The Dominant Genes for Slimes

[xenxander]

So I was noticing that certain colors are dominant over others when making pogo slimes.

This leads me to believe that in some future build, a dominant versus recessive 'gene' mix will be implemented.

Let's look at what we know.

If pink slime eats a plorp of a rock slime, tabby slime, or phospor slime, the resulting pogo will be pink.
Therefore Pink slime > (rock, tabby, phospor)
[by ">" I mean the gene dominance, nothing to do with 'better slime']

If a rock slime eats a tabby plorp, the slime is blue
therefore Rock slime > Tabby

Pink > Rock > Tabby

If a rock eats a phosopr plort, or vice versa, the pogo is clear.
If a tabby eats any plort, it will not be gray, but the color of the slime it ate, therefore tabby is end of the gene dominance
Pink > Phospor > Rock > Tabby

Honeyslimes are the golden yellow and it seems that this color is dominant no matter what slime eats the plort. Even if you feed a honey plort to a pink slime, the honey/pink pogo is more golden than pink, it's just a larger honeyslime version, slightly off-shade.
Boomslimes pass on their molten rocky red color to all but honey slimes. Boomslimes pass on the molten marbling color if they are fed a honey plort, but the coloring is still that of honey.

Therefore I think I have the hierarchy of dominant slime genes.

Honey > Boom > Pink > Phosphor > Rock > Tabby

If would be fun if the tabby was dominant to the upcoming radiation slime, and the radiation slime was dominant to all but the tabby, making a circle of hierarchy instead of a linear progression ^_^

Nice! i been thinking about this for some time, but i am too lazy to test all combinations XD

Are you sure you tested right? Pink should be the most dominant gene. I'm pretty sure Pink Honey Largos are pink with the honeycombs on their foreheads, and Pink Boom Largos are pink with the molten cracks on their bodies (it may look similar to regular Boom Slimes since pink and red are close in appearance).

Plus, Pink Slime's coral pink hue is the only thing its "genes" can provide to a Largo, and "Pink" is in the potential Largo's name.

It should be:

Pink > Honey > Boom > Phosphor > Rock > Tabby

I think it would be cool if the slime stayed the same color as it originally was but gains the shape ans size. So there a bit of diversity between slimes that are the 'same'.

[thatguy1023]

so I did testing for all combos and this is what i was able to make of all of it

pink + rock = pink with rocks on head
+ tabby = pink with tail and ears
+ phosphorus = mix/ see-through pink
+ boom = pink with red cracks
+ honey = pink with honeycombs on forehead

rock + tabby = blue with both features also blue
+ phosphorus = both features with the horns being mostly white with blue at base and skin is blue
+ boom = both features and all red
+ honey = both features and all yellow

tabby + phosphorus = both features with phosphorus being white and everything else being blue
+ boom = both features and all red
+ honey = both features and all yellow

phosphorus + boom = boom skin and antennae and wings along with glowing
+ honey = both features with mix/see-through yellow

boom + honey = honeycombs along with red cracks along with a more yellowish than red skin

this is what i can come up with based off of the view of slimes
Pink: Pink>all but phosphorus seems to be a mix
rock: boom, honey, and pink>rock> tabby and phosphorus?
tabby: all>tabby
phosphorus: seems to mix with everything making it see-through
boom: pink and honey>boom> rock, tabby, phosphorus
honey: pink>honey>everything else

[xenxander]

You are correct, the pink trumps all. I just reevaluated the pink + honey combo and it's all pink except for the three hexes on its forehead (and it's larger size).

So it's:

Pink > Honey > Boom > Phosphor > Rock > Tabby

Rad Slime is between Phospor and Rock.

Rad slime is 2nd to last

[OMGZombehs]

This is a cool thread. :)

[xenxander]

A new build is up? Rad slimes are a 'thing' now?

A new build is up? Rad slimes are a 'thing' now?

You can debuxg o.2.1 and get the slimes there

[Pigcatapult]

Yeah, but we're not supposed to do that and the debs already asked that no-one post stuff about unimplemented largos and such.
