Food

Food is the method of feeding Slimes (they can also eat Plorts). Fruit, Meat and Veggies are the three categories of food that can be fed to slimes. Food can be found throughout the World: Fruit is located on trees, Meat near nests, and Veggies in crops. Food can also be farmed at the Ranch: Meat is grown Coops, and Veggies or Fruit in Gardens. If you do not keep watch on your gardens and coops, however, Veggies and Fruit can decay and Meat can become of no more use.

Cuberry

Information
Spawn Locations:	No
Food type	Fruit
Favorite of	Phosphor Slime
Maximum harvest	30

"Delicate, sweet, and they never roll off the table."

On the Ranch:

Deposit a cuberry into a garden's depositor and you'll grow a large cuberry tree of your very own. This tree will last for several harvests.

Due to their sweet taste and curious shape, cuberries were quick to become a favorite amongst the first ranchers on the range. They are often used in cakes and pies when celebrating special occasions, like birthdays or Plortapalooza.

Mint Mango

Information
Spawn Locations:	No
Food type	Fruit
Favorite of	Honey Slime
Maximum harvest	30

"Intensely sweet with a cool, minty finish."

On the Ranch:

Deposit a mint mango into a garden's depositor, and you'll grow a large mint mango tree of your very own. This tree will last for several harvests.

The mint mango is perhaps the sweetest fruit ever discovered. Its appearance is that of a mango, with a thicker, syrup-like juice, and a bright, minty aftertaste. It's no wonder Honey Slimes seek them out or that they have such amazingly fresh breath.

Tips:

• Mint Mangoes can be found in the same area as the Honey Slimes, however, they grow very slowly on trees and may not be immediately visible.

• You can gather Mint Mangoes and grow them on your ranch in a Garden plot.

Pogofruit

Information
Spawn Locations:	No
Food type	Fruit
Favorite of	None
Maximum harvest	30

"The most common fruit found on the Range, and some say, the most delicious."

On the Ranch:

Deposit a pogofruit into a garden's depositor and you'll grow a large pogofruit tree of your very own. This tree will last for several harvests.

Pogofruit are a common sight almost anywhere on the Far, Far Range. Tasting a bit like a peach, they're most notable for having their trademark spots both on and under the skin

Tips:

• The Pogofruit is the most common and most accessible fruit and is very helpful for feeding Fruit-eating slimes, such as The Phosphor Slime or the Honey Slime.

Hen Hen

Information
Spawn Locations:	No
Food type	Meat
Favorite of	None

"A hearty chicken bred to be twice as tasty as its cousin on Earth"

On the Ranch:

Hen hens in close proximity to Roostro will periodically lay eggs that produce Chickadoos. However, keeping too many hens or roostros in close proximity makes them anxious and egg production will come to a halt. Savvy ranchers with an understanding of the complex nature of chicken romance always keep their coops from exceeding 12 grown chickens.

Hen hens are a special breed of chicken bred to survive the climate of the Far, Far Range. While appearing more or less like a big chicken, these burly birds are much more adept at fending for themselves, making them ideal for ranchers who might otherwise be distracted by a few hundred hungry slimes.

Trivia:

• Like Slimes, Hen Hens and their variants have AI that dictates their actions. Hen Hens are known to jump onto rocks away from the reach of hungry Slimes, or avoid falling off cliffs into the mouths of slimes (to an extent).

Chickadoo

Information
Spawn Locations:	No
Food type	Future Meat
Favorite of	None

"So little and soft you'd think they're filled with marshmallow."

On the Ranch:

Keep chickadoos in a safe place and they'll eventually grow into a Hen Hen or Roostro.

Tips:

• Chickadoos cannot be used as food for slimes, they need to grow up first!

• A chickadoo is also required for the achievement "You... Monster!" in which you must throw a chickadoo into an Incinerator.

Elder Roostro

Shakes his tail feathers and no one cares.

"An old bird whose egg-laying days are over, easy."

On the Ranch:

Briar Hen

Information

Food type	Meat
Favorite of	Boom Slime

"A real wild bird that loves to ramble in the bramble"

On the Ranch:

Briar hens in close proximity to roostros will periodically lay eggs that produce briar chickadoos. Great for reproducing more meat to feed to boom slimes.

Note: Briar Hens and chickadoos do not have a roostro counterpart yet. In order to breed, a regular roostro needs to be used.

"A breed of chick that's totally bush-league."

On the Ranch:

Keep briar chickadoos in a safe place and they'll eventually grow into a Briar Hen or Roostro.

Roostro

Information
Spawn Locations:	No
Food type	Meat
Favorite of	Hunter Slime

"Struts his stuff like he's king of the coop."

On the Ranch:

All hens in close proximity to roostros will periodically lay eggs that produce chickadoos. However, keeping too many hens or roostros in close proximity makes them anxious and egg production will come to a halt. Savvy ranchers with an understanding of the complex nature of chicken romance always keep their coops from exceeding 12 grown chickens.

Roostros are the alpha birds on the Far, Far Range and half of the equation required to breed chickens on the ranch. However, roostros are rarer than any hen making them a great find any time one is discovered.

To acquire a roostro, either find one out on the range or breed them on the ranch. Any type of chickadoo has a small chance of growing into a roostro. Some ranchers believe that these odds increase if you greet the Rooster King's crow at sunrise with an enthusiastic 'good morning!'

Stony Hen

Information
Spawn Locations:	No
Food type	Meat
Favorite of	Tabby Slime

"Has a rock solid conviction... in chicken stuff."

On the Ranch:

Stony hens in close proximity to roostros will periodically lay eggs that produce stony chickadoos. However, keeping too many hens or roostros in close proximity makes them anxious and egg production will come to a halt. Savvy ranchers with an understanding of the complex nature of chicken romance always keep their coops from exceeding 12 grown chickens.

Note: Stony Hens and chickadoos do not have a roostro counterpart yet. In order to breed, a regular roostro needs to be used.

Veggies

Veggies can be grown in a garden like fruit.

---

Heart Beet

Information
Spawn Locations:	No
Food type	Veggie
Favorite of	Rock Slime
Maximum harvest	20

"If you listen to it closely, you can faintly hear a veggie."

On the Ranch:

Deposit a heart beet into a garden's depositor and you'll have a large heart beet crop of your very own. This crop will last for several harvests. Heart beets get their name from their deep, red color and heart-like shape. Heart beets are also unusually juicy for a beet, making it the only veggie that's not for the squeamish in the kitchen.

Tips:

• In the first area you can access; the Heart Beets only appear occasionally at night time in patches where Carrots normally grow.

• However, some Heart Beets can be found during the day if you look on higher plateaus using the Jetpack. Such as on the left-hand side of the very first open area that only spawns Pink Slimes (and Phosphors at night).

• It can also be found under bridges (such as the one that is next to the area where Tabby, Rock, and Pink Slimes all spawn together).

Trivia:

• Its Name, Heart Beet, is a matter of wordplay, referencing 'Heart Beat"

Carrot

Information
Spawn Locations:	No
Food type	Veggie
Favorite of	None
Maximum harvest	20

"Next to a vacpack, it's a rancher's best friend."

On the Ranch:

Deposit a carrot into a garden's depositor and you'll have a large carrot crop of your very own. This crop will last for several harvests.

The humble carrot was brought to the Far, Far Range because they're easy to grow and nutritious. Most ranchers swear by them as they're a handy portable snack, promote good night vision, and when juiced are only second to coffee as the perfect morning beverage.

Oca Oca

Information
Spawn Locations:	No
Food type	Veggie
Favorite of	Rad Slime
Maximum harvest	Unknown

"A tubular mix of colorful spuds"

On the Ranch:

Deposit an Oca Oca into a garden's depositor and you'll have a large Oca Oca crop of your very own. This crop will last for several harvests.

A staple of cooking on the range, the hearty Oca Oca is a naturally salty, soft spud. As the key ingredient to the always tasty 'rancher's hashbrowns' they have likely been the fuel for a great deal of slime wrangling since their discovery on the range.

Oca Oca is a food in Slime Rancher that is not yet implemented in the game.

On the Ranch:

Deposit a Silver Parsnip into a garden's depositor and you'll have a large Silver Parsnip crop of your very own. This crop will last for several harvests.

Despite their slightly metallic aftertaste, these shimmering root veggies are considered a delicacy by gourmands across the galaxy. On the Far, Far Range, ranchers often eat them during the holidays, to bring good fortune in the coming year.

Silver Parsnip is a food in Slime Rancher that is not yet implemented in the game.
