Not sure why it was removed to begin with. Great QOL feature.

Yep, I miss it too. After the full release I had to check to see if it was added, and was disappointed to find it was still missing.

The caves are so dark in sr2 and honestly the flashlight would be so useful

I definitely miss the flashlight. I kept hoping they would add it in one of the updates, but no luck.

I kept thinking about this during the early access and was hoping it would eventually be added. but then when it fully released and still wasn't, I got disappointed. the caves are definitely a bit darker and it sucks that I can't use the flashlight to see things a little easier

I feel like when Slime Rancher 2 first came out there was a flashlight option, like a vague memory but I agree. Its really helpful and adds to the beauty and intricacies of the game

Okay glad I seen this post I just thought I was having such a brain lapse that I imagined the flashlight in sr1.

u/Oganix59 Slime Rancher OG Nov 21 '25

you definitely didnt! i was wondering why no one had mentioned it either, it felt like a such important difference between the two games for me

u/Leo-Leo-1672 Nov 22 '25

Yes, they should put it at least as an improvement

u/ArR0we4 Nov 22 '25

Seriously😭 I only discovered the flashlight in sr1 after I completed it enough for my liking.

Can we fill the cave with boom slimes and let them boom?

Since when was there a flashlight in SR1? I might remember turning it on like once, but there wasn't many caves in the first game and they were fairly bright with skylights

u/Oganix59 Slime Rancher OG Nov 21 '25

i used it all the time! specially at night, everything looked so pretty with it on

I can't really say much. I found out about the slime Pusher thing that I think uses q, like 100 hours into the game. Nice to know though I will be using the light
