What Did We Play Yesterday?

I tried Slime Rancher a few years ago and it didn't grab me. Trying it again, I have mixed feelings. Partly, because it makes me motion sick. But also because it feels really repetitive, and I play a lot of games with repetitive actions but for some reason it's different here.

I'm giving it a fair shake, though. I've got a chicken coop and garden going, and I've got two types of slimes I'm raising (ranching?). They say a big part of the fun is creating new types of slimes, so the next goal is to combine Tabbies and Rocks and go from there.

Turning off head bob helps a lot.

Continuing to collect Largos. I am only interested in new slimes, and I haven't been finding any! I unlocked one area near the ranch and found more of the same. So IDK. I've kinda got my hands full with the 3 pens I have, and but plort prices keep dropping so I'd like to find something new and more lucrative.

I keep finding treasure pods I can't open, as well as gates I can't open. I also found Gordo slimes. But no new ranchable slimessss agasd

I exploded a Gordo, and used the key to unlock the quarry, and now I'm into it. This area has several new slimes, including the bomb and rad slimes, which are a little more dangerous to ranch so I'm keeping them on adjacent property. These slimes are way more lucrative than the others, so I incinerated my pink largos (later realizing I probably could have just yeeted them off a cliff...) and experimented with making a rad bomb largo.

I'm having a hard time keeping these bad boys fed, so the plan is to set up a bank, stock up on plorts so I'll have whatever I need for quests, and yeet the rest of the largos to focus on the new slimes. I'm also gonna see if I can do something to increase my chickens beyond having a fully upgraded coop.

Anyway, it got its hooks into me now, yay!

How it's going. I made a bunch of bomb-rad largos. I found a few new vegetables and planted those bad boys immediately. I got the water slimes, and figured out they won't make plorts if you have more than 4 so I thinned them out (no more incineration, from now on slimes will be yeeted into the ocean as god intended). I also unlocked the lab, and built a mining device. 3 slime pens is really all i can handle without auto feeders, so i guess that's the next upgrade.

I tracked down some crystal slimes, but got kinda lost, and then tar slimes showed up you know how it goes. I haven't yet decided what to do with the crystal slimes. I have some phosphoro tabby largos that I no longer have a steady fruit supply for, and running them back and forth to the cave ranch seems like a PITA. Obviously this is what you're supposed to build teleporters for. I'll figure it out. I'll probably just yeet them.

Discovered and overfed some more gordos, and now I officially have a pen of crystal slime to deal with. I tossed a bunch of pink slimes in the free range next to my main range, and they sometimes combine with the bomb slimes that escape but for the most part everything seems to be working out.

Unfortunately, the game continues to give me nausea despite messing with the graphics options and removing head bob, so this may be the end of the slime ranching adventure. I might give it a shot on my Steam Deck to see if the smaller screen helps.
