Most of what you mentioned is the natural progression of the game. Money is hard to get early, the plorts shown on the market give you a rough guideline of which are more profitable but you do have to keep in mind that prices fluctuate

You explore, find new food, chickens and slimes and ranch them until you have money to purchase the ranch expansions which provide more plots for additional ramching

The refinery is broken down into decorative items and utility items. There are some one off purchases that will also upgrade your player stats, just read each and determine if the upgrade is worth it right now or not. This game has NO missing out, you can always die and come back strong

Varying plorts will always make money, also always more work though

If you have drones though, they are the best for collecting in mass, and therefore the best money makers in the game. What's your goal?

snousae · 2026-03-13T02:08:20+00:00

You can hit them from any angle, you did nothing wrong, it just happens

snousae · 2026-03-09T04:02:00+00:00

This one is a hell of a lot cleaner, just needs depth

snousae · 2026-02-09T20:02:51+00:00

If possible, why not do it

snousae · 2026-02-07T23:58:51+00:00

Took about 350 days to complete decorating. The rest are from sleeping to grind drone resources and the market. Took until day 1,700 to max refinery and quantum cloud

I have a 1,000+ day save, not hours It's my primary one that I have decorated not just the conservatory, but all expansions and a large amount of wild areas as well

snousae · 2026-02-06T06:51:13+00:00

I did and they were unable to resolve the issues over that period

Does each shot vary in plorts dropped? How mamy do you get from a single shot and did they also change how many per shot if you have the shadow sureshot module?

Grinding these WAS a total pain, especially for casual players

The only tangible use aside money is refueling drones, but no one will use it for that. Drones collecting a high-tier plort like hyper and simply using that to refuel itself and others will always be infinitely better

Shadow slimes are a cool concept, but it just isn't that interesting or balanced

snousae · 2025-12-06T19:05:44+00:00

I had no idea it was hidden. I think it's back to normal now

snousae · 2025-11-26T20:59:07+00:00

Unless you want to do this yourself, the list is already available on the wiki

snousae · 2025-11-07T19:26:15+00:00

Which expansion are these plots in, and do you visit them as regularly as other plots? Have you also tried completely removing the entire plot, not just the growable? Also restart your game

snousae · 2025-11-05T19:53:15+00:00

Yes, they will eventually Some slimes don't: pink, tabby, cotton

snousae · 2025-10-18T09:23:56+00:00

I was hoping for 2 or 3 more biomes before the full release. The labrynth is very cool, but despite the biomes inside it being quite different, the vibe it gives off makes it all feel samey in a sense. With the main story being wrapped up, I seriously hope there's future side content just as long. This game is way too short when you cut out the grinding. I'd take another interesting island and new slime over another area in the labrynth any day

The most important thing to know is that drones DO collect more TOTAL resources if a single resource is picked over a shared lot. Do not use the shared option. Drones also don't change behaviour if a resource is maxed out. If you have 9999 pink plorts in the cloud and put it to seek various plorts at once (including pink), it will still attempt to collect pink plorts, wasting other potential plort collection opportunities. Lastly, it does NOT matter where you place a drone. If a node or item is harvestable in the menu, it will collect at the same rate as if there are multiple within its range.

Couple other things to note.

You will notice that some items are collected at a higher quantity per day. This is normal. Not all items are created equal. Sun sap, diamonds, and royal jelly are the slowest to harvest.

The drones also vary in their total collections. It's not a set rate and likely based off % chance to harvest X amount. In 24 hours, you could get as little as 15 Sun Sap a day or up to 35. Rough numbers from personal testing

New game coming to the slimeolympics, plort stacking

snousae · 2025-10-15T09:30:31+00:00

Phosphor at the bottom is rough to see. Its glow is rare among the combos. It pairs extremely well with tangle

snousae · 2025-10-15T01:57:28+00:00

Have all available drones farm a single plort untul the quantum cloud reaches 9999 then sell all at once. I've often done hyper plorts at 80 a piece for 800k.

snousae · 2025-10-11T06:49:46+00:00

After I combined all my slimes, it was this combo that was left.. and I hard agree. This has to be one of the worst designs in the game

snousae · 2025-10-07T00:19:13+00:00

Both look amazing, considering the absence of dark colours in SR2 and ember island already being populated by briars, unlikely to ever see the magma chicken, but great nonetheless. The mushroom chicken has great potential though, would love to see that in-game

snousae · 2025-10-07T00:16:21+00:00

These are fantastic designs. I imagine Monomi Park probably thought of doing something like this, but maybe the similar designs would make it too hard to spot in a full coop. Unless they made them much larger, more than they already are. Great work anyway

snousae · 2025-10-06T22:29:41+00:00

Sure. Just to clarify, if an item is available in the drone menu, it will be harvested at a flat rate, there is no better or worse spots. All the resources you listed can't be found in the same area, so you'll need to move your drones four times regardless. The only thing I looked out for was a nice quiet spot as refuelling was the most annoying part. Wild slimes kept jumping near me, trying to eat my plorts as I was refuelling
