So when you pop a Gold Gordo, you get 10 gold slimes, if you hit them before they disappear (with fruit, veggies or even plorts, NOT MATERIALS), you can get a gold plort (3 if you have purchased the upgrade). Also is quite labor intensive (as maxing 999 gold plorts would be)

Take this with a grain of salt tho, since i play on Xbox i can't testify of this working on Play station or PC, anyway. ***This turn out to be a larger than expected reply in another post, so may aswell make it into a post right? ***
