Gordos are basically huge slimes you can’t vac up, but if you feed them a lot of their food they’ll explode into slimes and supplies, with specific ones revealing teleporters for quick travel (or going to a specific area that’s not reachable otherwise) or slime keys that you can use to unlock these gates so you can go to the next area and grab the new slimes and food. In addition, there are Gordo slimes that you’ll occasionally find and maybe end up seeking them. If you come across any slimes you want to bring back to your ranch, you can easy suck them up with your vacpack. The most common ones you’ll see are Pink Slimes, which basically like everything and can survive anywhere, but there are others like Phosphor Slimes that can only survive in the dark, Puddle Slimes that are shy little things that can only survive in water (and they’re pretty rare to come across), and Rad Slimes which emit a radioactive aura. These slimes do have a tendency to appear everywhere, but there are many others that only appear in specific areas or conditions. You really just start with what’s right outside where you’ll be able to get the first few slimes to help you get used to ranching. There are various locations that make up Far, Far, Range’s wilderness, but you can’t go exploring to all of them right away. Not to mention, how are you going to feed the little guy? Well, just outside your ranch is a whole wilderness area that you can explore. While you do get a short tutorial to make sure you know all the controls, you will only start with one slime and that’s not going to be enough.

It’s more there for those that want some backstory on Beatrix and the ranch you now own.īefore you get ranching though, it’s time to venture out from your ranch. There is a definite end where you’ll get the credits by reading the last note you’ll find from Hobson, but you don’t really have to pay attention to it if it doesn’t interest you since you’ll get the same enjoyment either way. You can ignore the letters you get and Hobson’s notes easily. Though, if you’re not that interested in the story you can just skip all of it.

The previous owner, Hobson, even left notes everywhere for you to read so you can get some history on the locations they’re set at and some looks into even Hobson himself. Soon enough, we learn that there are other ranchers on Far, Far, Range that are doing their own thing, only someone from Beatrix’s past named Casey is still making an effort to contact her by occasionally sends her Starmail, and the ranch you now own was previously owned by another. You decided to become a slime rancher and while we don’t really know much of Beatrix’s past, we do know that she left everything and everyone she knew to pursue her dream. Slime Rancher puts you in the shoes of Beatrix LeBeau who just arrived at an unknown planet called Far, Far, Range that is light-years away from Earth. And luckily, I got a copy of Slime Rancher for my birthday! Well, let’s see how this is, shall we? I forgot about this game for a while and the next time I remembered and checked it out, Slime Rancher was out of early access now with it’s own story and player character. I always wanted to play Slime Rancher, as this is totally a game I would dig. At this point, I don’t remember who I was watching, but I know it was when the Puddle Slimes had their old design still and the Youtuber stopped sometime a but after they got the design they have now. I actually came to know about Slime Rancher when it was in early access years ago.
