"The crystals on these slugs can be harvested and converted into power shards that function with current FICSIT technology."

Power Slugs are passive creatures that don't seem to move or respawn, but they can be found with the aid of a lizard doggo. They can be picked up as items and researched at the M.A.M., unlocking extra milestones at the HUB. Finishing those milestones unlocks overclocking, along with recipes to convert 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 respectively. The more shards they make, the less common they are.

Green
Green Power Slugs are the most common, and are often found within plain sight on small stone spires, on the trees or hills that rarely require a ladder or a to reach.

Yellow
Yellow Power Slugs are a bit rarer, and can often be found in and around the gas rocks, on trees, near/on cliff faces and other difficult-to-traverse places. Most yellow slugs are heavily guarded by local creatures, or poison clouds (You can use a to get through these easily). You will often need to construct a tall ladder to reach them.

Research
Picking up any type of Power Slug unlocks the Power Slug Research Tree in the M.A.M.

Obtaining
Power slugs can be searched for using the, with one setting searching for slugs of any color. They are luminescent, so most easily spotted at night. Picking up a Power Slug requires the player to hold down the interact button for 3 seconds while facing it.

There are currently 640 Power Slugs known in-game; 353 green, 179 yellow, and 108 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, however, if you do not use Lizard Doggos, the upper limit of obtainable power shards is 1251.

Trivia

 * Power slugs lose their color once being 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 greenish spikes and reddish body.Red-Green Power Slug.png
