Login to Viktors Experimental Update!

Join Viktor Humphries and test his simulated reality of the Far, Far Range. Well, a work-in-progress version anyway... Watch the trailer here slimeamazed
This update is jam-packed with cutting-edge ranch tech including: Advanced Drones to help with daily chores, a (questionably useful) Chicken Cloner, and a whole collection of wacky gadgets designed by Viktor himself! Theres also a new zone, new ranch expansion, and a new slime! Viktors Slimeulation: Viktor has been working on a virtual re-creation of the Far, Far Range and its full of bugs. Well, glitches. Well glitch slimes to be exact. - Viktor will invite you to his Workshop after youve unlocked the Ruins, purchase the Lab Ranch Expansion, unlocked Treasure Cracker MKII, and then successfully complete a Range Exchange request with him. - Travel to Viktors Workshop and login to his Slimeulation. - Use Viktor's patented debug spray to reveal hidden glitch slimes and vac them up before they disappear! - Try to collect as many glitch slimes as you can before the simulation becomes corrupted. - Once the corruption starts to spread, Viktor will open an exit portal for you; make a break for it before things get out of control and escape the Slimeulation safely!
Glitch Slimes: Glitch slimes are hiding everywhere inside Viktor's Slimeulation and it's up to you to help him capture, quarantine, and research them before they spread! Be extra careful while exploring: taking damage from the corruption could give those tricky glitch slimes a chance to wiggle out of your tank! Glitch slimes will turn into bug reports after you leave the Slimeulation. Turn in your collection of bug reports for unique rewards and mysterious manifold cubes you can use to craft new gadgets.
New Gadgets! It wouldn't be a very science-y update without a ton of new slime science gadgets! Help Viktor wrangle glitch slimes and hell reward you with a smattering of useful gadgets hes been developing! Advanced Drones These new-and-improved drones can handle not one, but TWO programs! Talk about advanced! Set a primary AND a secondary task to keep these busy bees busy while youre busy being breezy. Portable Water Tap Water taps are a small, placeable water source that can be used to refill your tank if there arent ponds nearby. Chicken Cloner This is an experimental gadget constructed by one of Viktors scientific peers and, when it works, it creates a perfect clone of any chicken. When it doesnt, well, thats a data point at least! Slime Bait Fruit, Veggie, and Meat Slime Bait can be placed around your ranch or out in the Far, Far Range to attract slimes who favor that type of food. Portable Scareslime Place this on your ranch to keep slimes away from things they shouldnt be around or slimescared Dash Pad Ready, set, RUN! Use the Dash Pad to instantly refill your energy levels so you never need to slow down!!! The Decorizer This new storage device allows you to store, clean up, and manage decorative ranch items (ornaments, echoes, etc.) with the press of a button! Deck out your ranch and then clean it all up in a snap. The Decorizer can be unlocked via the 7Zee Rewards Club as a mid-tier reward (it will already be available for ranchers who have unlocked or surpassed Silver Storm I).

The Secret Style Pack:

We are also excited to announce that the Secret Style Pack is now available for purchase! Its an all-new downloadable content pack for Slime Rancher!




Search for special treasure pods throughout the Far, Far Range and discover each slime's unique secret style. Once discovered, you will be able to re-style every slime of that type whenever you choose! This new DLC pack adds 20 slime styles for you to find and unlock. Learn more over on the Steam store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1079180/Slime_Rancher_Secret_Style_Pack/ Note: Secret styles do not affect gordos as the gordos in the world, and their appearances, are an important part of game progression and we didnt want to make it confusing to new players. This may change in a future update after further evaluation. Visual Updates: - Slimes got a facelift! The art tech we developed for the Secret Style Pack resulted in all slimes getting new, crisper, more detailed faces with added depth. The new, beautified faces are available for every rancher with this update. - Added a new animation for boom slime explosions (they may be prettier, but they are still very dangerous. Please observe with caution!) - Added new tutorial popups which replace the old lightbulb animation with stuff like: an even more adorable Beatrix, slimes doing slime things, and so on. Is it worth restarting the game and playing for hundreds more hours just to see these new tutorial images? Maybe... - Updated Viktors Range Exchange icon. Other Changes: - Added the option to disable basic, advanced, or all tutorials. - Added new Slimepedia entries for Ogdens Kookadoba Hunt, Mochis Quicksilver Job, and Viktors Slimeulation Testing that you can reference if you need a refresher on what to do. - Lowered gadget fabrication requirements to unlock Treasure Cracker Mk II (from 35 to 20) and Mk III (from 100 to 50). - Updated the translation of Tabby Slime in the Korean translation. - Updated the game credits to include all the new team members that help make Slime Rancher here at Monomi Park! <3 - chikKns Fixes: - Drone pathing got an update so they should buzz harder, better, faster, smarter. - Phosphor largos will now disappear in the sun when the are carried outside. - Fixed an issue where puddle plorts in silos werent being collected by drones when you left the ranch. - Fixed a bug on Xbox that caused crates to appear blacked out. - Improved the performance of clouds. This was a very complicated change but technically speaking we made them do cloud stuff better. - Other various visual improvements to some terrain and structures. Let us know what you think about Viktors Update and the Secret Style Pack on Twitter! Until next time, stay wiggly and happy ranching! slimehappy ._.
