A basic corral, given to all ranchers upon creation of their ranch
Slimepedia Entry
A corral is used to keep slimes on a ranch. The open-air corrals are designed for maximum slime satisfaction, with the rich soil of the Range beneath them and its expansive sky above them. Slimes will remain perfectly happy within corrals as long as they are fed regularly.
Remember: You can shoot things THROUGH a corral barrier. Handy!
Tips: Higher walls are important to keep the slimes contained because: 1. large quantities of slimes will bounce too much, 2. slimes will stack to escape if too hungry, and 3. flying slimes can just hop over the level 1 walls.

Air Net: Makes a ceiling to a Corral, but may be temporarily removed if hit multiple times.
Tips: Having an air net over a level 1 wall is not very effective because the strength of the net dissipates with every slime that bumps into it. If the net "breaks" it will recharge and re-appear, but you may lose slimes in the meantime. Air nets are especially effective for flying slimes, such as Phosphors and Phosphor largos. It is also good to keep tabby slimes in, because they jump a LOT.
Tips: The plort collector attaches to the far corner of the Corral and has two storage slots so it can collect two types of plorts at the same time. This makes it ideal for largos. However, the collector does not work immediately after you feed the slimes. Instead, it activates at regular intervals and only sucks up whatever is currently available. Because of this, it is too dangerous to keep more than 2 slime types in a single Corral.
Can also assist greater when collecting plorts from Rock, Boom, and Rad slimes, as you can stand a fair distance away from their corral and still collect their Plorts without getting hurt.
Auto Feeder: Feeds slimes automatically.
Tips: The auto-feeder can hold one type of food at a time and dispenses food at regular intervals. Try placing the slimes' favorite food so they produce double the plorts! The auto-feeder activates at the same time as the plort collector.
Music Box: Calms slimes down.
Tips: The music box is soothing to the slimes and allows them to keep their happiness status for longer, so it takes them longer to get angry, or explode (in the case of Boom slimes). Additionally, it helps prevent them from trying to escape, so you can leave them alone for longer.
Solar Shield: Protects certain slimes from the day or night when in a Corral.
Tips: This upgrade is necessary to hold Phosphor slimes or Phosphor largos (unless you put them in the Grotto) as they will disappear in full sunlight.
