Hello,
First of all, I really like this game and I'm waiting for the day I can play the full version.
Now, I'd like to drop some suggestions regarding other ways to use plorts. For now, the main function of plorts is to sell them (or make largos, but you want largos to sell their plorts). I had an idea to give plorts other usage and I'd like to share the few examples I came up with:
- I already mentioned this before in a post. Regarding boom plorts, they are usually cheaper than honey or puddle plorts and many think that they are not worth the effort. It would be nice if boom plorts had a unique ability of exploding on contact when you shoot them from your vacpack. They can be used to open up some caved in routes (by destroying rocks) or by introducing a new crate (reinforced crate) that can only be opened if you throw a boom plort at it. I believe this will give a reason for the player to raise boom slimes.
- Phosphor plorts: if this game would ever have explorable caves that are too dark to see inside, then phosphor plorts can be used as a fuel for a new vacpack tool called flashlight. This flashlight will use phosphor plorts as "battery" to work so you can explore dark areas or you can just throw phosphor plorts on the ground to light your way.
- Plorts used as food. I thought of an idea of a slime with really expensive plorts with a diet of another slime's plort that are much less expensive. So in a way, you're raising one type of slime just to feed another type of slime. For example, the honey plorts can be food for some new slime.
These are the ideas that I have so far. If someone has more ideas or a comment, then by all means, leave them here.
