Slimeology
Quicksilver slimes are among the rarest slimes on the Far, Far Range, thanks in large part to their only known habitat being owned exclusively by Mochi Miles. Quicksilver slimes are lightning quick, and feed on electricity. This is generally accomplished by their moving really fast and slowly accumulating the static charge they generate. However, Mochi has decided to speed up the process and created a method for feeding them energy in a far more direct fashion.
Risks
Quicksilver slimes are not normally harmful to a rancher as the static they generate has a low current. However, Mochi's method of feeding them a great deal of electricity at once makes quicksilver slimes overcharged with a current high enough to be harmful if touched. So be careful when firing those spark shots as a mob of well-fed quicksilvers could leave you zapped!
Plortonomics
Mochi sells quicksilver plorts off-market and little is known about her buyers or their motives.
Properties
- Spawns in groups once the generator has been activated
- Zooms around the area in a racetrack fashion
- Becomes overcharged when fed electricity; this makes it temporarily harmful on contact
- Plorts can only be carried in the Augmented Vacpack, and are automatically teleported to the Augmented Vacpack's inventory
- Can be directly applied with a slowing effect, and a static charge effect to "feed" nearby Quicksilver Slimes from certain projectiles found in Nimble Valley.
- When time runs out, any remaining quicksilver slimes flee from the player in all directions and despawn.
- Cannot be stored in the vacpack.
