* The Indigo Quarry had a good reason for being abandoned, despite the amount of resources avalible there. It's home to [[ActionBomb Boom]], [[TheSpiny Rock]], [[ILoveNuclearPower Rad]], and (in certain areas) [[TrapMaster Crystal]] Slimes. These are all the most dangerous slimes in the game. To add on to this, pay attention to the Rad Gordo found there. The Miners most likely mined into its chamber and got hit with some serious radiation. Crosses into FridgeHorror when you consider that it could have honestly killed some of them, or at least given them radiation poisoning (though since it's the future with super-tech and Beatrix suffers no ill effects when going away from radiation--even if she gets hit with enough to get knocked out, she just wakes up at her ranch house later none the worse for wear--it's likely they managed to survive unharmed).

** Tabby slimes, you know, those adorable little cat slimes, [[spoiler: their plorts are used to make what is basically a steroid.]]
** Boom Slimes' plorts [[spoiler: can be used to make bombs and explosives. The game says military organizations want them for "medical purposes", but it's pretty clear what they are really using them for. ''Keep in mind that at the start of the game they are one of the more valuable plorts.'']]
** Mixed with a little FridgeBrilliance: Nitroglycerin has uses both as an explosive and as heart medication. If Boom plorts are being used in a similar fashion, the demand for them will genuinely be high in the medical field.

* As mentioned under TheWoobie on the YMMV page, Gold Slimes have probably been beaten up for a quick Newbuck quite often, as that's the only way to get plorts out of them without the incredibly rare Gilded Ginger. Small wonder they immediately run away when you get too close.

* Similar to the above, why is Bob of all people someone Viktor considers a "colleague" he can leave an explanation of his tech to, even when he acknowledges they've never met and doesn't realize they are pink slimes? Viktor preferred not to engage with others unless his simulations of interactions proved to him it's worth his time, and Bob's limited vocabulary and very specific interest (which the Chicken Cloner falls under) make them ''incredibly'' predictable. How he [[FailedASpotCheck failed the rest of this spot check]] is its own question, but his interest in Bob as a quick consultant over the other more complicated ranchers checks out.

"It's" and "its" are not interchangeable words; "it's" is a contraction of "it is", "its" is a possessive form of the pronoun it, meaning belonging to it.


* If a Drone is stuck in one place long enough, it will eventually phase through whatever it's stuck behind and continue on it's merry way. Out-of-universe, this is a failsafe in case the pathfinding fails. How does this make sense in-universe? Their crafting recipe includes Quantum Plorts.
* The Chicken Cloner seems to only exist as the first reward of Victor's sidequest to set up the gag with [=BOb=], but there is one easy-to-miss connection: the Chicken Cloner's gimmick is that it'll either clone a chicken or make that chicken disappear. Every so often, Glitch Slimes will have a chance to do the same; they'll either split in two, or they'll vanish. Presumably, after enough bug reports, that ability became known enough to be implimented into the Chicken Cloner.

Plorts, which come from the Slime breed that regularly phase through solid objects.
