minor: Turns the user back into a human.

{{anchor|Pink Slime}}

====Pink Slime [[File:slimepink.png]]====

{{anchor|Gold Slime}}

====Gold Slime [[File:slimegold.png]]====

*Extract spawns three random dangerous mobs when injected with blood. These mobs are not immediately hostile, but may be provoked by certain actions, proximity to other creatures (such as your slimes) or if they encounter a construct or mech.

*Extract spawns one random [[Critters#Friendly|friendly critter]] when injected with water. Now you can fill xenobiology with mobs even if you're a giant pussy!

:'''Luminescent Effects'''

:*Minor: Spawns a friendly mob.

==So You're a Traitor==

What you can get here that can't be gotten easier elsewhere is an EMP and <strike>random hostile animals which include a few very deadly ones</strike> CARPS SPACE BEARS ALIUMS SPIDERS HIVEBOTS PINE TREES OH GOD IT'S HORRIFYING. Releasing the slimes is somewhat viable, but you will likely get caught doing so, and baby slimes are rather tame (Unless you have Red Slime Essence. Then it's a party.)

A full guide to ruining someone's day with slimes:

*Green - Produces 1 unit of a chemical that turns people into different races including slime persons. Use it on someone and convince the AI that they're a danger to humanity. Needs at least 5 units for it to work in a smoke grenade.

*Orange - Ignites a large fire.

*Yellow - Huge EMP.

*Gold - We all know what this does.

*Sepia - Stops time in a small radius, allowing you to wreak many kinds of havoc.

*Adamantium - Makes golems that can be converted to the cult/soul shard/revved. They have to follow orders given to them by their creator so feel free to make them suicide bomb with gold slime cores.

*Light pink - Enables you to make sentient beings, including anything a gold slime extract can produce. Magicarps included.
