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.

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.

*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.

====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.

====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.

:'''Luminescent Effects'''

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

:'''Luminescent Effects'''

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

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

*Extract creates various other mutation toxins when injected with different chemicals as shown below

====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!

*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.

*Orange - Ignites a large fire.

*Silver - Only way to get real roburgers (with nanites).

*Gold - We all know what this does.
