Pink Slime

Pink Slimes are the most common slimes found in Slime Rancher. They can spawn in any location outside of the ranch at any time of the day.

Slimepedia
Slimeology: ''Pink Slimes are the most common slime found on the Far, Far Range. They're cheerful, docile, and the easiest of all slimes to ranch. A pink slime will eat anything you put in front of it, though they have no favorite food, and their plorts are the least valuable of all slimes.''

Rancher Risks: ''Not much to worry about with a pink slime. They're soft, squishy, very happy to be around a rancher, and found all over the Range.''

But because of this, a rancher won't go far without finding a few pink plorts, which can lead to largos, and then...

Plortonomics: ''Pink Plorts are an excellent "multipurpose generic substance" used to manufacture everything from food products to household cleaners. All over earth, people are eating burgers, sweetening their coffees, or scrubbing their floors with pink plort products. That's some serious versatility!''

Slimeology
Pink Slimes are generally amicable towards ranchers. They will eat anything that is presented in front of them (except chickadoos or inedible matter). They are common everywhere, and because of their varied diet, you will see their plorts around wherever you go. This leads to them being one of deadliest slimes on the range, though, as their excess of plorts will cause the Tarr to appear more often. When agitated, they become springier, allowing them, if working together, to be able to escape their corrals if not properly secured. They seem to be quite smart, seeing as they can totem to get out of corrals and path-find directly to their destination. Despite all of this, Pink slimes are considered to be the easiest of the slimes to ranch.

Tips

 * If a large number of regular Pink Slimes are agitated they will form a totem in an attempt to escape corrals. Having the High Wall, Air Net and the Jukebox upgrades will help counter this to some extent, but it's recommended not to keep too many and to turn them into Largos instead for Plort variety, especially early in the game.
 * Because Pink slimes can eat all foods, any difficult-to-feed Slimes such as Tabby Slimes can be converted to Pink Largos to compensate.
 * However, unless feeding Pink Largos favourite foods for Slime Science it may be more financially viable to convert them to Largos with a higher value Plort and a favourite food instead, such as a Phosphor Largo.
 * Despite being abundant and being of low monetary value, Pink Plorts are used in almost all Slime Science gadgets, making them a valuable resource once The Lab is unlocked.
 * Feeding them with 10 different types of food to unlocks the Omnivorous achievement.
