Try out harvesting one baby purple and then using the steroids from it on a second baby purple! Repeat as necessary. | ||

They don't provide a lot of useful info, but pay attention to mutation chance! It varies between 25% and 35%. Choose carefully which slimes to keep! If you're breeding greys for monkeys, you'll want less chance of mutations, and if you want to get adamantine golems, you want to evolve them a lot! | ||

This ensures that in the case your slimes die, you are assured to have a backup grey slime extract available to start over. Then, bring a monkey cube over and soak it in water, and place the monkey in disposals. Engage the disposal and watch as the slime eats the monkey. Do NOT enter the pen and bash the monkey, the only thing that will happen is slime will get less food. After the slime is done, try talking to him! Just say "Hello" and his number, or "Hello, slimes". If it replies, congratulations, you've got a friend. This slime and its offspring will never attack you. If that didn't work, you'll have to repeat it. | ||
Important detail: after feeding on a monkey, a slime may befriend the person who was the last one to '''grab''' or '''bump''' into a monkey. So don't put two monkeys in at the same time, since if one of them bumps another, the slime may consider it a friend and refuse to feed on it! | Important detail: after feeding on a monkey, a slime may befriend the person who was the last one to '''grab''' or '''bump''' into a monkey.

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.) | ||
