== 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 hanging around line of sight of the slime and feeding it. It's a bit strange sometimes, slimes will rarely attack you for seemingly no reason, but if you're doing a good job you won't need to work for this. | |||
There are, however, some commands you can issue as a slime's friend, including "follow" and "stop." Keep in mind however, these commands are exceedingly finicky, and are rarely used for a reason. | |||
=== THEY'RE EATING HER... AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO EAT ME! OH MY GOOOOOOOOD! === | |||
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. | |||
Slimes have two attacks: A glomp that does brute damage with adults dealing more and a chance to stun, and the far more dangerous 'feeding' attack which deals clone damage and empowers the slime, a rare and very difficult to hear type of damage. If a slime starts feeding on you, wrestle it off with disarm intent and spray it down with an extinguisher (You DID get an extinguisher, right?) when you get it off until it dies. After that, hobble off to medbay for healing. | |||
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/or 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]]. | |||
