How many times have we seen farming games where you suddenly inherited a small rancho from your distant relative and move out into the suburbs to get it back to glory again? In Slime Rancher 3, everything is basically the same, but with an interesting sci-fi twist – the events unfold in a far galaxy, on an unknown planet inhabited by all kinds of slimes that are somehow very valuable to the human race which has colonized much of the outer space. There is quite a journey waiting for you, and in the end you are supposed to become a professional slime ranger knowledgeable about different slime species and capable of turning your very own slime rancho into a source of stable income!

What is it like to have a rancho on another planet?

So, meet your extraterrestrial charges! Don’t worry, you won’t have to butcher these cuties for their delicious meat. They are on your farm to produce something else – a sort of crystals that seem to be rather in demand all over space and can quickly boost your wealth if you approach the whole thing reasonably, like a real businessman. How exactly do you make your slimes produce those crystals everyone is so eager to get? You have to feed them the right food and then wait for the crystals to appear. Each type of slimes prefers their own favorite food. Some aren’t too capricious and you can feed them almost anything. However, the rarer the slime the more specific their diet is.

How to grow slimes?

Overall, there are three kinds of food you can give to your slimes: fruits, vegetables and, unexpectedly, chicken. You can either find them around your farm or produce them on your own. For instance, vegetables and fruits can be grown in the garden and you can also equip a cage for chicken to make sure you’re stocked up on all kinds of delicacies preferred by your little multicolored buddies.

However, if you decide to save up on homemade food and stick with the old-fashioned gathering and hunting, make sure you finish your business by the end of the day. When night falls, the neighborhood gets full of horrible man-eating slimes that won’t miss a chance to try human flesh.
