AStardew Valleyplayer recently realized that farming Slimes isn’t for the faint of heart. InStardew,players can keep a number of different animalson their farms once they’ve built the proper infrastructure: cows, chickens, goats, sheep, and even dinosaurs. But with the right kind of building - specifically, a Slime Hutch - they can even raise their very own monsters. Once they hatch and mature, Slimes in a sufficiently full Hutch will produceSlime Balls; they can also be slaughtered to obtain materials ranging from wood toIridium Ore.
But, as one player learned the hard way, raising Slimes isn’t always easy. Reddit userGoldenHelikaonrecently shared an in-game screenshot oftheir Slimes wandering far and wide throughout the map, with most of them gathering in the river. Of course, this makes it a lot harder to harvest anything from them. Plus, they could pose a great danger from the water, striking from somewhere the player can’t go, then rushing back into the river for total immunity. Although the original poster swears they put down a fence to prevent the Slimes from escaping, there’s one major problem with that strategy.
Stardew Valley Slimes Cannot Be Contained By A Simple Fence
There’s Only One Way To Keep Slimes In Place
In the second screenshot they posted, GoldenHelikaon explains that they put a fence around theirSlime Incubatorto keep their Slimes in a small, contained pen. However, as many other players pointed out in the comments,fences don’t actually stop Slimes inStardew Valley. Whether they squeeze themselves through or simply jump over them is up for interpretation, but one way or another, they find a way around.
You Can Catch Stardew Valley’s Most Infamous Couple In The Act With This Secret Note
Stardew Valley players can discover a secret tryst in the middle of the night by unlocking a secret note and solving its hints inside of Pelican Town.
If you place aSlime Incubatorliterally anywhere outside,the Slimes that hatch from it will wander literally everywhereon the same screen. If you put one on your farm, you’ll find them wandering through your fields; if you put one in town, they’ll hop through the streets. You may even catch them wishing you a good morning, or getting upset when you search through a trash can, likeany otherStardew Valleyvillager. It just so happened that GoldenHelikaon’s Incubators were close to the river, so all their escaped Slimes decided to go for a swim.
In fact,there’s only one way to keep all your Slimes in one place, and that’s to put them inside. Whether it’s in a Slime Hutch or in your farm house (which would certainly be a choice), Slimes can’t open doors, so the only way you can prevent them from escaping is to ensure they stay indoors. Don’t worry, they prefer the dark anyway.
Our Take: Slime Farms Can Be Extremely Lucrative
But You Have To Learn To Run Them Right
Farming Slimes can be a lot of trouble inStardew Valley, butthey can also be quite profitable. There are effectively two ways to profit from a Slime farm, and the first is to raise as many Purple Slimes as possible. These are the only Slimes that dropIridium Ore, one of the rarest and most valuableupgrade materials inStardew Valley. The best way to do so is to game the odds, combining the right types of Slimes to breed purple ones.
“I’m Seriously Considering Moving Out”: Stardew Valley Player Haunted By Cursed Mannequin Desperately Asks Community For Help
One Stardew Valley player was given a serious fright, as a haunted mannequin terrorized their home and allegedly stole their clothes.
Otherwise (and this is a much more reliable method),you can sell some of yourSlime Eggsfor a pretty tidy profit. Even the least expensive color of Slime Egg, green, sells for 1,000g - the most expensive, the Tiger Slime Egg, is worth 8,000g. You can harvest slime organically, and put it into aSlime Egg-Presswhenever you hit 100 for an easy bit of passive income. Just make sure you don’t let your Slimes roam free inStardew Valley.
