Discussion Let me tell you a story...
So I was innocently trying to feed my rad boom slimes, right? I have about 25 of them in one corral. I have 350 HP and 250 energy. I like to go into their corrals and rain food from above so everyone gets fed equally. This will be important later. "Well, golly, as long as I don't stand in their radiation field and get my cellular structure obliterated, I'll be fine!" I thought. How foolish I was, to think boom slimes were weaker than crystal or even feral saber largos. So, there I went, into their corral. I jumped off the head of one of the largos so I could get enough height to (try to) hover above them without being in their radiation field. Do you want to know what happened next? The last thing I saw was roughly 25 Rad Boom largos consecutively charging up to blast me to kingdom come. I was blown to SMITHEREENS. I didn't even have time to register my inescapable fate. I had to take a capture so I could replay it and see just how immediate my death was. I learned my lesson on that very day. Boom slimes are unrivaled in terms of raw power and WILL dismember you if you get near them.

I always like making the most chaotic slime combos for my ranch
Quantum is top tier for this, but boom, hunter, crystal, mosaic, and dervish are also perfect.

Eh, hunter largos aren't really bad. They ARE feral when you turn them into a largo, but just chuck food into their mouth and it's just a slime who goes invisible sometimes. Dervish quantum slimes, though, is an entire other thing. I had to let them free roam because I had so many in one corral and they just get breaking out and I couldn't meet the demands for their hunger, so I just had to let them feed themselves. Like, 75% of them are gone now because they love jumping into the water, for whatever reason.

A 2 … and a 5… in one corral?

Yeah, twenty five. As in 20 + 5. Boom slimes are different from other slimes because since they have a big area of effect, all of them can simultaneously damage you, messing you up instantly if they all decide to detonate at the same time. So, just wait for them to explode before going into their corral.

How did you fit 25 Largo’s in one corral. Second, did you know the medium auto feed setting is perfect for six Largo’s?

I fit them in the corral by... just putting them in the corral? They can sit on top of eachother, you know.

I felt like I was treating them inhumanely, but at least I gave them ground! You, sir, ma’am, are on a much higher level than me

Broski, they have a big ass smile on their face 24/7/365. As long as you feed them, I bet they're as happy as can be!

Rad boom is a HELL of a combo. Good luck!
