What are the benefits of feeding a slime its favorite food?

[saenk1337]

Been feeding my slimes only 1 kind of food for each type until I noticed about its favorites.

Feeding favorite foods makes slimes produce double the plorts.

This works with Largos, too, so you get four plorts total if you feed it one of its favorite foods (two of each from its base slimes).

Um, I don't exactly know if that's how it works. The Largo's fav food is the same as the source slime's, and I thought they gave only 2 of the source slime's plort, like if you fed it when it was still the source slime.

Largos give double what they normally give with favourite foods. So 4 plorts total. Also they don't get drooly/hangry as fast when they eat favourite foods.

Hello!

If you feed a slime it's favourite food, be it EITHER of the largo's source slime [Example Tabby Rock Largo, Heart Beet & Stony Hen] it will produce 2 of both plorts, essentially doubling the profits.

Keep in mind that this works for every slime hybrid. Except Pink, but if you feed a Pink Rock Largo the Heart Beet, it will still produce 2 pinks, and 2 rock plorts.

Best of luck!!

You do need to weight cost to benefit with it, though.

-----

A largo takes up significantly more space than 4 slimes. (thus less plort/square slime)

2 different slimes require 2 corrals over their Largo versions' 1. (thus less space efficient by the number)

Each slime will still need to be fed the same amount of food. (thus food to plort ratio is better, but plort to munchies ratio is severely worse, thus fewer plorts per slime per noms per Largo!)

------

If you want casual plort farming, largos will defo be worth it, but if you want to rake in those plorts and have food for the winter, pack up 50 regular, cutesy slimes into a corral and just keep the food running.

You'll make so much money/research material you will have nothing to do with it in no time!
