SLIMEPEDIA ENTRY
"Don't judge a book by its cover."
Diet: Veggies
Favorite Food: Silicanise
SIlicanise are an uncommon veggie that grow mostly underground, but can also be found on land. They are well-known for being used for extracting a chemical for medicine.
Favorite Toy: Quartz Cluster
Slimeology:
Relatives of rock and crystal slimes, Geode Slimes are abundant in all areas of the Far, Far Range, especially caves. However, their prevalence doesn't make them any less fascinating! The only way to obtain plorts from this breed of slime is to crack it open by smashing it against the ground, or against wall. But it doesn't end there - geode slimes have to have plorts formed inside their bodies after a process of formation of crystals that is only possible by feeding the slime.
Geode slimes, unlike other regular slimes, can drop several plorts at a time, depending on how well-fed they are, but unfortunately the maximum amount of plorts does not increase if a geode slime becomes a largo.
Rancher Risks:
If not careful, geode slimes will spill lava or silica-rich liquid depending on their current phase. Interacting with those substances will harm the rancher and the slimes, agitating the latter. You can splash water on lava to get rid of it, although this trick won't work with silica. That's why it's better to always keep them well-fed so you won't accidentally hurt yourself.
Plortonomics:
Geode plorts are often used for jewelry, but are also told to soothe the mind and emotions. They used to be thought as rare, and were even called "plorts of fire" back when geode slimes were just discovered. They are believed to be able to control a person's evil thoughts and are often used as talismans for protection.
_____
A geode slime's plort amount is affected by how much food was it fed before transitioning in the silica phase. A geode slime's phase is determined by the presence of glow emitted from its holes. If the glow is present, a geode slime is in its lava phase and can be fed around 7 pieces of food(3 if it is its favorite)before transitioning into its silica form.
Time taken in order for a geode slime to transition from its lava phase to silica phase is determined by how much food it has eaten in its lava phase.
0 pcs. of food: ∞ in-game minutes
1 pcs. of food: 120 in-game minutes
2 pcs. of food(1 pcs. of favorite): 100 in-game minutes
3 pcs. of food: 80 in-game minutes
4 pcs. of food(2 pcs. of favorite): 60 in-game minutes
5 pcs. of food: 40 in-game minutes
6 pcs. of food(3 pcs. of favorite): 20 in-game minutes
7 pcs. of food: instant transition
Transitioning from silica to crystal phase can take 120(6-7 pcs. of food, maximum), 80(4-5 pcs. of food), 40(2-3 pcs. of food) or 20(1 pcs. of food)in-game minutes, depending on how many pieces of food it has eaten before transitioning into silica phase.
A geode slime can not be fed during its silica phase.
Geode slimes can drop 1(1 pcs. of food), 2(2 pcs.), 3(3 pcs.), 4(4 pcs.), 5(5 pcs.) or 6-7(7 pcs. or 6 psc., 50/50 chance for either to get 6 or 7 plorts from feeding, doesn't if the number of plorts matches the number of food fed).
NOTES: Number of plorts produced technically doesn't double upon being fed by a favorite food, since it is only essential during the lava phase and quickens the time taken for transitioning into the next phase.
Number of maximum plorts do not increase if a geode slime turns into a largo, only the type of plorts produced changes and nothing else, geode largos still will drop a maximum of 6-7 plorts like regular geodes [slimes].
