Honey and Booms are way more common then the rocks, that's why I was suggesting it. And obviously you're carrying a grudge.

Oh no, I am reacting emotionally to you constantly talking out of both sides of your mouth (simultaneously complaining that its food is too common AND too rare) and making passive-aggressive digs at me.
See: Dedicating two whole new sections added today that are clearly directed at me, including a completely unnecessary line about how I "clearly dun goofed" because slime balance is
so easy.Now, let me enumerate two other things you're obviously directing at me:
If you have a unique diet with a high plort value, have NO favorites, or the rarity is gonna burst through the damn roof.
Summary: If easy to contain, decrease value and increase rarity. If not do the opposite
Again, you're telling me to do two very opposite things. I've already established that the Deep Slime is a rare slime that only spawns under very specific conditions, so "the rarity is gonna bust through the roof" is already
100% intended. But then also you're saying that, since it's difficult to contain, it has to
be common and have a pricier plort, when you've already accused it of being OP for its plort value compared to its diet.
And so the only thing I can make sense from
that is that your real complaint is that rare, troublesome slimes with a unique diet shouldn't exist, which it would have been a lot nicer if you told me upfront.
But no, somehow
I'm the unreasonable grudgy one for reacting emotionally to this and not trusting that you're acting in good faith towards me about my slimes.
And this is the last of this argument that I'm going to post, because, shockingly, I don't enjoy the sensation of feeling upset and hurt.
Are you serious? You JUST PROVED you have a grudge, let me show you how those 'opposite things' were used. 1st case, I was pointing out them turning up a nose for pink slimes, but prefer to to eat boom slimes, which will explode in their mouths was stupid, there isn't anything wrong with that. The biological evidence you gave was 'because they don't like the taste so they eat the boom and honey's.' which makes no sense when you think about it because animals in the wild only have taste to check if they're eating the correct food, for example, if you gave a cat sugar, it would not be able to taste it. Why? Because the carnivorous cat does not need to eat sugar, since sugar is a plant product. The taste is used to determine if it's edible or not.
And I was suggesting the rocks because the rocks they have could contain nutrition in them, so the rock-climbing deep slime would wrap around it and suck out all of the nutrition. I think what you are forgetting is something called evolution, two slimes in the world that can destroy an entire eco-system is pretty much never gonna exist because there is competition, that is called the Tarr, so this slime should have evolved to eat underwater slimes instead of land slimes because it makes no sense they would crawl that far, as opposed to the pink slime or rock slime, which are close on a reef that's easy to climb and right next to the ocean. The journey out of the slime ocean is much harder at the moss blanket then the dry reef, so why bother there? This would cause it to evolve to pretty much suit the surroundings of hunting there after many years. If it ate Honey and booms, it would have to deal with the common Tarr outbreaks.
2nd case, this is part of a guide that wasn't directed at you. You really think you're a special snowflake don't you? Anyways, that 'summary' was for the section of containing the slime in the balance chapter, so you clearly took this out of context to try and make yourself seem like you've got a bigger point, when you don't, anybody who has read the guide knows this.
Also there's not two new sections, can you read?
And yes I did take inspiration from this post to make the point about the no favorites if they have a unique diet. But I didn't add it in with you in mind, the pink slime has no favorite, and it has a unique diet. The gold slime is extremely rare, and is going to have a favorite, but it's rare enough to balance this out. This was why I added it in to HELP OTHER PEOPLE, do you see the puddle slime with a favorite? No.
But you failed to understand what I was doing.
What I was doing was basically 'add on if true' you was supposed to go through the guide, and check through with your slime, and then see the end result after you've added and subtracted what I have asked you to do, you may get an extremely rare slime with a high value, or a common slime with low value. I even bloody put a disclaimer where I said 'I don't claim to know everything' because I don't, but I get what makes my slimes get good reception.
Also one more point, balance was something I was going to add anyways, so you saying this is just stupid, you saying I made 2 sections entirely for you is a ridiculous statement in the first place.
And so the only thing I can make sense from that is that your real complaint is that rare, troublesome slimes with a unique diet shouldn't exist, which it would have been a lot nicer if you told me upfront.
No I didn't, the gold slimes bloody exist and I condone the thing, just because you want to feel like a special snowflake doesn't mean you try to antagonize other people when they do nothing to you except criticize your ideas, even though I writ a guide that you followed, I CAN not like the idea you made.
But no, somehow I'm the unreasonable grudgy one for reacting emotionally to this and not trusting that you're acting in good faith towards me about my slimes.Yes you are because you're making ad homenims, stupid complaints as if you own an idea, stupid arguments that clearly miss the point on purpose, so strawmanning, and finally, talking in a condescending manner.
Understand what you're doing kid, it ain't good for ya' image.
