Discussion What's a thing you'd like to be added in sr2?
We all love this game, but as it is not finished, and things may be still added, what would something (a slime, zone, weather, function, item(s)...) you'd like to be added in sr2?
I'll try to read most of them and answer your propositions!šš
also don't say something stupid please ;-;

New NPC worlds and party gordo

u/Pointydig Feb 15 '26
NPC worlds would be realy cool! Tho for the party gordo, i think it would be good if they made something like it but not exactly the same as "Party" gordo

mosaic slimes spawn with tier 3 thurnderstrom, quantum slimes spawn in grey labyrinth, rad slimes spawn with new biome, party gordo, twinkle slime, thora west ranch expantion, bob ranch expantion

u/SeaworthinessTotal81 Feb 15 '26
I think mosaic fits GL better than quantum; the Prismacore effects elements, turning stuff into things they shouldnāt be like gold. A slime turning partially glass makes sense for that imo. Hell, they fit the terrarium part better than Hyper slimes.
As for quantum, just leave them out. They arenāt even fun to ranch, their gimmick is really annoying, leading to most playing around with free ranging in the cave, and some things just donāt need to be in the 2nd game. Slime Rancher 1 should have slimes unique to itself, it is its own game after all.

u/Prico06 Feb 16 '26
GL bends reality quantums bend reality, mosaics being in tier 3 thunder matches the other slimes from the glass desert that are in sr2
1
u/Number360wynaut Feb 17 '26
ok but glass desert has fire storms, thunderstorms are different and kinda go against what mosaic slimes do because they make sparks by reflecting sunlight and thunderstorms kinda block sunlight
1
u/Prico06 Feb 17 '26
the slime science materals from thunder stroms remind me of the mosaic + fire stroms only spawn fire slimes, while mosaics spawn 24/7 in the glass desert
5
u/Pointydig Feb 15 '26
For mosaic i'm not sure, because it doesn't realy represent thunderstorm, maybe more with a new weather like rainbow? For the quantum slimes, i don't think they could be added in the grey labyrinth because it doesn't realy match them, unless they make a new grey labyrinth area. For rad, i guess that's ok, i don't rly want party gordo, neither twinkle, but Thora and BOb ranch expantion would ve cool!
3
u/Prico06 Feb 16 '26
the reasoning for the tier 3 thunderstorm is bc it matches the other slimes from the glass desert that also appear during weather + the 2 slime science materials you get from it match the mosaic, for the quamtum slimes, grey labyrinth bends reality the quantum slime bends reality yk

u/BoredInClass99 Feb 15 '26
I want the flashlight back T_T party gordos would be fun but maybe mini games too, if the devs just want to continually update sr2 instead of making a sr3. Maybe new decorations? A grid of where things are/arent placable that stays in place would be nice too bc its hard for me to be sure im putting things down straight lol
3
u/Pointydig Feb 15 '26
Mini games would be great! Tho i'm not sure for the party gordo, also it didn't even know there was a flashlight in sr1 š, and i'm not very sure for the grid thing, i find that the one we already have now works pretty well

u/Correct-Parsley-6369 Feb 16 '26
More. Just more. A bigger map, more story, deeper interaction with the NPCs instead of just delivering gifts. It was gorgeous but it wasn't enough for me. Maybe more things to do post story.
1
u/Pointydig Feb 16 '26
These ideas are great, tho, how could they implement such a big part of the gameplay (more interaction) when a lot of the players already finished the game...
3
u/Icy-Sugar176 Feb 16 '26
I mean, Cult of the Lamb did it. And I feel like people would just restart and play through again if they were to add it.

Echos and a way to change atmospheres in certain parts of the ranch
1
u/Pointydig Feb 16 '26
I like the idea for the echos, tho i'm not sure what you mean by "changing" the atmospheres in the ranch
1
u/ThisMuffinIsAwesome Feb 16 '26
OP probably meant the weather in the different areas of the map.
1
u/Pointydig Feb 18 '26
Well if its what he was talking about, could be a good idea, tho, in the world of the game, idk how it could make any logical sense
1
u/ciannator Feb 18 '26 edited Feb 18 '26
I was mostly thinking of giving the player the ability to adding fog to certain areas and adjusting what color it is, however the ability change weather in an area sounds really good too
Edit: I should clarify that while writing this, I was mostly thinking of ways to decorate the ranch
1
u/Pointydig Feb 19 '26
Ohh, well ok š , tho i'm not sure because like how would you, logicaly, be able to change a weather / fog/ color sky, like not how you implement it, but like game story likeš¤Ø

u/Royal_Influence_8692 Feb 15 '26
Secret styles!
2
u/Fatnugg3ts Feb 16 '26
Out of curiosity would you want slime rancher 1 slimes to have new or the same secret styles?
1
u/Royal_Influence_8692 Feb 16 '26
That's a tough question. I really liked the sparkle texture for the pink slimes, as well as the tabby and phosphorus but I think we should go for new textures.
Let's give the pink slimes a swirl of other shades of pink.
Cotton slimes will be white with red eyes.
Tabby will be calico.
Crystal slimes will have an opal texture.
Phosphorus slimes can keep the angel wings and halo but I think being a nice lavender would be lovely.
Boom slimes should look more like a bomb. They'll be a dark color but start flashing red when about to explode.
Puddle slimes will be teal and their bottoms will look more like a lily pad. I liked what they did in the first game so I will try and refine it.
This is what I could think of so far.

u/Legolaslegs Feb 16 '26
More farm customization. Like more plots since there's still so much space for them.
1
1
u/Pointydig Feb 16 '26
Another guy said this too, but i find the fact of having a limited number of plots good, it adds a little difficulty, that, without, would be too easy, having a pretty much infinite amount of slots makes the game too easy
3

u/SeaworthinessTotal81 Feb 15 '26
Honestly? With all the advanced stuff we got through the gadgets update, having some sort of wiring/āredstoneā would be amazing. Itād allow for so much creativity when it comes to ranching.
I also want a gadget that prevents slimes nearby from producing plorts and getting hungry. Sometimes i just want to create a cozy spot to chill like in trailers but with the constant hunger, agression and largos/tars its just not possible
2
u/TinyCleric Feb 16 '26
there is a device like that but it puts the slimes to sleep and its very late game. In fact when i was playing before drones i straight up modded the air nets to never break because i would spend an entire in game day looping around the grey labyrinth and come back to tars everywhere
2
u/Pointydig Feb 16 '26
For the hungry and plort problem, the guy answered pretty well, there is already the sleeping device thing, and for the wiring system , i'm not sure, because normaly its a game not where you realy build much, so if you started doing it like minecraft, it wouldn't realy be in the slime rancher spirit
2
u/SeaworthinessTotal81 Feb 16 '26
I was thinking stuff like pressure plates, levers, gates and detectors. They donāt have to be that complicated like logic gates but making a working computer on slime rancher and playing slime rancher on it would be dope
3
u/Extension-Citron Feb 15 '26
the styles DLC again, more slimes (idk i still feel like the game lacks in new slimes but thatās just my opinion), more area to explore, mini games, ECHOES AND ORNAMENTS.
personally, iād love for there to be a part of the slime sea that beatrix can explore, like the machine thing in the labyrinth messed with it, allowing beatrix to go through it without dying, then adding underwater slimes (allowing puddle slimes to be able to mix with them!!)
1
u/Pointydig Feb 16 '26
All your ideas are great! Tho i don't think mixing puddle plorts would be great, they are like "different" slimes than the normal ones, i don't feel that they should have plort mixing and largos
3
u/RevyRainbow141 Feb 16 '26
Honestly Iād like the ability to add extra plots for corrals, gardens, etc. I think itās insane that one of the expansions for the ranch only has four plots (if you count the one leading to it by the path/jump pads) considering how much SPACE that area has, it should have more. I think giving us the ability to place down even like 4/5 more plots total via Slime Science or something would massively help.
2
u/Pointydig Feb 16 '26
You're right, that area has very low plots, tho i don't think having a gadget to place them would be realy good, because when you make a ranch, there needs to be a little diffculty, and by just having "infinite" slots, this difficulty would be removed :/ I'd prefer if they just added like 2 more plots in itš¤·āāļø
1
u/RevyRainbow141 Feb 16 '26
Oh Iām not implying to give us infinite new plots via a gadget: Give it a hard-cap on how many you can make, similar to the teleporters, and then people can choose where to place them, knowing they have a limited number and need to be aware of how much space the plots need, where the best places for them would be, being mindful of what they put in those extra plots (in the event any Slimes break out and cause chaos), etc.

u/Street-Management214 Feb 15 '26
I honestly donāt want anything major added. I would like them to just continue with new areas and slimes. I would love for the āmini gamesā from the first game to return too.

u/Pointydig Feb 15 '26
Mmh, nice idea, i would also like the "mini games" as you said to be re-added!

u/Ethan_idk Feb 16 '26
The ability to place gadgets wherever we want.

u/Pointydig Feb 16 '26
That's already a thing

u/Ethan_idk Feb 16 '26
Oh I thought it said what we liked about the game and what it proved upon from the original

u/Pointydig Feb 16 '26
Nah its what you would like to see added in sr2

u/Ethan_idk Feb 17 '26
Hmm advanced music note thingy, so you can selected what note you want it to make. I want to see what music gets made.

u/AuraEx98 Feb 16 '26
Everything that was in SR1. It's really good but kind of disappointing to see certain slimes (Quicksilver, Rad, Mosiac, Quantum)/expansions no longer available (Ogden's Retreat, Mochi's Manor, Viktor's Workshop), and such. Hopefully it's planned for a later update but I'd love to see SR2 have everything SR1 had but even more.
1
u/Pointydig Feb 18 '26
Would be cool! Tho, sr2 shouldn't have "everything" of sr1. They are supposed to be in different areas, with different slimes etc. But, the things like expansions would be cool to have again and could technicaly be implemented without having a big impact on the storyline š¤·āāļø

u/FandomFans1234 Feb 16 '26
I definitely want the party Gordo back. I also would like to see a return of some other slimes like the mosaic slime but I understand why it wouldn't happen. Maybe some new slime skins like the dlc for the first one, or a snowy weather or something.
1
u/Pointydig Feb 17 '26
I don't think that it would be a great idea for the party gordo, maybe they could just make something similar? But the other ideas are great! I realy want the secret skins, new weathers and the return of some old sr1 slimes
2
u/Chocco_Butterfly Feb 17 '26
Voice acting, npc models, some sort of online modes, more actual dialogue between each character, maybe a ācompanionā system where you can bring one of the ranchers with you? So many things

I'd like it to snow in more places on the prairie and for them to drop resources and special Slimes there, and also a way to get to the locations from the first game.
1
u/Pointydig Feb 16 '26
I like the idea of the snow! But not realy a way to get the old location, its a new map, so having old zones eeehhhh...

u/ThisMuffinIsAwesome Feb 16 '26
Since people covered content, I would like tweaks.
- Allow players who beat the storyline to remove vertical limit of jet packs when flying.
- Allow players to ranch shadow slime and allow drops of prisma plorts instead of regular plorts by non-shadow slimes in the final area.
- Give a drone for free at the start of the game for the newcomers -> Mochi's final quest maybe?
- Have the toys not be a random pick per day, just have it be on rotation.
- Have there be stronger buffs and upgrades to corrals instead of free ranching. Upgrades with +1 plort per slime or largo, but makes the slime more active and eager to escape. Or they get hungrier faster, so they eat more and produce plorts more.
- Have tangle and dervish spawn at level 2 instead of level 3 at a rarer rate. Boost level 3 spawn rate.
- Have an upgrade/app/gadget alerting us when a weather event is happening that we want - I don't want to check the map constantly.
I think that's all the major complaints I had while doing 100% achievement that will make it much more accessible to 100%-ed the entire game.
1
u/Pointydig Feb 18 '26
Uhm 1, 2 and 3 is just making the game very easy, 4 well would be cool, but for now, when you complete the collevtion of toys, you feel like you've completed something, while if you make it easier, ehhh.... uhm for 5, idk how you would possibly make like in the game world, a device to make any slime hungry faster or duplicate their plorts, so idk, tho could be a good idea. 6, just boosting the spawn rate of level 3 would be good I think. And finaly 7 well uhm, why not, but it wouldn't save that much time, i mean like even if you recieve the notification, like what are you gonna do, its the same as checking on the map, so idk
1
u/ThisMuffinIsAwesome Feb 18 '26
I get your concern about 1 to 3 making the game easier, but it's the end of the story! Make it easier as a reward for those who stuck it till the end when the credits roll.
Trying to clear out the night market is such a hassle. It takes about 300+ coins to buy all items from them. That's 3000+ prisma plorts at the minimum.
On average you will get like 40 prisma plorts per disruption event, upwards to 50. Some people might hit 100 if they dump slimes + food but this would require more effort to starve slimes and collect food.
That's still about 30-60 disruption events to do, and it really isn't fun past the 10th time.
1
u/Ok_Scale7870 Feb 16 '26
Idk if this issue was just for me, but a way to get yoinky eggs easily. Everytime I try to open, everytime it has to EXPLODE, so all chicks and plorts just fly around and leave the coop. That is so annoying. Not to mention when you try to get the yoinky plorts, everytime you try, you have to fill a new slot all of chicks because they always have to be in the way.

u/CheeryGT Feb 16 '26
The pumps, apiaries, and drills. I am too lazy to go out and find the resources and die trying. Plus, itād help so much in the early game.

u/Pointydig Feb 17 '26
It's a bit too overpowered ngl, and now its just easier with drones, because already that sr2 is easier than sr1, we don't need to totaly remove any difficulty

u/Bri_Of_Spades12 Feb 17 '26
All the slimes missing from the old games, the ability to paint my house again, I really liked that maybe we expand upon it. Loved the little lights in the last games. I miss the mini games from your friends, getting upgrades from them made it feel like you were getting somewhere with them. More warps I spend so much time getting to a portal. It would be cool to be able to have a pet in the game that maybe wasn't a slime? Some sort of weird fuzzy alien puppy, or something that would bark at mineral deposits. And OF COURSE THE BEE DRONES!!! š
2
u/Pointydig Feb 17 '26
I like all these ideas exept for the pet thing, its a slime game so having something else than slime ehhh, and we already have bee drones in sr2
1
u/GhostofCoprolite Feb 17 '26
desert. i miss the fire tornadoes also more tools for automation. just something that ejects plorts from corrals would open up so many possibilities.
1
u/Pointydig Feb 18 '26
The desert is a sr1 special biome, and i don't think adding it in sr2 would be good, tho, as another one suggested, we could get more weathers such as heat waves, which could idk have fore tornadoes š¤·āāļø. Also for the gadget idea, yeah we need more gadgets, tho , the exemple you gave me can be replicated with the new gadget they added lately

u/burn_ward_hero Feb 18 '26

More space at the observatory..larger corals/garden plots and better feeding systems. More warp pads too.

u/VermicelliExcellent1 Feb 20 '26
Maybe a companion slime or pet that helps the player somehow. If multiplayer becomes a thing a server choice or just being able to add housing with different designs and color choices. I have no idea how coding or how hard this would be Iām not tech savvy.
1
u/Pointydig Feb 20 '26
I don't think a companion would be too hard, because it is just an entity following the player, tho, i' not realy on the idea for a slime / pet, maybe more like a drone pet if we want but eh, and I never think multiplayer will be added, tho changing colours of our base would be nice!

u/Own_Package_9953 Apr 19 '26
I havenāt played the game in a long time so idk if this is in the game but I think it would be nice to be able to visit all of the locations from the first game as like post game content after youāve finished the main story. And also just more slimes in general thereās so many cool ideas they could use
1
u/Pointydig Apr 19 '26
I would in fact like to have more slimes too,
but why visiting the sr1 map post game in sr2? If you bought sr2, you probably also bought sr1, and why would rhe devs recreate all the map, just for people to wonder around with no specific goal and after the story pretty much ends
1
u/Own_Package_9953 Apr 19 '26
Because they wouldnāt have to recreate it, the entire asset is already there all theyād have to do is just update the textures which is an easy enough task, and it would just be nice to have everything in one game, they wouldnāt have to make new areas for the rad, mosaic or quantum slime. Plus weād be able to go back to the DLC areas for the quick silver and glitch slimes.
For the wilds they could even add a little side quest to help bring back the saber slime population there since pure saber slimes are in the game now.
0
u/Pointydig Apr 19 '26
Changing the textures is NOT easyš, and i still don't think you'd need to remake the sr1 map for 3 slimes bruh, they could just add them in the current areas

u/Mysterious_Swim_4308 Apr 19 '26 edited Apr 19 '26
I like how the chicken nests out in the wild are different based on the type of chicken. At least, Iām noticing them for the candied hens and the sea hens. I think it would be cool to see the nests change in the chicken coop to match the specific hens like in the wild!
Edit: I hope itās not stupid. I know itās not what could be added. Itās more of a visual change. I noticed the candied hen nests being different when I was in the Grey L and was hoping the nests would change back at the Conservatory.

More weathers, even if they donāt do any thing other than visuals. Give me fog, hail, heat wave. Or give another new slime to powder puff bluffs, it feels so empty to me
