plort

Plort is a term originating from the video game Slime Rancher. In the game, plorts are the excrement of slimes, which are creatures that inhabit the planet. These plorts are a primary resource that the player collects and sells. Different types of slimes produce different kinds of plorts, and the rarity and value of these plorts vary. For example, a standard "pink plort" is common and less valuable, while plorts from rarer slimes like "tabby plorts" or "rad plorts" are more sought after.

The economy of Slime Rancher is largely driven by the collection and trading of plorts. Players can grow their own slimes by feeding them specific foods, which in turn produce more plorts. These plorts can then be exchanged for Newbucks, the in-game currency. Newbucks are used to purchase upgrades for the player's ranch, expand their territory, and acquire better equipment. The mechanics surrounding plorts are central to the gameplay loop of exploration, resource management, and ranch expansion. Certain combinations of slimes, known as "Gordo slimes," also yield valuable plorts when their requirements are met. The concept of plorts is a unique and defining element of Slime Rancher's whimsical and colorful world.
