i may start doing some testing myself now that i've sold all my tier 3 plorts. took a while for the prices to build up after i got the initial 500, but i was able to get up 3 top tier rank upgrades through the whole process. so i should be able to do it again and max my rank. idk if i'll keep doing that, but if not i'd have to figure out what to even do with the extra space at the docks lol. my next level is the upgrade for them, so maybe it'll give me some ideas when i get it. but one of the chroma pack before that is really pretty! perfect shades of blue for the docks, and really makes things pop everywhere else!
*so a quick edit of something i just remembered, the wiki for slime rancher actually states how much you need to feed to pop a gordo: "You are required to have 45 food items (50 on older versions) to satisfy the Pink Gordos, and 65 (75 on older versions) for other Gordos (if you feed only its favorite food item it will burst in 33 food items). Items of the Gordo's favorite food count as double the amount of food (the pink gordo does not have a favorite). Once fed to satisfaction, a Gordo will explode, providing a reward." So going off this, i'd say it's safe to assume that all other gordo besides pink have the same bursting point as that rad gordo. But a quick clarification, they started trembling at 33 and 25? or 33 and 25 before before they started trembling?
If you want a Gordo as big as possible before starting to tremble, feed it 21 of any food that isn't its favorite!
*I make a note to only post original ideas that I haven't seen others suggest.
