I lack the self-control to not eat all the homemade ricotta my sister makes with a spoon. I'm only slightly better with the yogurt cheese she makes, which definitely does not last as long when she makes homemade bagels.

Have we seen any of Elliot's heart events? I seriously cannot remember a single one.

I like that you can set down some trees in the greenhouse to get them going. Those take a while to grow, don't they?

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

Trees take a whole month to grow, yeah. Putting them in the greenhouse lets them produce fruit all year though, unlike just planting them outside where they only produce fruit in one season.

It's implied that the person just hanging out by themselves at Leah's 8 heart event is the ex she was arguing with on the phone in one of her other heart events.

figured it was worth noting but the drones update for slime rancher should be coming out soon. would have been nice if it was in earlier, but, presumably in the next couple days people will soon have little helper bees around to do stuff for them







they come with a wide variety of things you can program them to do!

i guess they're water-powered, and need to be splashed once a day more or less to keep functioning

ANGER HAS NEVER BEEN MORE MANLY THAN THIS
The video announcing their arrival did have drones wearing shades, so it's something to look into.

They're highly useful, in that they can take anything to anywhere. Food directly to your auto-feeders? No problem. Plorts to market? Can do! Round up some chickens? Easy.

Buuuut you can only have two in one ranch expansion at a time. Making them slightly less useful, as each one can only do one task at a time.

Still, I played with them for a few hours. It was fun, setting up automatic systems to take care of the feeding of the slimes.

there was definitely one wearing googly eyes in a gif i saw, and as also said one was wearing shades. so yeah you can use the deco pods on them.

The drones might just be the cutest things in the game. Monomi Park have outdone themselves, I didn't even know that was possible.

Now to re-arrange my entire ranch to maximise how automatable it is! Since drones can be given generic categories like "fruit" and "plorts", you can have a section with two fruit gardens, and two corrals for slimes that like those fruits, and have one drone to feed them all and one to sell all the plorts.

Except that each drone can only carry one type of plort to a destination.

Nope, there's a general Plorts category! Though they can only carry one type at a time.

So rather than assigning a specific food and slime pen you give them a logic of "carry [food] to [slimes]"?

Leal

Thats what had me worry, it sounded like you would need 1 droid per action (feeding, getting plorts) per pen.

Pretty much, but you need to assign a source as well. So "Take [fruit] from [gardens] to [auto-feeders]" or "take [chickens] from [on ground outside plots] to [incinerators]"

Protect children from "Safe Schools" social engineering. Shame!

So in Australia an 'ice-cream float' is called a Spider, so in case you were wondering what spiders taste like, they taste like that and they're loving great.

:blizz::gamefreak:
So long as you organize your slimes by "Fruit" or "Vegetable" you can have multiple gardens with different fruits feeding different pens. Because your Drones will only fill auto-feeders with the kind that's already inside them. But I really wish there was a "[GARDENS] to [FEEDERS]" option.

Isn't Abigail implied to be the Wizard's biological daughter? I saw a video that notes that not only does Pierre worry that Abigail is not biologically related to him but the Wizard will mention that he has reason to believe one of the townsfolk is his daughter.

Pierre's wife also mentions that she liked to take long walks by the wizard's tower, but Pierre got upset about it.
