Ummm... p-please, pardon my sudden appearance! Many folks are a little startled when I show up... Oh goodness, I hope I didn't scare anyone... (is actually getting really nervous)

Mr. Blake? What... what causes the slimes' "stacking" behavior? What exactly is happening?

Um... also, I've noticed something strange about the Tarr, specifically their, um, extension technique. Uh, they... well, the part that stretches out to grab their prey sometimes looks like a... a skeletal arm. It's kind of unnerving.

I have done some more research, and I have discovered that the same way Honey Slimes developed their honeycomb shield on their head, the boom slime developed the explosion ability to 1. remove the material it cannot break down, and 2. to defend themselves from attacking forces. They cannot explode, however, if they have none of this material left. I know this because I ran a test where I didn't feed a boom slime for several days, and eventually it almost stopped exploding. I fed it after the test was over because I am not a cruel person.
He's the biggest nerd there is, iiiiiiit's....

Mr. Moonjump!

Hehe. I used to be known as SlimeCrafter, but I grew out of that name...

I, uh... can't seem to change it. Oof.

A slime's cellular membrane is not totally smooth, like human skin. At the microscopic level the membranes is a vastly complex network of receptors, sensors, and appendages. The slime's visible membrane features are the photoreceptors (eyes), and an endocytocis vesicle (mouth). The "mouth" of a slime is actually a simple vesicle which expands and envelopes food to consume by endocytosis. The membrane also is used to release plorts via exocytosis, which explains how fresh plorts appear to be encapsulated in a bubble before that membrane decays and leaves the plort crystal itself. The "inside" of a slime's mouth has a very high concentration of transferrin, while the rest of the slime's membrane completely lacks transferrin. That is why a slime can't eat food if the food were to suddenly be chucked onto the slime's back. The slime's membrane also helps with locomotion without having to resort to pseudopods. The membrane is lined with special "hairs" that "grab" a surface and allow the slime to move forward. On the top and bottom of the slime, these "special hairs" are further specialized to "grab" another slime's "special hairs". The phenomenon the "special hairs" induce is what causes the slimes' stacking.

the more simple answer is slimes stack when they're hungry in order to escape a corral and get to nearby food.
If you want a Gordo as big as possible before starting to tremble, feed it 21 of any food that isn't its favorite!

S-so... that's why they're sticky? It makes so much sense now! I have a close friend who's a budding Slimebiologist and I recall him trying to explain this to me once. I was very tired so I didn't quite grasp it, if you pardon the terrible pun.

Thank you for clearing this up!

Dude are you like an actual biologist, because I'm just a fourteen year old kid with too much time on his hands.

Also, the "special hairs" seem like you're referring to the synthesis of Charged Amino R-Groups into enzymes.

Slimeobiology, slimeophysics, slimeopsycology corrections

Postby TheGreciansHousehold » Sun Mar 27, 2016 1:52 am

Good afternoon/morning. My name is Apollo (not irl) and I am a honey plot farmer, a slimeophysicist (Sly-MAY-oh-fizz-is-ist), a slimeobiologist, and a slimeopsycologist (sly-MAY-oh-sigh-COLL-ojist) and I would like to correct your page.

1. The scientific term for all slimes apart from the puddle slime is aqua limus animalia. Puddle slimes are aqua-habitator animalia.

2. Slimes are also drawn to each over which often causes their stacks, though this is more of an addition to your info than a correction.

3. Tarr are caused when DNA capacity is at maximum, causing the DNA strands to split into corrupt RNA, similarly for example as a flash code being used as HTML5.

4. Slimes contain two nuclei; one for average use and the other for internal communication.

5. Slimes do not own muscles.

The only reason the Tarr's insides are all rainbow and stuff is that it takes the slimes it eats to a ranch on the flip side, where slimes are evil and Tarrs are corralled and when slimes eat Tarrs the Tarrs are sent back to the normal ranch where the cycle of traveling starts all over again.

That can be easily explained by game's code. Ferals eat anything, because they are part pink, so if you got any spare food, you can use it. If Ferals weren't part pink, you'd need to have two types of food, f.e. A Rock Boom Feral appeared and all you have is Pogofruit. There's nothing you could do.

Um something you should know is that a gordo isn't a single slime but multiple slimes that fused together around an object I mean I know this is a roleplay type thing but don't strech the lore to much (switching over to the slime rancher me) Actually gordos are more like cell clusters than single cells due to how they form
