Just which slimes are the best ones to get, and does being cute effect there ranchability?
Honey Slimes
Honey Slimes are delightful little creatures that are made of honey.
Their gooey consistency is nothing to sneeze at either at they can create tons of plorts for you.
This is a non-aggressive breed that you’ve got the option to find happily hopping around Starlight Strand.
The best part of them is their easy diet.
As you may have guessed, these sweet slimes love too much on fruits.
It’s pretty easy to keep a Honey Slime happy as fruit can grow quickly and in high amounts.
One thing you should be careful about is leaving their plorts out in the open.
Due to their irresistible sweetness, other slimes will be attracted to Honey Slime plorts from father away.
This can lead to unwanted Largos and eventually Tarr.
Fire Slime
The Fire Slime is another slime that you may recognize from the first game.
This time they are far easier to get to in the early hours of the game.
They can be found in the volcanic zone of Ember Valley.
You will find them swimming around in the lava pools there and can bring them back to your ranch.
In addition, you’ve got the option to’t just throw them into a normal pen.
They will live under your incinerator.
This makes them pretty unique, though, as they eat a diet of ash.
Just be careful, as they can damage the other slimes on your ranch and yourself.
Puddle Slime
As the name suggests, this is a slime breed that is made entirely out of water.
They are very similar to the Fire Slimes in that they must be found in a special environment.
Puddle Slimes can be found near the Flutter Gordo on Starlight Slime.
They are gently playing around in the ponds created by the waterfalls of the area.
They do need a special pen if you are wanting to keep them.
You will need to set up a pond that is away from your other slimes.
Best of all, you don’t have to do anything to feed them.
Simply add them into a pond, and they will absorb the water and produce plorts.
This easily makes them one of the easiest slime species to care for in the game.
Crystal Slime
The Crystal Slime, like most on this list, was present in the firstSlime Rancher.
Like in the first game, catching this money maker is a bit frustrating at times.
This is because the playful creature loves to make crystals erupt from the ground around it.
Of course, this will damage you and any nearby slimes.
Throw up a net and a high wall to ensure that they stay put.
Luckily, these guys are pretty easy to feed and will happily gobble up any vegetables you throw them.
Their favorite food is the Odd Onion and they can be found rampaging around in Ember Valley.
They are found in caves and in the volcanic section of the map.
Use caution as stepping in the areas lava will damage you, but not the Crystal Slime.
Ringtail Slime
One of the most interesting new additions to the Slime Rancher universe is the Ringtail Slime.
Not only are these creatures extremely cute, but they are easy to capture when you locate them.
Ringtail Slimes spawn in the Starlight Strand.
You will need to be careful when bringing them home, though, as they are mischievous.
It’s crucial that you ensure these slimes are contained, though.
They will happily eat up all the food on your ranch if they manage to escape.
You also may want to place them in an area where there isn’t any food around.
