"free range" ranching tools

[TL;DR: id like science/utility tools to harvest wild slimes' plorts easier]

These days, the public is more discerning than ever as to where their plorts come from, and rightfully so! As such, ive made it my mission to ensure all my plorts are "Impossibly Ethical™" and "Happy Slime Guarantee™" premium plorts, gained from wild or Free Range*™ slimes. What i could use in my highly profitabl-i mean my highly noble quest is the tools to harvest these All Natural™ plorts more effectively.
goofs aside ,specifically what i think would be nice is standalone 360' degree plort collectors and possibly feeders, as a buildable utility via the slime science lab. these would help greatly reduce time spent vacuuming plorts off the ground in my slime filled grotto and overgrowth, which is kinda tedious. (sorry if this post has been brought up before, if you link a thread talking about this ill remove it)

I like this! The road map says that they will be adding drones to help with some of the labor long term. I wonder if that includes picking up free range plorts?

maybe, but imagine trying to slurp plorts out of a moving drone buzzing around :I

well it's likely a slime science gadget. which means it'll need to be placed on a gadget spot. so it'd probably have a station to sit at when idle where you can manually empty its inventory.

Shameful self-promoting plug

Technically this isnt in the game.. but it is profitable and "free range"

TBH I think this version of free range is more unethical than a corral.
