Re: What Reagents should make Gold Slime mobs for cytology?

The way to design samples is to ensure that the recipes for the different mobs conflict to make growing more difficult. I'd support a paranormal type sample with spacebat, eyeball, aberrant residue, mimic, etc though. Random spawn mimics in maint carrying a standalone mimic sample could also be cool.
