==Slime Eggs==

Occasionally slimes will drop [[Slime Egg]]s. These can be used in the Slime Hutch to hatch into Slimes. There are currently 5 kinds of [[Slime Egg]]s which will hatch into their respective slime colors/patterns: green, blue, red, purple, and tiger.

Building a Slime Hutch unlocks the ability for slimes to occasionally drop [[Slime Egg]]s. These can be used in the Slime Hutch to hatch into Slimes. There are currently 5 kinds of [[Slime Egg]]s which will hatch into their respective slime colors/patterns: green, blue, red, purple, and tiger.

Eggs can also be generated for the hutch by using 100 [[Slime]] in a [[Slime Egg-Press]]. While 4 colors can be obtained this way (excluding Tiger Slime eggs), green eggs have a much greater chance of being produced.

===Mating Color Results===

The game generates a random pick from the following table. Each of the red, green, and blue color components of the slime is calculated independently of the other colors using the values from the parent Slimes. The most likely pick has a random chance of two outcomes per color component, also calculated independently of the other components. <ref name="matingcolor" />

The game randomly picks a method from the following table to determine how the color will be calculated. Using this chosen method each of the red, green, and blue color components of the slime is then calculated independently using the values from the parent Slimes. The most likely method has a separate roll for each color component to determine whether the maximum or the average of the parents' components will be used. <ref name="matingcolor" />

*Placing a [[Wicked Statue]] inside the slime hutch prevents the Witch from cursing it.

*The interior is 16*8 (128 tiles), with 7 occupied tiles on the inside, and 1 blocked tile under the existing incubator that cannot be used to place items, leaving 120 tiles of usable space remaining. This leaves around 13*8 (104 tiles) of space to use for other purposes (kegs, preserves jars, etc.) while still being able to effectively house (and water) 20 slimes.

*The interior is 16*8 (128 tiles), with 6 occupied tiles on the inside, leaving 122 tiles of usable space remaining. (1 additional tile is blocked by a [[Slime Incubator]] at first, but this can be removed with a tool.) This leaves around 13*8 (104 tiles) of space to use for other purposes (kegs, preserves jars, etc.) while still being able to effectively house (and water) 20 slimes.
