Power Slugs are collectibles which are used to craft Power Shards, which enable overclocking of buildings. They appeared as glowing immobile slugs and can found around the world. They do not respawn and there is a limited number in the world, but a small amount of renewable Power Slugs can be found with the aid of tamed Lizard Doggos. They can be researched at the M.A.M. to unlock overclocking of buildings, along with recipes to craft slugs into Power Shards at a Craft Bench.

There are green, yellow and purple slugs scattered around the map, which can be crafted into 1, 2 and 5 s respectively, with increasing rarity.

Obtaining
Power slugs can be searched for using the, with one setting searching for slugs of any color. They are luminescent and can be easily spotted at night. Picking up a Power Slug requires the player to hold down the interact button (default ) for 3 seconds while facing it. Using the photo mode and zoom in  can act as a binocular which helps the search.

There are currently 763 Power Slugs known in-game; 409 green, 230 yellow, and 124 purple. 1 slug of each type is consumed as part of research in the M.A.M.. The upper limit of obtainable Power Shards is infinite, as Lizard Doggos can generate an infinite amount of slugs over time. The upper limit of non-renewable collectible power shards is 1489.

Trivia

 * Power slugs lose their color once picked up. When the player attempt to place it down onto the floor or dispensing it onto a belt via a Storage Container, all varieties of slug appear to have same color: greenish spikes and reddish body.
