Can I breed slimes and make rare versions?

[Retro]

I like games like creature where you can breed norns and they develop traits from their mother/father and through the generations you get unique sets of norns, maybe some that are cranky, some might speak better english then others

im wondering since the game has "rancher" in title will you be able to breed and capture slimes..to make even more rare ones to let go into the ecosystem?

you can mix the base types of slime, but its not breeding, in that you don't get more slimes this way. also, you may not want to combine too many into one slime. this also occurs in the wild, and can be a bit annoying, when you want to grab specific base slimes.

Yes, but maybe not the way you're describing. When slimes eat, they make crystals called "plorts." You can gather and sell plorts for money. However, if a slime eats a plort from another kind of slime, it will turn into a hybrid of the two types that yields both kinds of plorts.

However, there's a hard limit to how much mixing you can do, because if you try to feed a hybrid a third type of plort... things happen.

thanks guys! that actually makes the game even more fascinating to me I hope they expand on this because I can see it being an addictive feature.

Preeeety sure I've seen a slime that was mixed with a phosphorus and a tabby. It had wings and a tail, and it's only possible to combine pink slimes with any others. So I think some threeway combinations are possible.

At the moment there's no 3-way-combos available. At least not yet. I don't know if they plan on letting that happen or not. At the moment there's only about 15 or 16 total combinations of Largos. Any slime can be combined with any other slime but only once. The only exclusion is the Gold Slime. You can't capture or combine those at all. Any 3-way-combos result in creating a Tarr.
