This Slime Makes the Most Money… But It Shouldn’t

Slime Rancher 2 has a lot of slimes. Picking the wrong one at the start costs you time and money you won't get back.
I tested every early-game option to find out which one actually wins. The result surprised me. Which slime is best?

whats funny is that honey slime is the only slime in both games that doesn't have any special trait at all.
even pink slime has one, that being able to eat all types of food.

Small nitpick but id put crystals lower on the food accesibility scale because odd onions growability is at a dramatically lower rate than other crops (only a portion of the offspring crops are odd onions while the others are carrots!)

"fun" fact: there's an exploit with Hunter Slimes that if you constantly make a hunter largo go feral (for example, keep hitting it with a Fire Slime) you can make it constantly produce plorts

As someone who only played the first game I love puddle slimes because all I had to do is go get the ports every so often never needed to feed them or burn stuff literally just instantly automated and I used to keep some in the natural puddle in the unlockable dock area so I didn’t even need to buy a pond for them

Only played the first game. Filling the cave with Honey/Phosphor largos was my go-to moneymaker. Keep the slimes free-range and fill all the plots with cuberry trees. Not the highest value, but 4 plorts per berry with no danger.

i always went for honey-hunters, because hunters are actually expensive and mango is simple. also because i liked cats.

My anglers have escaped the most out of any slimes

@Taradiyo 3 months ago

All meat based slimes (and mostly hunters) should be lower than their same-rarity counterparts due to being harder to farm.

@Bafoldings 3 months ago

Phospher and pink slime being top is CRAZY, but anyways, the best largo would probably be something like saber cotton, since plorts arent that hard to get after you get a largo, you can easily make them just by finding 1 saber plort, cottons are also easy to get favs, a high income, the downsides are probably the risks, tho cant wait for the next one lol

8:59 Fun fact: Gilded Gingers were to appear in the Grey Labyrinth in the past, before it was even implemented, according to a language file.

This is an awesome video and way more of this kind are needed in the slime rancher community. I feel like almost no one posts about this game at all so finding info is much harder than in other games

I had dervish/crystal largos in one run, their area was a death trap that they LOVED escaping.

I KNEW IT! I literally have an incinerator with more than 100 fire slimes in it, to the point I have 2 dedicated gardens just to feed them, and that's still not enough so I bring leftovers from other parts of the ranch.

With tangles I like to place farms near their uh home I forgot the name, I also make sure they are away from other slimes or just have their own section of the ranch
