Corral upgrade/Plot ideas:
Pool upgrade:
Cost: more than or equal to the pond plot
Purpose: While puddle slimes are nice, docile additions to any range, there are other water-reliant slimes that are more active, and may be inclined to wander out. With this, they'll be just as safe and secure as they would be in your typical corral, while remaining just as hydrated. This does not mean that they still won't need food however.
Alternatives: Perhaps a greenhouse-esk sprinkler upgrade? It'd definitely work for plant-based slimes, and prevent abuse if it follows the same rules as the ones in gardens. An aquarium upgrade would be worth considering as well for fish-based slimes, though, that'd require a way not to be exploited. Something worth considering is, instead of water, it'd be filled with a safer, synthetic version of the slime-water in the slime sea.
Heat-lamp/Cooler upgrade:
Cost: 250 NB
Purpose: Some slimes are more at home in warmer or cooler climates, and would not otherwise be comfortable in a plot. While some slimes may simply not produce as many plots in the standard environment, others may evaporate, melt, or even turn to solid rock.
Slime Siren Plot:
Cost:{/u] 1000 NB
[u]Purpose: Many ranchers decide to let their largos have a free range to roam, whether it be in the grotto or the overgrowth, but when it comes time to collect, the largos keep getting sucked in your vacpac! When activated, his set of loudspeakers will play music irresistible to any slime, leaving their plorts behind for you to collect.

"Spins a good yarn..."
Diet: meat, or, if implemented, insects
Slimeology: Spider Slimes got their name from their silk-like plorts, and tendencies to climb walls and cover the ground in a sticky purple goo. With their four eyes and predatory fangs, these slimes love to pounce downwards on anything that gets caught in their traps, whether it be for play or prey.
Rancher Risks: Ranchers should be cautious of ornery spider slimes out in the wild, but if well fed and cared for, the only danger they pose are their sneaky wall-climbing and hiding, which may lead to one going unnoticed and getting into plorts they wouldn't have. Be sure to keep a number of them all!
Plortonomics: Spider plorts can be processed into durable, silky fabrics, making them invaluable to the textile industry. Construction companies and manufacturers also have high interest in fashioning spider plorts into ropes and cables due to their weight capacity of over 200 tons. Impressive!
