Greetings starbounders! I'll try to keep this as short as I can, soo, finnaly after finding a slime cave, on a big alien planet, I was really dissapointed, when I found NO chest, but I refused to give up, so I kept digging left, and went from slime, to flesh, and cobblestone, then found slime again, where I was fortunate enough to find 2 goddamn slime chests...only to find in 1 of them, a recipe for a slime torch. After 3 hours, I was amazed to find I was back to the slime caves I first discovered when I was digging vertically. Is this a glitch? or is the slime set so hard to find? which place is best to look for this set? Next time I'm going on a toxic planet, maybe I'll have better luck
If its part of the loot tables, then it will be in game. Its exact rarity however, is a different matter. Based on the configs, slime chests have a 20% chance of having basic treasure and an 80% chance of "slime" based treasure. If the result is slime treasure, there is a 5% chance per part, for the slime armor to appear. To top it off, chests can generate with up to 5 items, decreasing in likelyhood with each. (40% to have 2, and 30% to have 3) each chance has a ~4% chance of being one of the armor parts. tl;dr: its rare.
Nah, not a glitch, I've been that unlucky before. Finding really large biomes that split and combine again eventually, only to find little to no chests, without the items I wanted too. It happens to be the Slime biome too, I eventually did find the Slime set though, but it took me several star systems and searching a multitude of planets. There are times where the biomes contain lots of chests, I guess it's all up to luck, just gotta keep searching.

If you are interested in the numbers: Code: "slimeChestTreasure" : [ [1, { "pool" : [ {"weight" : 0.2, "pool" : "basicTreasure"}, {"weight" : 0.8, "pool" : "slimeTreasure"} ], "poolRounds" : [ [0.05, 1], [0.40, 2], [0.30, 3], [0.15, 4], [0.10, 5] ], "allowDuplication" : false }] ], "slimeTreasure" : [ [1, { "pool" : [ {"weight" : 0.2, "item" : ["greenslime", 30]}, {"weight" : 0.05, "item" : "slimechair-recipe"}, {"weight" : 0.05, "item" : "slimebed-recipe"}, {"weight" : 0.05, "item" : "slimehide-recipe"}, {"weight" : 0.05, "item" : "slimechest"}, {"weight" : 0.05, "item" : "slimehead"}, {"weight" : 0.05, "item" : "slimelegs"}, {"weight" : 0.2, "item" : ["slimetorch", 10]}, {"weight" : 0.05, "item" : "cutarrh"}, {"weight" : 0.05, "item" : "katarrhna"}, {"weight" : 0.2, "item" : ["slimehandgrapple", 5]} ] }] ]
I'll say, the expedition to the Toxic Ocean planet's underground, was a succes. If you have the patiance to carefully build a tunnel through the ocean, until you reach the ocean floor, it's worth the effort. Well I could say I got lucky enough too, the first mini-biome I encountered was Slime caves, and it was larger than the previous one I found on the alien planet. Not only I got to find 3 slime chest within 5 minutes of landing there, but I got the head, and pants part as well, exploring the whole cave (took me an hour) found 9 chests in total, out of which I got a ton of slime torches, and a few recipes. So to anyone looking for these items, i'd say check the Toxic biome.
Or you could craft some Antidotes (4 Bio Sample & 1 Glass Bottle) which makes you immune to Poison for 5 minutes, then you can swim around in it, there's actually tons of Toxic Chests hidden in rooms throughout the ocean floor.
