Hey @Seeli, thanks for making this suggestion. I actually posted a PR "fixing up" xenobio before you made this thread, but I didn't know slime reproduction was awfully bugged until I read your post, so, I quickly figured out what was wrong and corrected it. Slimes will now properly eat, gain nutrition, and kill fools. The PR can be found here: https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/7993
Currently, it's only a "Touch-Up", as the name implies. I don't intend to make drastic changes just yet. Once this is merged I want to move forward and expand upon xenobio, hopefully I don't burn out or lose interest before then.
I would also like to note that I absolutely adore Prey (2017), the Typhon are super interesting and slimes hit a lot of chords for me that the Typhon did. So if I ever make adjustments to Xenobio, Prey will likely be a huge influence for it.
I wouldn't take a non-developer's words at face value, especially if they speak for the whole team. While it's true that some members of Science shits on PRs, the team works for the people that appreciate the effort, which is why I decided to fix Xenobiology in the first place. In short, no, this is pretty much false. (The shitcode is correct though, holy fuckoly.)
