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 ^_^
