===Selling===
You can decide to sell some of your cores at the plort machine for research points. To do this, simply insert a core into the machine and your department will receive research points.
*Rarer slime cores give you more research points.
*Upgrading the grinder will give you more research points per core.
==Friendship and Slimes==
==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.

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.

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).

It reverts the position, health, and limbs of human beings, animals, and objects. This does not revive them if they are dead nor work if completely destroyed/gibbed.

*Red - Makes all slimes within sight range hyper aggressive. Also makes glycerol with blood in case you want to make a stupidly large hole in the station with a bluespace beaker grenade.
*Red - Makes all slimes within sight range hyper aggressive. Also creates potions that can increase a simplemob's speed when injected with blood, useful for enhancing your gold slime army.
*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.

*Black - Turns people into actual grey slimes, no fort save. Again, 5 units in a smoke or foam grenade will make for a very interesting shuttle flight.
