Slime Rancher

the following will help get lots of plorts, feed lots of slimes, and earn a good amount of newbucks. im not sure if this will set you back in the long run, it just worked for me as i started playing.

the goal is to set up 2 slime pens for phosphorus largos and 4 gardens with cuberry (the square strawberry looking fruit that grows on trees).

try to put the four gardens together. try to plant them with cuberry, they are found down the road really the only way i could go when i started. if you get to the bridge with the skull and cross bones it was the area just be fore that. if you cant find cuberry no big deal just plant anything in the gardens until you do find some cuberry. grab a bunch of pink slimes and just shoot them out over the gardens. they will eat the food as it grows and pop out pink plots.

the cuberry is important as it will give you double plots from the phosphorus largos. because it is their favorite food.

use the pink plots to upgrade your first pen to high walls, air net, solar shade, and the plort catcher. eventually you will want the autofeeder, i got the music box too but i have no clue if it helps or not. but get your second pen before the autofeeder and music box.

in one pen put a mix of phosphorus slimes and rock slimes. the other pen put phosphorus and cat slimes. if you cant find the phosphorus, they only come out at night but can sometimes be hard to find as they largo into other slimes, just feed the wild phosphorus largos and grab the phosphorus plots, they can be used to make the phosphorus largos. i found 10 largos in the pen work nice, more might work better.

dont forget to upgrade your gardens. im not sure scareslime even does anything, the loose pink slimes kept eating my stuff until i got rid of them even with the scareslime.

be careful with the largos getting a 3rd type of plort and becoming tar. other than that it should be super easy.

In order to get this achievement and all other "Earn over --- newbucks" achievements, there's a simple strategy to complete this quickly and pretty passively.

1. Make two corrals with the high wall, air net, auto feeder, and plort collector upgrades.
2. Fill both corrals with 10-15 largos. Preferably late game slimes like quantum/crystal and
dervish/mosaic largos.
3. Use their favorite foods to gather twice as many plorts. All favorite foods can be found in
the slimepedia. The favorite food of either half of the largo will give twice the plorts for both
halves of the largo.
4. Harvest to your hearts content! You can complete this process quicker by sleeping until the
next morning, refilling the auto feeders, emptying the plort collectors, and going right back
to sleep!

Here's my video for every achievement if you'd prefer. Skip to 4:27 for Well-Off Rancher.
Happy Hunting!

this achievement is really simple, all you need to do is earn 25,000 newbucks, so the games currency. this achievement is in the middle of two other money related achievements so it will have to be achieved if going for 100%.
you earn money mostly from selling plorts in the marketplace, the value changes daily so make sure you are getting the best deal for your plorts.
after hitting 25,000 it will pop. note that the 25,000 does not need to be on you at once, it is cumulative so as long as you make 25,000 throughout the game it will be fine.
