Well, the way it works is:
Let's say you have 100 units of slime.
Take 2% from that.
Now you have 98 units of slime.
Take 2% from that again (next cycle)
Now you have 96.04 units.
Btw, I already changed it back as we agreed that no change in necessary. Just lower your slime costs.
I still think slime production is just a waste of energy for the bot though.
Slime is used to defend vs virus attacks as well as bots trying to tie to your bot.
