User blog:PopsicleNinja/Some Ideas For Challenges

Ugh, have you ever wondered what to do end-game? Do you ever get bored with your old save file, your same old gameplay style? Well, that is why this blog post exists: to address those issues. You can combine challenges or play them separately.

No Largo Challenge
You must not ranch largos, and any largo that happens must be released.

How To Play
Small slimes are much easier to keep in a corral, and you can fit more in there. Keep in mind that phosphor slimes can escape, though, and due to a glitch that makes largos unable to jump high enough, small slimes are much more mobile. Small slimes are also able to stack. So, if you keep corrals, you still need the high walls, and phosphor slimes need an air net, or they can fly straight out (I once lost a phosphor slime to the sun this way). You will need lots of plots for feeding each slime their favorite food, including seperate chicken coops to feed your various carnivores. If you free-range, don't worry about slimes not jumping into chicken coops or eating vegetables unless you are there, as those glitches do not seem to affect small slimes. This makes free-ranging much easier on you. Basically, the small slime challenge makes gameplay incredibly easy for you, making this challenge best when paired up with other challenges.

Picky Challenge
You must only feed slimes their favorite foods, with the exception of pink slimes, puddle slimes, and fire slimes. However, it is okay for free-range slimes in the overgrowth to eat naturally-spawning foods, as long as it isn't grown as a crop or fed to other slimes. Hunter slimes and crystal slimes are allowed to be fed carrots or normal chickens from their respective harvests.

How To Play
This is also an incredibly simple challenge, so it is best paired off with other challenges. The difficulty lies when you use up half the space growing favorite foods, if you are using corrals. Due to the nature of this challenge, it goes well with the No Largo challenge (see above).

Spoil Challenge
Your main goal here is not to make money, however, you will need a lot of it. It's to take four slimes per ranch area, and treat them like pets, doing whatever you think is "spoiling them rotten". There is a heavy involvement of slime science.

How To Play
There are no rules on the specific things you have to do to spoil your pets, as it is entirely a subjective things. However, it is advised that you use your expansions for more valuable slimes, as the rule is that any slime that enters your ranch is your pet, and that includes the starter pink slimes. You are not allowed to raise puddle slimes or fire slimes.

Dry Reef Challenge
You are not allowed to go anywhere outside the Dry Reef. Yes, that includes illegal jetpacking. If you need plorts or resources for slime science, you can get the plorts and the resources, but you have to gather the plorts from the wild. Just so long as foreign slimes are not on your ranch, and you aren't selling foreign plorts.

How To Play
Now, you have potential with previously-useless slimes. The Grotto actually does it's purpose, and pink slimes are not so useless. Take every advantage you can, because you won't have a lot of money.
