Plorts

Plorts are a fictional resource found in the video game Slime Rancher. They are produced by slimes, which are the primary inhabitants of the game's world. Each species of slime produces a unique type of plort, identifiable by its color and shape. For example, the common Pink Slime produces Pink Plorts, while the more dangerous Tarr Slime produces Tarr Plorts.

These plorts are the main commodity players collect and sell in the game to earn Newbucks, the in-game currency. The value of different plorts fluctuates based on supply and demand within the game's economy. Players can create "Grottoes" or "Farms" to house slimes and manage their plort production.

The process of obtaining plorts involves feeding slimes their preferred foods. Different slimes have dietary preferences, and feeding them specific fruits, vegetables, or even other plorts will increase their plort output. Some slimes, known as Largo slimes, are a combination of two slime types and produce plorts from both species. Managing these Largo slimes is a key strategy for maximizing plort profits.

Plorts are not only used for selling but also for crafting various upgrades and tools within the game. These upgrades can improve player efficiency in collecting plorts, expanding their ranch, or enhancing their ability to manage more dangerous slimes. The acquisition and strategic use of plorts are central to the progression and success in Slime Rancher.
