Alternative to Friendly Tarr
Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2018 8:32 pmI've noticed a lot of suggestions in here regarding the possibility of friendly Tarr variants. I personally disagree with the concept, because Tarr do not produce plorts, and giving them the ability to do so would clash with their established lore. I do, however, believe that Tarr should provide some sort of resource, so this is my late-game alternative to ranching them.
Tarr Centrifuge
Slime science gadget (extractor)
Recipe:
-15 Primordy Oil
-8 Indigonium
-2 Lava Dust
-4 Silky Sand
-120 Crystal Plorts
Use: Shoot a Tarr into it to start the extraction process. After 24 in-game hours, the Centrifuge will produce between 1 and 3 Inert Tarr. The Centrifuge will never break, but cannot be moved once placed.
Inert Tarr
Slime Science resource, can be sold on the Plort Market
Base Value: 80
Use: Can be sold or used to craft Slick gadgets (teleporter, warp depot, etc.), which shine in rainbow patterns like Tarr
Slimepedia entry:
Inert Tarr is a valuable and difficult-to-obtain resource that can only be obtained by subduing and processing Tarr, a dangerous task for even the most experienced Ranchers. It is the closest thing to a plort that can be derived from the Tarr, and is considered one for the purposes of Plortonomics, but is actually a different substance entirely.
Inert Tarr has a wide variety of uses on Earth, ranging from efficiently paving roads to creating "Plortstic," an extremely-durable renewable plastic. In addition, paint made with Inert Tarr shines in rainbow colors, just like Tarr, only it doesn't try to eat you. How lovely.
