Slime Essence, along with its sub-type, Slime Essence Fusing, is a game mechanic that can be used when using the Slime Essence Injectors, Extractors, and Amalgamators. You can get slime essence by using the Extractor, and it'll suck the life force out of your source slime and contain it in a small bottle. Each bottle of slime essence has traits of its source slime, whether it be a normal slime or a largo. The injector is used to inject slime essence into a slime, giving it traits of the slime essence, and can be used for both normal and largo slimes. The amalgamator is used for fusing items or slimes with slime essence, varying from food to Slime Science resources.
How to Get(Gadgets)[]
The Injector[]
Before building an Injector, you must get its blueprint. It is hidden in a Treasure Pod Mk III, in the northeast area of the Glass Desert. After obtaining the blueprint, you must get 30 Honey Plorts, 18 Hexacombs and 4 Lava Dust. It will then install itself for 2 real-time minutes. It is recommended to have Tier 3 or higher Slime Science Resource Extractors in order to quickly obtain everything needed, as it requires a lot of uncommon and rare resources.
The Extractor[]
Just as before, you need to get a blueprint for this gadget. It is hidden in a Treasure Pod Mk III, in the southwest area of the Glass Desert. After obtaining the blueprint, it is required to get 30 Boom Plorts, 18 Spiral Steam and 4 Strange Diamonds in order to build it. It will then install itself for 2 real-time minutes. It is recommended to have Tier 3 or higher Slime Science Resource Extractors in order to quickly obtain everything needed, as it requires a lot of uncommon and rare resources.
The Amalgamator[]
You need to have a blueprint for this gadget in order to build it. The blueprint is hidden in the center area of the Glass Desert. You must have 45 Pink Plorts, 15 Indigonium and 5 Silky Sand in your Refinery in order to build this gadget. It will then install itself for 2 real-time minutes.
Slime Essence[]
Slime Essence is a Slime Science resource which can be obtained by using the Extractor on a slime. It is, essentially, the life force of its source slime contained in a small spherical bottle. Depending on its source slime, it will have the source slime's visual traits, e.g. Pink Slime Essence having Pink Slime's color, Rock/Tabby Essence having Rock Slime's rocks and Tabby Slime's stripes and so on.
However, it is not necessary to use slimes as a main source of slime essence, as it can be made without slaughtering one. You can place any Slime Science Resource other than Slime Essence itself into the Extractor, and since the Extractor won't detect any slimes, it will produce a type of slime essence also known as Pure Slime Essence. It can be used for making other types of Slime Essence(however that is quite a waste of resources), but is mostly used for fusing it with other items.
Tri-slime/Quad-slime Largos made with Slime Essence are bigger than normal largos, but the difference is pretty subtle, with Tri-slime Largos being only 1.2x times bigger than regular largos, and Quad-slime Largos being 1.4x times bigger than regular largos. However if these largos will turn into Tarrs, they will be much bigger in comparison to standart Tarrs, and will deal more damage to the rancher.
Also, Slime Essence can not be used for any types of Tarrs, as their body composition is too unstable to absorb Slime Essence the way normal slimes/largos do.
Slime Essence Fusing[]
Slime Essence Fusing is a sub-type of Slime Essence mechanic, in which slime essence is fused with either a slime or an item, whether it be a Slime Science Resource, Food, or something else, like a Plort. Slime Essence Fusing can be done by putting a slime/item and slime essence into the Amalgamator and activating it, starting the process of fusion. It will take 1 real-time minute for the Amalgamator to fuse the source slime/item with slime essence, and when it's done, a new slime will be made. In other words, Slime Essence Fusing is making new slimes out of other slimes/items and slime essence.
Slimes made with Slime Essence Fusing might retain the source slime and slime essence traits, or get completely new traits; these slimes will also get their individual Slimepedia pages.

Royal Jelly Slime or Royal Jellyfish is a rare slime that inhabits The Moss Blanket, but can also be made by fusing Pure Slime Essence with Royal Jelly. Royal Jellyfish are bigger than regular slimes, but smaller than regular largo slimes.

Dark Inferno Slime[]
This one takes some effort. First, you need to combine fire slime essence with a hot peppa to get inferno essence. Then, combine the inferno essence with indigonium to get purple inferno essence. Finally, combine that with primory oil to finally make dark inferno essence. You can then inject that into a fire slime, only a fire slime, to get the dark inferno slime.
Dimmed Slime[]
The little accident caused by infusing any other slime than a fire slime with dark inferno essence.
