I Love Slicksters – Morphs !

Spice Up Your Colony with New Slickster Variants!

Are you looking to add a bit more flair and utility to your duplicant’s ecosystem? If you’ve ever found the standard Slickster a little too… plain, then this mod is for you! It introduces a delightful array of new Slickster morphs, each with unique behaviors, resource outputs, and habitat needs. Prepare to be surprised by the sheer diversity these creatures bring to your asteroid base.

Enhanced Critter Dynamics

This mod significantly revamps how Slicksters function within your colony. Their consumption rates can be substantially increased, meaning fewer critters are needed to achieve the same or even greater resource generation. This not only makes them more impactful but also helps reduce potential performance impacts from having too many entities on screen. For those who prefer the vanilla experience, consumption rates can be adjusted or disabled via in-game options.

New Slickster Morphs and Their Contributions

Dive into the exciting world of specialized Slicksters, each offering distinct advantages:

• Ethanol Slickster: Transforms Carbon Dioxide into valuable Ethanol, providing a new fuel source.
• OwO Slickster: Converts Oxygen into Hydrogen and grants a stress-reducing “OwO Effect” alongside decor bonuses.
• Leafy Slickster: A plant-like critter that thrives on light, produces Oxygen from Carbon Dioxide, Algae from Chlorine, Phosphorite from Oxygen, and Coal from Natural Gas. It also drops flowers and floral spores upon death.
• Robot Slickster: A metallic marvel that produces Steel from Carbon Dioxide, Steam, or Sour Gas, and drops Steel upon demise, with a slight chance of dispensing Zombie Spores.
• Frozen Slickster: Specializes in thermodynamic applications, creating Antigel from Carbon Dioxide and Oxylite from Oxygen.
• Aqua Slickster: An aquatic-loving variant found in various water types. It yields Fish Meat when it dies and can be tamed in an aquarium. Its outputs include Natural Gas from Water, Slime from Dirty Water, Wolframite from Antigel, and Sedimentary Rock from Salt Water/Brine.

Additional Colony Enhancements

Beyond the new critters, this mod introduces custom Slickster variants and their eggs into care packages, offering a surprise boost to your early game. A new world generation trait, ‘Slicksteria,’ based on Arboria, can also be encountered, featuring increased natural Slickster populations and similar biome challenges. Furthermore, the mod adds new recipes to the Super Refinery, allowing for easier acquisition of specific Slickster variants to suit your colony’s needs.
