In order to save some time and money, we’ll want to start growing crops in Gardens that can be harvested to feed our Slimes. Having to forage for food to keep our Slimes healthy and productive can be time consuming and repetitive. Now that you have a wad of fresh, steamy Plorts in your pockets after feeding your Slimes - you’ll want to reinvest it. These dangerous critters are strict vegetarians, with a particular favorite in Heart Beets.Īfter collecting a fair amount of food for our hungry Slimes, you’ll want to cash in on those fresh Plorts that they graciously left for you to collect in their pen. Rock Slimes however, are a bit more picky.

They will eat literally anything! Find any edibles out in The Dry Reef to bring back to them. The great thing about Pink Slimes is their diverse diet. In order for your newly domesticated Slimes to produce fresh Plorts, you’ll need to feed them. It is very important that you do NOT ever mix more than two types of Slimes together, as it will result in some unpleasant offspring ( The Tarr). Once your Vacpack is full of these two types of Slimes, head back to The Ranch and toss ’em in their Corrals. You’ll want to be careful when collecting Rock Slimes, as their spiky exteriors can damage you. The reason we chose Rock Slimes over other common Slimes, is because they have a more accommodating diet to cater to and their Plorts yield high economic returns. Now that you have a couple of Corrals setup, head back out to The Dry Reef to start sucking up some Pink and Rock Slimes. Use the money you make from the first couple runs in The Dry Reef to buy a few Corrals. Once your Vacpack is full of Plorts, cash them all in at the Plort Market. Spend your first trip to the Dry Reef only collecting Plorts that are dropped by Slimes. If you cant find enough Plorts laying around, pick up some nearby food to feed a hungry group of Pink Slimes. Pink Slimes will no doubt be the most common species you’ll encounter. Once a Slime eats a piece of food, they’ll pop out a Plort. Technically, Plorts are excrement of Slimes. Plorts can be found as soon as you venture out into The Dry Reef. In order to afford these luxuries, you’ll need to start collecting Plorts. To get off to a quick start, you’ll want to invest in some Corrals and Gardens. You’ll notice that you’ll have 8 plots to work with.
