Oh god oh poo poo it's drooling. I will have one (or seven) I need to get a chicken coop, too. Not to feed them to any slimes, just to have the little bug-eyed fuckers around.

Letting the chickens (plus a rooster, of course) just roam around your ranch will eventually lead to having so many chickens that it can tank your framerate. It can be kind of a risky play, but stepping out your front door to see a horde of goofy birds just ambling around the place is pretty great

A thing that I've heard suggested that works for me is simply to dump a bunch of free-range Phosphor Slimes into the Grotto, and setting up a bunch of Cubefruit (their favorite food) gardens. I'm tempted to do largos in there, but the same person who recommended this strategy said that the Grotto is a bit glitchy for them. My other 'main slimes' at the moment (I don't have much unlocked) are Pink Tabbys, Phosphor Rocks, Rad Crystal, and Honey Booms.

Combined Tabby/Phosphor slimes with four cube trees and there's like 100+plorts there whenever I check it. I'm kind of suprised I haven't crashed the game cause there are a ton of slimes there, even more than the gif suggests. a more zoomed out look  Sivek fucked around with this message at 09:14 on Aug 5, 2017 |

[X] Tabbies are my favourite kind of slime, but Phosphor Tabby Slimes, with their tiny flitty wings and cat everything else take the cake for maximum cute in my opinion

Oh boy I might have hosed up. I found me some Hunter Slimes, saw they were carnivores, and thought about my new free-range cat ranch I unlocked (whatever the region that spawns wild chickens is called.) I figured Hunter-Tabbies would be a great hybrid! I did not figure that Hunter-Tabbies would be openly hostile until fed every time I visit. I hope they don't find their way into my central ranch-- the path between the two is kind of serpentine, and I suspect the devs made that corridor hard for slimes to cross because sometimes they DO break out. Especially the ones that can activate Predator Mode. On the bright side, if I sell enough of these Hunter Plorts I might be able to buy me a respectable avatar!

Haha, you showed a bunch of cats an infinite supply of chickens and now they've seized the supply for themselves. The slimes are revolting! Worse comes to worst, just throw rock plort or something in there and let nature take its course Sivek posted:

What amount of chickens do you guys tend to leave in a co-op when you harvest them? I tend to leave one roostro and five hens so it fills up faster but I wonder if it could be more efficient.

they stop breeding pretty much immediately once there's about a dozen in a pen, so i usually just take every adult hen barring one of each type

How do I stop the pink slimes from eating all my chickens? I made a chicken coop because I found a cat slime and was keeping it in my gun while I got a chicken farm going but some escaped and now I have no chickens

Farm plots to provide a ton of fruit / veggies / whatever. One of the ranch expansions opens up to a place that has a lot of fruit spawns, as well as carrots and chickens. It also has four more plots, I make them into farm plots as well. There is a slime pen upgrade that adds an autofeeder. If it is completely overflowing with slimes even after the high walls + net upgrade it won't be able to keep up, but it helps when there is a dozen or so. You don't really need 200 pink slimes on your ranch. I can understand the appeal of having that many, but there are so many other slimes to find!

Guy Mann posted:I played some of this when it was in the Humble Monthly Bundle, has the early game changed enough from them to v1 for it to be worth starting a fresh save or should I load up my old one? eh, not particularly, though there's sort of a story mode-like thing with logs scattered throughout the areas that you might miss if you just go to the areas you haven't been to yet. Then again there are more things to spend your money/plorts on like the science stuff, additional ranch expansions and color customization. I actually haven't played since before the glass desert area came out so maybe there's more differences. Martha Stewart Undying posted:how the gently caress do you people collect plorts w/o the auto collector. thats too tedious man. There's so many plorts that it takes like a minute tops to get 50 of both types since each of those slimes is putting out 4 plorts. Mainly though I just like how it looks.

Good model, even though I don't really like the bright red nose. Maybe the game's twist is that she's actually allergic to slimes? That'd be funny.

I just started messing around in the glass desert and I did not like it at first because I found it hard to navigate like the ruins area but I figured out the gimmick and it was cool. I do wish that areas just had unlockable teleports behind slime key doors instead of having to make them because I'm out of teleports and I'm long way from home. The whole extractor/drill stuff is a grind the game could do without. edit: literally after I posted this there was a patch that makes extractors and stuff take much less time to extract, as well as making gardens infinite respawning. also maps plus the items necessary to make your first teleporter behind the lab in a pod. all of these are good things!

Man, I'd kill for more finesse with the auto-feeder. I've generally got 4-5 largos in a pen, and no matter which setting I have the thing set at, I see a lot of food on the floors of every corral.

Aw, I'm a little disappointed that they made gardens infinite. I genuinely liked having to plan ahead a little to keep things going or maybe change crops once the 'season' ended, it never seemed like a big deal if I was occasionally not prepared for a lapsed garden. Like my farming games to feel hands on, even if everyone else seems to be all about that automation...

Hands on is cool up until the point where you have to juggle time doing farming poo poo and between doing other fun stuff. If I want hands on i'll play farming simulator.

It'll be especially good for phase lemons, since you need to have your timing on point to harvest those. In fact with this change I could probably ditch my silo altogether. Slime science makes it kind of redundant anyway.

Unrelated to the below but rather important:  Monomi pushed an update two hours ago that made me lose ~5 days after regularly falling through the ranch's floor . Not sure if I'm the only one, and it resolved itself with a quit-and-restart, but be careful.I found this tweet about Slime Largo names, and it got me wondering: do you have any specific names for certain Largos? Since the image is a bit small and hard to read, here's the filled-in ones in text: Pink Boom is a Pepto Abysmal Pink Dervish is a Pepto Planet Pink Rock is a Jelly Roll Pink Honey is a Coffin Candy Pink Tabby is a Hello Kitty Pink Phosphor is a Night Light Honey Tangle is an Agave Honey Mosaic is an Amber Honey Tabby is a Calico Honey Rock is a Rock Candy Honey Dervish is a Taffy Boom Tangle is a Fire Flower Boom Phosphor is a Fire Fly Boom Honey is a Fool's Gold Boom Tabby is a Hell Cat Boom Rock is a Pop Rock Quantum Mosaic is a Hologram Quantum Tangle is a Marigold Quantum Dervish is a Planet X Quantum Tabby is a Schrodinger's Cat Phosphor Mosaic is a Disco Ball Phosphor Tangle is a Piccolo Phosphor Tabby is a Thunder Cat Phosphor Rock is a Glowstone Phosphor Honey is a Honey Bee Rad Dervish is a Kyrpton Rock Tabby is a Dust Bunny Tabby Dervish is a Cattelite Tabby Mosaic is a Nyan Cat Hunter Dervish is a Caturn Hunter Mosaic is a Predator Tangle Mosaic is a Glass Rose Dervish Mosaic is a Celestial Crystal Mosaic is a Diamond Edited to satify my OCD more than I could in Excel proper MisterBibs fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Aug 9, 2017 |

Never mind, answered my own question. Now that I've got everything sussed out, might as well mention that (after a madness-inducing amount of using excel to shift things around in my head to a way I'd like), I finally settled on my slime breakdown, now that I've got every type somewhere on the ranch and I only had to decide on which hybrids look the nicest: Lab: - Pink Docks: - Water - Fire Grotto: - Honey Bees (Phosphor / Honey), freerange Overgrowth: - Bublacat (Tangle/Hunter), freerange Main Ranch: - Uraniums (Rad/Rock) - Schrodinger's Cat (Quantum / Tabby) - Crystalline Entity (Crystal/Mosaic) - Unstable Planet (Boom/Dervish) MisterBibs fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Aug 12, 2017 |
