Hey ranchers! We’re putting the finishing touches on drones this week and we’re happy to announce that drones are coming to Slime Rancher NEXT WEEK! Drones are a much-anticipated feature, so we have been performing extensive tests to make sure that these little helper bots are as helpful as they can be. I can confirm that drones will happily carry out their tasks, even when under the most extreme circumstances. Not even a barrage of pogofruits can slow these little worker bees down!
(No drones were harmed in the making of this gif) Drones can be programmed to help with a variety of tasks around the ranch. Need them to carry plorts from collectors to the plort market? Easy as kookadoba pie! Want to throw a bunch of carrots into an incinerator? Let it burn, baby!
How do you want drones to help around your ranch? Tell us on Twitter or join in on the discussion below! Did you miss the Drones Update Preview? Read the full post and learn more about drones HERE!

• You wake at the crack of dawn and get to watering the crops at the ranch. Some slimes are vegetarian, after all. Then it’s time to gather up the plumpest hens from the chicken coop. Some slimes are totally not vegetarian, after all.
  
  
• Next, you’re off to feed slimes their breakfast over at the slime corrals so they don’t get too out of hand during the day. Hungry slimes get jumpy. Jumpy slimes can’t be contained.
  
  
• With your ranch set for the day, it’s time to begin exploring the untamed wilds of the Far, Far Range. Along the way, you’ll encounter slimes you’ve never seen before, discover a new type of veggie to cultivate back at the ranch, and narrowly avoid certain doom in a valley of burly, feral slimes.
  
  
• With the sun setting, it’s time to head back to the ranch, rustle up some dinner for your slimes, and try and figure out just how the heck you’ll keep these new slimes that seem to, well, explode all the time.
  
  
• But you can do this. You had the courage to travel a thousand light years away from home to make a living as a slime rancher. Slimes that go boom? No problem. Slimes that burn with a radioactive aura? Bring it on. Slimes that wiggle their butts? Wait, do slimes even have butts?
