What to do with Puft slime?

[evenflow58]

Pufts create slime. Slime can be converted into algae but is that all you can do right now? Here's a current setup I have with a puft locked in a bunch of polluted oxygen. I can use the clime to create algae and allow the water to feed thimble reeds but is this the best way to use a puft? Might there be a way to use this area without dups constantly having to pick up the slime?

If you can make the floor comfortable for hatches then you can have free coal.

Slime can be "baked" into dirt and dirt into sand.

You would need dupes to carry the slime out of the room else it would kill the puft tho. And the op wants a way to deal with it without involving dupes.

you can submerge it in liquid, where it won't emit polluted oxygen, and then let it sit there and build up. This is a good way of removing pO2 from the world.

The dusk caps in the outbreak upgrade will require slime as fertilizer

That cracked me up. Nevermind it says "Outbreak Update" on the splash screen Yog clicked past. ;P

On topic, outside of hatch feeding there isn't a lot of 'automatic' things you can do with it outside of letting it drop in water and ignoring it.

Letting it fall into water to let it 'build up' is probably the best way to utilise it.

Letting it evaporate basicly returns the pO2 that was sucked up back into the world, making the work of the puft pointless.

Yeah but it means u get to watch the cute wee guy poop eternally XD

I'd rather have him eat up all the pO2 and take the slime to make algae and pH2O. There's so much pO2 everywhere anyways due to there not being an upper limit on the pressure of pO2 generated in pockets with pH2O. They make expanding your base a pain.
