Slime Rancher is a popular farming simulation game where players take on the role of a rancher named Beatrix LeBeau. Set on a colorful alien planet called the Far, Far Range, players collect and raise various types of slimes, each with unique behaviors and needs. The goal is to manage resources, grow crops, and expand the ranch while exploring the vibrant environment. Players can capture slimes using a vacuum-like device called the Vacpack and feed them to produce valuable resources known as Plorts. These Plorts can be sold for in-game currency, allowing players to upgrade their equipment and unlock new areas. The game combines exploration, farming, and strategy in a whimsical setting.
