Hello! Iβve divvied up my main blog into separate blogs π I might come back to this post another time and attempt to make it cleaner and nicer to look at, but in the meantime, hereβs the breakdown.
Pronouns: She/Her/They/Them/Teku (I honestly donβt care - See βStorytimeβ if youβre curious. Only putting this here for Asks purposes.)
Storytime: This is probably going be eye-rolling to most, but I used to play WoW when I was younger (...than now... Iβm not giving away my age -glares-).Β During those times, there wasΒ βno such thingβ asΒ βgirl gamersβ. Girl gamers were what males called βG.I.R.L.βs =Β βguy in real lifeβ. So, Iβd often be referred to as a male in anything Iβd do within my groups or circles of friends (even pugs). It was only when Ventrillo became a thing and we started doing things over voice thatΒ βHoly crap! Teku is a female?!β
This wasnβt just with WoW. It happened in Overwatch also, and Ragnarok Online 2. Doesnβt stop there, even now playing in FFXIV, because I am playing both Male and Female characters (which is honestly my own fault haha). Until someone hears my actual voice. I guess the way I type seems to lean more on the masculine side for whatever reason. I try to pepper in a million emojis to offset this but, I donβt think it works too well π.Β I also add them in to sound more friendly and less super-serious π€·π»ββοΈ. At this point Iβm used to it, and I donβt care how Iβm referred. Iβm indifferent to gender. To me, itβs personality that defines you.
(Dividers are mine. I created them. Please do not steal them. Thank you π€π»)
Main Blog (TekuTiger)
This Blog: FFXIV & General Favorites (Re-blogs / Quotes / Misc Anime /Β Astronomy / Astrology /Β Etc)
Side Blogs π½ (below)
βΎ Art, Jade Rimehardt: jaderimehardt.tumblr.com/
I put all of my resin projects here, original art, fanart, doodles, emojis in creation or created (be them shared or just shown), and whatever else in-between on this blog. I almost always get rambly in the process, be prepared for that π
βΎ Fanficion & Writing, Eclipse:Β cpelise.tumblr.com
Another blog forΒ βwhen I want to add to itβ. I have a whole self-insert Naruto-verse & Bleach-verse world living in my head and I had motivation, βonce upon a timeβ, to get it all out somewhere. Not just that, but as a FFXIV player, I desperately want to see some crossover things and I can literally find none π€·π»ββοΈ
βΎ Sims 4 Diary Blog, Mari Aurore:Β https://mariaurore.tumblr.com/
When Iβm not in FFXIV, or working with Resin/Art, this is typically where I can be found. I treat this side-blog as if Iβm writing Diary Entries, or recanting events. I also post when I upload builds. Just, DNI if you get triggered by OC x Canon coupling.
If anyone is wondering βthe whyβ of why I divided things, I put individual posts on each blog ~saying why~. ButΒ anotherΒ short of it is; I didnβt want to clutter peopleβs timelines with ππ» so much varying content without knowing why they followed me to begin with π
I wanted to show all of you how silly my Ringtail Slimes are in my Ringtail Den but I can't seem to get my Audio to work with recording, so please forgive the muted audio.
The vid has been uploaded to Youtube because it's nearly 4 minutes long. I was trying to keep it shorter but they're just too amusing and cute ππ€π«Άπ»
I had level 3 Wind with Cyclones in Rainbow Fields earlier and was running around hoping I'd find a radiant dervish...
But when the weather died down and I returned to my ranch, what I found was a random Cotton Dervish greeting my Pink Flutters ‡οΈ
At first I thought I'd bring the Cotton Dervish back to the rest of the slimes outside my ranch, into the Rainbow Fields but the thought occurred to me- "What if I try letting it roam around my ranch? See how that goes..."
Thing is, I have an incinerator in my main area and I read a lot of sad stories on Reddit where people lose their slimes (both radiant and normal) to them jumping into the incinerators. They don't come back, even with the Lost & Found afaik.
So, the same way I've been netting off my Ringtail Den, I netted off my incinerator. And I thought I'd show this so other people who are in a similar boat can try the same.
One Large net on each side, and then I added a tree on one of the sides so that I can jump on top of it, with a cave pillar to help jump up top of the tree (just to make it a little easier).
This way I can shoot down into the incinerator like this ‡οΈ
Without having to hover using my jetpack.
I'm glad I did this because I logged out to do some things, and the moment I logged back in I saw this ‡οΈ
I vac'd my cute lil Cotton Dervish off immediately, and it hopped right back up onto the net! β οΈπ Ofc I got them off the net again, but these nets are the best deterrents/solutions for things like this, imo.
Might be able to surround the incinerator with other things instead of a net, like trellises for example or a wall of trees closely lined together. But this is a dervish, they can cyclone/hurricane through many things and nets "catch" items, chickens and slimes when they get close.
I don't know if this would be effective with Hyper slimes though. My Hyper Ringtail sometimes gets halfway through these nets, though he still gets stuck on it. And then it takes some doing to get him un-stuck. It's hard to explain. Sometimes I wonder if my game is just borked (and no I don't use mods- I'll never use mods).
But for now my Cotton Dervish seems to be safe, fed and happy ‡οΈ
Radiant Sanctuary related / Radiant Slime hunting tip under the cut (to avoid spoilers if you don't want to read it) ‡οΈ
A lot of people are making speed-run videos, tutorials, guides, routes, you name it, on Reddit and Youtube. But there's this area up in the Terrarium that's being a bit overlooked imo. It's not a bell room or a nullifier room, which is probably why.
It's on the top area here β€΅οΈ (where my Beatrix Icon is, and where you solve one of the puzzles)
Looks like this when you're up there ‡οΈ
If you walk all along the rim of that top section there's about 4-6 spawn areas for slimes and sometimes you need to circle it twice. They'll just keep popping out. Even just a couple seconds can stagger them popping out of spots.
I've gotten a few radiants from those areas specifically, up top and down below (likely they spawned up top and I found them fallen on the ground below). But I've seen a few spawn spots in the dome below that as well, so it's hard to say, but imo it's worth checking that general location if you're radiant hunting or just casually running through like I'm doing. You do kind of have to walk directly over the spawn spots to trigger them though- you can't just be in the general vicinity.
[All my teleporters are in use the way I want and I'm not interested in setting them up to do the "speed-run nullifier rooms 10,000x times on loop" like many other people are doing π]
Edit: Adding this in but I found a yolky up top there this morning! Meaning it's possible to find a radiant one there if you're lucky.
Here's a better zoomed out area of that top area ‡οΈ
There's a massive spot like that in the Water area too that I just learned of but I haven't found any radiants yet because I rarely go there (and I'm just now making an effort to do so).
It's around this area here, where my Waypoint is ‡οΈ
Slimes tend to pop out around all the angler statues and other surrounding areas, but keep an eye out because there's a lot of water they can easily fall into, so you have to catch them before they fall into it (like in that room with the tower structure and the room with the bridge).
It's been making me wonder if there's other areas I've been missing, and I've been trying to keep an eye out. I just haven't found any additional new locations yet π
And it's interesting, some of those speed-run vids will show people finding radiants in locations I have not found a single one in, yet I've found radiants in locations they haven't found any in. Gotta love RNG π« .
Edit x2: Here's a follow-up on the waterworks area. I know it's a couple days later and I don't want to make a new post because it's on the same topic but I went to that area today (5/8/26) and found 2 Radiants at the same time! I've only had this happen one other time (finding two at once) ‡οΈ
This was actually in a nullifier room in that area. I vac'd the Tangle up and then took the screenie, and then noticed there was a Hunter there also.
That area I'm referring to above looks like this though and has a lot of spawn locations ‡οΈ
And if you go a little further down you reach this location which has many spawn spots as well ‡οΈ
There's another nullifier room at the end of this hallway too.
This is my Ranch Layout that allows me to have a closed off Ringtail Den (the cave expansion).
I used this link here: https://sr2interactivemap.com/, to make this map plan. But I had to go into Photoshop to add Hyper Slime and Turbo Tater in because their map isn't updated yet.
From an in-game perspective, to see my portals, warp depots and such, it looks like this (just on my ranch) ‡οΈ
So, I have the Ringtail Den expansion and a whole expansion dedicated to Silo-storage (the archaeology dig). There is room for all of the slimes, they're just Largos to make this happen.
The Cherriberris, or Pogofruits if you're early game, are enough to feed all of the slimes in the main area AND have a lot extra for the incinerator as well as take to slimes while exploring or to stash away into silos. Or, to change out one garden for something different that produces slightly less fruit like Mint Mango or something.
This is just how I did things. No one says you have to do things my way! Just thought I'd share.
Last night (in the very late hours) I found Hunter Ringtail Slime! \o/
Just like Hyper, he also doesn't like sitting in that Sofa. Won't even last half a second π π
He was amongst this Ringtail crowd in Starlight Strand ‡οΈ
π (This is usually where I find the most Ringtails and I almost always bring them a ton of extra food from my ranch.)
I brought him back home with me π«Άπ»
This is Angler welcoming him to the family by stunning him ππ΅βπ« (like he does to the rest of his siblings, constantly) ‡οΈ
Can you spot him in some of these? He's really good at Hide & Seek ‡οΈ
I was trying to run around getting more screenies but there's WAY too many of them now. They're constantly trying to glomp me π ππ€π. Bunch of cuties.
I'll post my Ranch Layout in a separate post for anyone who is curious how I was able to fit this Ringtail Den in, along with all the other things (slimes + gardens + silos + etc).
Ringtails are already super hyper and bouncy little slimes compared to other slimes, but oh my goodness this Ringtail is a firecracker.
I tried to sit him in the sofa for a screenie...
For context, they usually can't get out of those unless you manually vac them off. Or another slime pushes them off, lol.
Not him. He bounced off within half a second and flew away like a rocket. I was like okay...
After chasing him around the Den for a while to get the first screenie in this post (and finally succeeding because man, he doesn't sit still at all) he dozed off. Must have tired himself out (as most Ringtails do) π ππ
He is SO cute. If I ever have to make another save file (incase mine gets corrupted or something wonky happens), I definitely want to aim for this Largo combo again π«Άπ»
Next up; Sanctuary zone and Radiant slime below the cut β€΅οΈ but not Sanctuary spoilers, per se? So I'll leave you, the reader, to decide if you want to look or not.
I mixed a radiant Tabby Slime with a Sloomber Plort to get a Tabby Sloomber Largo and noticed they did a thing when they ate their food sometimes. It's rather rare and I haven't heard anyone mention it, or bring it up, but maybe that's because I don't watch many, rarely any, streamers (on Youtube or Twitch) play this game or make this Largo combo.
They make a big yawn! It's adorable~! π
And then they go back to looking eepy and then sleep or sometimes going about their business.
But I've only seen my Tabby Sloomber do it about 3 times now and I've been trying to get screenies of it. It just happens so quickly that I miss it every time.
I made a Ringtail Den on my Ranch and mentioned I was going to try and get myself a Twin Ringtail and maybe a Sloomber Ringtail but as I was adventuring around, this cutie started following me everywhere ‡οΈ
And tuckered themselves out in doing so π
I like to think the slimes choose you, not you choose the slimes. (I know it's a game but let me be immersed, okay?)
Ofc I brought the cutie back home π₯°π«Άπ»
Later on I found two cutie ringtails from statues that were refusing to leave my side the moment the stone-curse lifted (and after I fed them) ππ I was like okay okay. I guess I'm taking these two with me too π.
Turned those two cuties into a Twin and a Tangle ‡οΈ
And then later~ lol π (I find a lot of ringtails, can you tell?)
I found another adorable Ringtail that kept nudging me and would play hide n seek with me in the starlight strand. He'd run up to me, nudge me, bounce behind a bush, peek out from behind, look at me, and then bounce over to me and repeat the process π€£ Those are moments where I wish I was recording or could hit record, because I wish I could re-watch it and I bet people are going to be like what? No way. It was too cute.
Absolutely brought him home and now he's a happy cute Sloomber baby ‡οΈ
Shortly after getting Sloomber Ringtail and running around the labyrinth, I found ‡οΈ
Pink Ringtail!
Such a cutie π they were doing the "follow the leader" or "heat seeker" game most the above ringtails were doing and was in an area I've seen Ringtails poof a lot so no way was I leaving them there. Sometimes I'll just move them to other areas I know they survive longer because I can't adopt them all π΅βπ« (this is something you kind of get to know the more accustomed you get to the game)
I think this puts me at 10 Ringtails in my Den? Surprisingly, there's still no food shortage so I'm wondering if I can aim for all, or nearly all of the largo combos at this point π€π
Basically, either they fixed Ringtails not turning to stone in the "Dark Room Theme" or my game was bugging out on me before, but it's working now so I wanted to give my Ringtails a room with it. Thing with the Dark Room theme is, it only works on rooms without plots. So, half of the rooms. I've already spent a lot of time setting things up how I want it; themes + gardens + which slimes go where π« ππ
Anyways... there's a new method to my madness now and it all functions again. And my Ringtails have their Dark Room.
First room on the Right with a Coop, Heart Beet Garden, Pomegranite Garden. I figured my Rock, Crystal and Batty slimes can go here + whoever else fits ‡οΈ
First room on the Left with a Cherriberri Garden, Water Lettuce Garden, and a Turbo Tater Garden. Designated my "Twin Room" or "Rainbow Room" because I want all my Twin slimes to go here with most my Cotton slimes and Hyper slimes and because of the Rainbow Alcove theme ‡οΈ
Second room on the Right with a Cuberry Garden, my Phosphors in a Corral with Solar Shield, an Empty Garden remaining for whatever I want and Designated the Snow Room because of the Snow Theme ‡οΈ
For this room, I'd like to leave open for snowball fights still and still let slimes free-range, hence the open garden. I'm thinking add my sabers in here with some cottons, hunters and tabbys. Add in some loose chickens for them to eat and maybe a veggie garden.
Second room on the Left is my Dark Room for my Ringtails ‡οΈ
Just make sure to add the Spooky Alcove if you do this for your Ringtails ‡οΈ
I tried adding that UFO one and found my Ringtail turned to stone inside there. I thought I took a screenie but I can't find it π but I preferred that one over this because of the starry sky. Kind of lame that this is the only "solar shielded" aka "dark" option we have. Not a fan personally.
Third room on the Right is my designated Sloomber room ‡οΈ
As I was taking screenies in the Dark room it started raining heavily and you can see it here, lol. It progressed a bit to the next room but I circled back around and it started to clear. It affected the holographic effects on my slimes too, so they looks a little odd and that's why I took more screenshots in these rooms than in others.
Third room on the Left is my designated Tangle room + Other Meat-Diet slimes ‡οΈ
The Ringtail room (any), Snow room (Stony), Sloomber room (Candied), and Tangle room (Painted) all get a ton of chickens for their food. That's what my single coop on the sanctuary does. Surprisingly yes, that one single coop upkeeps all the rooms π As long as you visit often enough. If you're an infrequent visitor, it might not.
I also don't overload the Ringtail room with chickens like I do with the other rooms because they'll endlessly chomp everything. 20ish chickens at a time is good ππ»
Here's some extra sanctuary screenies!
Oh! I don't think I mentioned this yet but you can fence off your Alcoves with those stone fencing decorations to prevent your chickens from over-running your puddle slimes and fire slimes out of the water or magma (which makes them poof). Looks something like this ‡οΈ
Or look at my above screenies of my rooms to see other angles. It takes some fine adjusting and patience to get them down right but it's 2x of the curved ones, and 1x of the straight one and you're good to go ππ». I do occasionally find my slimes in there though, just hanging out with my puddle and fire slimes π and I have to vac them up and go get them food because they're hungry/starving. There's basically bench/seating locations in those alcoves- so make mental note of that. Other alcoves are similar, like the sleepy one with the moon and the musical one.
Radiant Sanctuary related post under the cut ‡οΈ
It's interesting how you can have the same largo combination, in my case Pink Twin Largos, but they have a different hues because the base slime was different. Ex. one started off as a Pink Slime, and one started off as a Twin Slime ‡οΈ
My Pink Twin Largo that started off as a Pink Slime, has a brighter more vibrant and obvious Pink Hue with some lavender hue time to time.
My Pink Twin Largo that started off as a Twin Slime, has an obvious black & white undertone with pinkish-purplish mixed in.
I really like this tbh. It means even if we have the same types of largos, if they have different base identities they'll look slightly unique and we can tell them apart from each other ππ«Άπ».
I've been slowly giving them names but I'm really bad with names, lol π
[I removed all the grass in most of the rooms and added many flowers instead. I had around 60-70 grass decorations PER ROOM and it was lagging my game out. Now I have like 20ish flowers per room and I have zero lag. I play on "Borderless Windowed" and I probably could have continued playing with all that grass on "Fullscreen" but I'm a 2-monitor person and tab out too often.]
Radiant Sanctuary Question & Update kinda? ‡οΈ
Edit: I just saw someone put their Ringtail in the Sanctuary room with the Cave theme and it didn't turn to stone. Did the devs fix it??? Do Phosphors still poof or did they fix that too? Because I SWEAR I tried putting my Ringtails in a room with the cave theme applied within the first few days of the update and they turned to stone π
Edit x2: So, Ringtails CAN go into the rooms with the Cave theme applied now (even during daytime hours) without turning to stone. I haven't tested Phosphors because I'm too paranoid my game will derp and the Lost & Found thing won't work if they vanish on me. I'm the Murphy's Law type of luck person π
[I tested in my room with the snow theme/decorations in it.]
Debating if I want to re-do basically half to nearly all of my rooms because it seems like only 2 or 3 rooms allow for the cave theme to be applied and I want my rooms to be set up a very specific way. I don't know why the game is like this π
I made my Ringtail slime babies a free ranged area! Finally! I've been wanting to do this for a while but I've been too scaredy-cat to do it because I'm worried they'll get out somehow or jump over a cliff or any number of things and I'll lose them. But the easiest place to free-range them at is either the Lab area (which I was doing) or the Cave (aka "The Den").
In the lab, I was using the "Dream Lantern" at the stairs/entrance and then the "Dream Lantern II" when I progressed far enough to craft it. I then paired that along with benches further down to prevent them from climbing up the stairs. The benches/sofas kind of act as a red stop sign because they sit/get stuck on them until they either make a big bounce off it, or you manually vac them off. Just make sure you're checking your slimes regularly if you add these because I'm pretty sure if you don't, they could starve in those chairs and eventually poof.
I also added more benches or sofas + nets or trellises at the other exits. Later on I realized adding those "Striped Beach Blankets" down helped keep them from bouncing around (and out the tunnels) so much, so I placed 1 blanket per slime down, lol. The "Small Flower Pillow" and "Large Flower Pillow" should act similarly. Your slimes should have no problem bouncing/jumping off of those themselves.
When it came to decorating the den, I did things almost the same.
I'm using mostly Large Nets with some sofas in some places but you can try to keep your slimes away from the nets with "Easy Breezy Fans". I still see them bounce onto the nets though π . They just don't slide or shimmy over to them because of the air/wind from the fans.
Here's a whole bunch of angles~ ‡οΈ
This is how they get stuck on the net ‡οΈ
My Angler got on TOP of one of the nets at some point and I didn't think to screenshot that, but I should have. So, it's good to know they can't get behind them if they're placed properly.
With that being said, I have a portal going into the cave. All exntrances/exits are completely closed off.
And here's a cute screenie as I was logging off ‡οΈ
I love my Ringtail babies π€ππ«Άπ»
Think I'm going to try and get a Twin Ringtail and maybe a Sloomber Ringtail and stop there because this cave probably can't handle that many Ringtails π (well, it might, but 8 is a big number for slimes that endlessly consume, lol)
Edit: Here's a screenie of them getting stuck on the net again and going on TOP of the net ‡οΈ
This is why you check on them often *nodnod*.
But again, I reiterate, they can't get behind the net if placed properly so that's good. I check them daily (once at least) but they get hungry so quickly π« π. I know Batty Slimes get hungry twice as quickly under solar shields and in caves than if they were under sunlight, but I wonder if it's the same for Ringtails? Or they just get hungrier quicker than other slimes? π (I know they eat endlessly without generating plorts, no need to remind me)
Wow... so crazy things really do happen in this game, huh?
This is inside the grey labyrinth so under the cut, incase you don't want spoilers ‡οΈ
For some added context, this is that end room area at the end of the Sloomber area and I add like 80-100 chickens there with some breezy fans for shadow plort farming. I go there when I need shadow plorts to re-charge my drones. It's incredibly simple yet very efficient.
This is going to be a Radiant Sanctuary related post so I'll put everything under the cut if you want to avoid that content/spoilers ‡οΈ
I'm going to post an update on my marked maps, but before that, I decorated the little area around the portal (that I manually placed) to the island ‡οΈ
It's simple, but cute I think π
My Ringtails are adorable. They're in the corral right behind this spot and as I was decorating they're making every slime sound in the book. "Pi!" "Wah-ow!" "Hahaha!" "Woo!" "Woohoo!" "Haha" π
I haven't gotten the chance to decorate my ranch on this save file yet. The update came out literally when I reached the grey labyrinth and I was sitting on 5k, but was kind of having a rough time keeping that 5k, lol. I also had next to no decorations so it's been a climb π
Here's my updated maps with where I've found my radiant slimes so far β€΅οΈ (it's the slime flags)
Like in my last post, I do not have the robots marked here. Some locations have two flags because I've found two slimes there. There seems to be truth to people saying they spawn more commonly in the nullifier/bell rooms.
I've also tried adding some decorations into a majority of those rooms (about 6-8 pieces each) in addition to what was already in them (so some have as many as 10-15) and tbh I'm not sure if the theory that decor adds to the spawn rate is true or not? π€·π»ββοΈ It's hard to say.
Here's how I have my sanctuary rooms decorated currently β€΅οΈ (one screenie per room)
I should probably fix up the room with the coop at some point. It was my first room and it looks WAY different from all the others. You can kind of tell π
My slimes aren't in their perma-places, I just have them where they're easy to keep track of currently and aren't "alone" because I feel like that's sad and mean. I want my babies to be happy slimes with friends π€ But I'll likely be moving my twin slimes out of the room with the coop in it or demolishing the coop because they use their portal ability to teleport the chickens OUTSIDE of the coop and then the chickens start roaming around everywhere π I watched them do it while taking these screenies and I sat there like "...you cute cunning devious little slimes..."
But yes most of my rooms are the mossy theme. I tried out the honey theme and it acts similar to lava, for some odd reason? I tried placing my honey slimes and tangle slimes in there, and it literally BURNT my tangle's little vines when they tried to eat chickens. Sorry but not sorry devs, do not like that. They made the little "ow" noises. I thought the theme was cute so I tried giving it a shot ππ
I also considered the lava one but I didn't want to spend so much time decorating it just to end up with the same issue as the honey theme π« π. And I wanted to use the cave theme, but I wanted to use it in the front rooms, yet you cant??? I have no clue why? Plus it doesn't shield from the sun for my Ringtails and Phosphors π Also, why isn't there alcoves for ALL the rooms? That slightly saddens me but it is what it is.
I'm just happy for this DLC, tbh. It's so very cute, and there's potential for them to add on to it. My one other pet peeve is that the decorations have such a wide hit-box, but it's not really a hit-box, so whatever term it is. So placing things down is like 500 pixels apart from another item. It's nearly impossible to cluster things together and make it "natural" looking. But again, it is what it is and I love the decorating in this game regardless.
Edit: I just discovered a thing.
Earlier today I removed the blue portal located on the first platform when you enter the sanctuary so it'd be added to my blueprints and because it technically does nothing being there. I tried placing my own two-way portal there but it doesn't allow placement so I was like okay whatever π€·π»ββοΈ this area must be used for something if it doesn't allow anything, and thought nothing of it since.
When I came back to the sanctuary earlier, a Pennant was there and I was like π€??? Okay... maybe this is a freebie item? Or they're saying this area is "flagged" as important for something- because a pennant is a flag.
I went into build mode and picked it up.
Later while I was tending to my slimes in the sanctuary, I heard the sound for an item being placed in build mode, but I wasn't in build mode. So I went and checked on that spot. Sure enough... ‡οΈ
There was a new decoration item there and I was able to pick it up.
The time I heard the sound was around 21:15ish ingame. So I'm guessing this spot and ingame time is when we get a free decor item?
Seems pretty cool if you ask me. The devs really are allowing us to go all out with decorating and they're helping us out if we're struggling. Wish I knew of this sooner, lol, but sometimes we just have to try stuff.
Edit x2: Here's some more freebie decorations the sanctuary has given me so far ‡οΈ
My theory about the 21:15 time was incorrect, it just seems to be totally random and at first it was every day and rarely two days for a new item to appear there. Now sometimes I'll get spans up to three days. Still no idea what triggers it. Maybe gaining intervals of sprinkles, finding a new radiant slime, I have no idea π€·π»ββοΈ but it feels like whenever I'm doing something within the sanctuary (usually depositing sprinkles), I hear the decor placement sound. And sometimes a new piece of decor will be there when I arrive on the island.
And here's some bonus screenshots. Just my slimes being cute π€π
The people on reddit come up with some brilliant ideas sometimes π‘
Like this one ‡οΈ
Link here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Slimerancher2/comments/1sqhflh/peak_efficiency/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
It may not look the greatest but I have a drone set up to collect all the sprinkles and the poor lil dude could not keep up and I'd try to help but it just takes so long π« I was starting to think I'd have to place 2 or 3 more drones to collect sprinkles... such a waste of drones! And sometimes I'd literally watch the drone derp out and just drop my sprinkles mid-way carrying them to the market link. I have no idea why π€·π»ββοΈ
Think I'm going to re-decorate one of my sanctuary rooms tomorrow. I made it grey labyrinth theme with a bunch of music pillars and tiles but it's intended for meat-diet slimes so it has around 300 chickens roaming around and they're driving me crazy ramming against all the things making constant sounds π« (and causing lag). It's cute when the slimes do it, not so much when the chickens do it π.
Here's some randomness β€΅οΈ Under the cut
Twin slime I found in the grey labyrinth using its portal abilities for food but ended up going through the portal itself so it was just endlessly falling lol. That was amusing to watch π (I think one of the portals belonged to the Tabby Twin?)
Flower tree I placed for my Yolkys someday but my Tabby loves it. So... cat tree?
Grey Labyrinth themed room that I'll be re-doing. You cant really see all the music tiles from these angles but there's a whole floor of them near the other alcove where I have the musical alcove theme.
This theme ‡οΈ
Think I'll try and stick to a grey labyrinth theme, just try and add more foliage to it somehow, half & half it, blend it, something. Have to play with it to figure that one out π€·π»ββοΈ I just know I'm getting rid of the majority of the music pillars, some might stay though.
And here's my snow room for snowball fights ‡οΈ
It has around 300 chickens in it now too π π but it's ready for slimes any time.
I didn't think to get screenies of my other rooms so that's all I'm posting for now π
All I wanted was a ringtail baby because they're my favorite but I didn't get one as my freebies from the robots... however while exploring today~
π€π Lookit my baby!
And then~!
ππ Another!
Now they aren't alone in their little corral because unfortunately they turn to stone in those rooms without the solar shield. And from what I read on reddit, adding themes doesn't change that.
I've been trying to free range my radiant slimes in the new area, so if & when I get phosphors they'll need a solar shielded corral also and be neighboring my ringtail babies, lol.
I'm currently placing down those flag decorations/utilities with the slimes on them to mark where I find my radiant slimes- I might post my maps here in the future with all the marks. Maybe someone can cross reference it or something and see if it lines up with theirs or other's discoveries to see if it's totally RNG or location based? I've been to a couple locations people said they found theirs and found some, but also didn't find any so I'm not sure what to think at this point.
I was also tossing around the idea that finding a certain number of them was on an irl cooldown or timer, because before I went to bed last night (2am PST, lol), people were saying they only found 3-5. But when I woke up this morning (10am PST) and read reddit, some more people came forward and mentioned they found as many as 10, so now I'm not sure π€·π»ββοΈ
All I can do for now is theorize, brain storm and keep searching π. I mean, there's a lot of capsules I was super lazy about and never got because this is my second save file so this is giving me a chance to go back and get them while also getting more resources, lol.
Edit: I'm actually going to add this in. It's 3 screenies of my maps (Ember Valley, Starlight Strand, and Powderfall Bluffs) so far with the marks of locations I've found my radiant slimes. Surprisingly I've only found them on these maps.
I'm not including the 3 freebie radiant slimes you get from the robots in these.
Another update: someone on reddit found info stating that they're a spawn rate of 1/400. I don't know how true that is but ππ« . At least there's guaranteed spawns π
Update to the update: I guess the 1/400 thing has been debunked, lol. Here's a reddit link β€΅οΈ https://www.reddit.com/r/Slimerancher2/comments/1spsyae/radiant_slime_spawn_rates/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
I have a couple of laboratory companions in SR2 π€
and today this silly baby decided he wanted to get stuck π
I don't suggest doing this unless you have tarrs disabled, or you have the same type of slimes down there, or just one slime (but even that could be a catastrophe waiting to happen if you drop a plort by accident). I also make sure to check on them at least 1-2 times a day because they're ringtails and one is mixed with dervish.
Have to make sure they have food- in my case I leave a bunch lying around so they can nom it while I'm away, and check that they haven't tornado'd or bounced out one of the tunnels somehow. It's a new save file so I don't have many decorative items currently to barricade anything off (nearly none frankly, lol).
I've noticed some areas down in the lab are wonky and if an item is launched under a cabinet or behind the lab equipment, in some cases you can't get it back so uh... be weary of that if you do this π«
