Games like Factorio embrace the dystopian dimension of industry, but I think Slime Rancher seems to have a bit of anxiety about the inevitable march of most players' ranches.
Whoever took this screenshot fucked up when a slime eats 2 other types of poop, it turns into a cannibalistic Tarr slime The markets back on Earth don't care where their plorts come from! When you inevitably run out of space, you end up cramming these cute slimes into wretched conditions, 20-40 slimes to a small 5x5 meter lot - it's easier to deal with them that way, and the game doesn't reward you for humane conditions or free-range livestock. This is basically 50% of your time spent in Slime Rancher: instead of exploring the wilderness, you will probably stay on your ranch for several in-game days without any in-game sleep, constantly working and refining your huge factory farms and feedlots to maximize your profits.
The slimes' preferences were irrelevant they would eat carrots and learn to like it, and in turn, I could then collect copious amounts of quantum poop, and sell it for $125 per lump! Pink slimes are the most basic type of slime they are the only slime that eats "everything." By merging quantum slimes with pink slimes, I had bred "pink quantum largo slimes" that could eat anything - including carrots, perhaps the easiest and most plentiful crop to grow in Slime Rancher. So instead of painstakingly growing phase lemons, I fed some common pink slime poop to the quantum slime. Two poops for the price of one! When you do this on purpose in Slime Rancher, you feel like a genius. If you feed a slime with the poop from another slime, it will become a hybrid "largo" slime that inherits both types' diets and other properties, and it will poop out both types of plorts at once when it eats something. This is where Slime Rancher's other big system comes in, a cross-breeding mechanic that allows you to merge two slime types together. Compared to other crops, it's unusually labor intensive to cultivate and harvest phase lemons. To get phase lemons, you have to bring back a phase lemon from the wild, plant a phase lemon tree, wait for the fruit to mature, and then shoot a different fruit at it (like a cuberry, or a mint mango) to pop the phase lemon into existence.
Quantum slimes eat only fruit, but prefer a special fruit called a " phase lemon". Every slime has a certain diet (vegetables, fruits, or meat) and a specific favorite item. To maximize your slime poop plort yields, you're supposed to feed your slimes as often as possible. To make a huge profit, I intended to raise a few on my ranch in captivity, and then collect their precious poop to sell in the market. One in-game day in Slime Rancher, I found a rare " quantum slime", a creature that pooped out "quantum plorts" that I could sell for a lot of in-game money. This post spoils some mechanics and game systems in Slime Rancher.
