Where to find Yolky Slime in Slime Rancher 2

As part of the new additions in the Slime Rancher 2 update 0.2.0, the Yolky Slimes are one of the cutest new slimes that we have seen in the game in a while. But, they can be extremely hard to find as they are of the rare variety. Where can you try to get them? We will tell you all the most useful tips that we have.

Yolky Slime spawn locations

Usually, the best places to hunt down the Yolky Slimes are nests of wild chickens on Rainbow Island or, generally, where wild chickens will spawn. Unfortunately, these nests are quite rare to come by, so you will have to be careful around them since Yolky Slimes will pop up of the nests as you walk just around the nests themselves, and that only happens the first time, in a single day, that you happen upon them.

We would recommend mapping out a quick path through the nests that you have found around your ranch. This way, you can come up with a daily farming routine that includes looking for these nests, since they will spawn Slimes each day. If you don’t see any, try to walk past them several times.

Another clue is of the audio kind; Yolky Slimes can often be heard producing a sort of high-pitched whine if they are just idling or bumping into other slimes or objects. Unfortunately, even if you raise your volume, it is pretty difficult to hear it clearly. We would recommend keeping a lookout for nests instead.

How to harvest Yolky plorts

Once you manage to capture a Yolky Slime, it can be easily brought to the conservatory and, luckily, it will not despawn. When they are near chickens, they can inspire the production of giant eggs, but only if the chickens themselves have enough space to reproduce. That means you should have one hen and one rooster in one single coop, any more than that and you might risk not using the Yolky Slimes to their maximum potential.

Finally, it is good to keep in mind that the giant egg that the chickens will produce must be opened within three in-game hours of being spawned if you are looking to harvest the highly nutrient (and quite expensive) yolky plorts. Just pick up the egg and throw it against any walls. Eggs that are too old will not contain any nutrients, but instead only little chickadees.
