Slime Rancher 2 is a relaxing game that is meant to be played at your own pace. There’s no rush to meet time-sensitive goals, and you’ll get the most out of the experience by going with the flow and learning its nuances over time. However, Slime Rancher 2 does not offer a very robust guide — making some of its esoteric systems difficult to understand.
If you want to speed up your quest to become the best rancher on Rainbow Island, here are some tips for beginners Slime Rancher 2. They range from basic concepts that are easy to miss at first (such as building a farm) to learning how to navigate the tumultuous land market.

Go slowly

The moment you load Slime Rancher 2, you’ll have tons of Slimes, Plorts, and upgradeable gadgets at your disposal. And while it can be tempting to dip your toes into everything, it could be a costly mistake. Instead of going all out and catching every available Slime, try to focus your energy on collecting one or two types of Slime along with the food needed to feed them. It’s one thing to have a bunch of Slimes in your conservatory, but it’s quite another to be able to control them. In other words, quality is better than amount when you start your journey.
Check your messages

It’s easy to miss, but Slime Rancher 2 has a useful message system. When you exit your conservatory, you’ll notice a small kiosk just before you step outside. Here, your colleagues can communicate with you and send messages — many of which convey essential knowledge for your journey. Be sure to check it out whenever you see an exclamation point on this kiosk, because it means there’s something new for you to enjoy.
Build a farm
There’s nothing better than gathering hundreds of Slimes and greeting them each morning before you go on an adventure. But it takes hours of play to get to that point — and getting there requires developing Farms in your conservatory. You’ll still want to go out and collect fruits and vegetables, but creating a Farm at home gives you easy (and quick) access to food to feed your Slimes, which in turn leads to plots that can be used to earn Newbucks. Farms make it easier to keep your slimes happy, and happy slimes produce more money and are less likely to get restless and run away.
Keep an eye on the market

If you want to build a successful ranch, you will need a lot of Newbucks. This means that selling lots should always be on your mind. However, unlike most games, the price of Plorts changes daily based on what you sold the day before. This means that the lots you sell will slowly decrease in value, while the value of the lots that have not been sold will increase. Be sure to keep a close eye on the market, as it will tell you exactly how many Newbucks you will get for each Plort. These market values can be found on a huge board right behind your home.
A simple way to manage the market is to simply change the lots you invest each day. Focus on Pink Plorts one day, Tabby Plorts the next, and mix in any other Plorts available to avoid diluting the market. Also, don’t be afraid to hold Plorts until their value goes up over the next few days.
Plan your travels wisely
Early in Slime Rancher 2, you’ll find that you’ll spend most of your time venturing out into the wild to gather resources or capture Slimes. It’s in your best interest to take a few moments to plan what you hope to accomplish on these trips — otherwise you’ll quickly become overwhelmed with resources (and with limited inventory space, it can be difficult to figure out what to bring home). If you want to keep things simple, consider breaking your trips into a food drive for your captured Slimes, an expedition to catch new Slimes, or a trip to collect Plorts.
Feeds wild slimes

Feeding captured Slimes and collecting Plorts is what you’re all about, but at the beginning of the game, you might not have the equipment at home to properly place all those Slimes. This is why it’s important to remember that you can still make tons of money from wild slobs. Simply throw food at them and they will eat it and spawn Plorts just like trapped slimes do. This can be a great way to load up on Plorts and earn Newbucks without spending money to upgrade your conservatory.
Build and upgrade equipment

When it comes to upgrading your conservatory, it’s important to invest your money wisely. New players will find a big return on their investment when they set up a few farms and upgrade one or two pens (as opposed to building a ton of pens with a few upgrades). We’d especially recommend the High Walls upgrade for your fences to help keep Slimes at bay, along with Air Net when you can afford it.
Serve your favorite dish

Slimes produce additional Plorts when fed their favorite food. Information about Slimes and their preferred foods can be found on Slimepedia — so be sure to check it out as soon as you discover a new Slime. You can access your Slimepedia at any time by pressing Break button. Choose Slimepedia button, scroll to Mucus submenu and there you will find a list of all the Slimes you have discovered.
Largo Slimes are vital

When a Slime feeds on a Plort, it will turn into a Largo Slime. These are valuable, upgraded slimes that offer the features of their base slimes. This means it will eat food from both diets and drop Plorts from both Slimes. Use this to your advantage by pairing rare slimes with common slimes. For example, a standard Tabby Slime will only eat meat. However, if you feed it Pink Plort, it will take on a diet of Pink Slimes — allowing you to feed it fruit or vegetables (which are available in most locations). Once fed, Largo Slimes will produce Plort for both of their Slime types, essentially doubling your profits.
Phosphorous slimes are worth the effort

They only come out at night (and require a Solar Shield coral upgrade to keep in the conservatory), but hunting down the elusive Slimes and upgrading your gear is more than worth the effort. Their plots are arguably the best way for new players to make money, and grabbing a couple will go a long way towards building your home base.
Tarr Slimes can be defeated with water

Sucking up Tarr Slimes and throwing them away is one of your only defenses early on Slime Rancher 2. But you’ll eventually unlock a variety of water-based contraptions — and since Tarr Slimes are sensitive to water, consider getting one of these weapons ASAP. Also, note that Tarr Slimes spawn when a Largo Slime eats the third Plort. It can be difficult to prevent this from happening, but you can reduce the likelihood by vacuuming any Plorts sitting around your pens.
Research as much as possible
Research is a big part Slime Rancher 2, so be sure to take time out of your busy day and step outside of your conservatory. Things change depending on the time of day, which is why it’s important to revisit locations when the sun goes down.
