Stardew Valley Slime Hutch Farming

I have had the slime hutch for about a year in-game time. I can tell you a few things. First, you need both males and females for them to breed. Second, Slime need water water to produce slime balls.

Stardew Valley Slime Hutch Breeding

Male slime with a round antenna might mate with a female slime. If both slime, male and female show a heart, it means they will have a baby of the same color and same HP but half of their size.

If one of them have heart but other one an exclamation mark, it mean the one with exclamation mark refused the advances of the other slime.

They breed like crazy and will breed into different colors. They produce slime balls that you can harvest. These slime balls explode into like 15-25 slimes for you to collect. You can use these slimes to make more slime eggs.

Be careful when you go in to feed them, they will attack and mob you. Grey ones are the most notorious ones in all of ’em.

You can also use pathway blockers like fences and statues, to trap and isolate them. You can still collect the slime balls and isolated slimes will still reproduce.

You can use steel or copper upgraded Watering can to fill water troughs automatically with the need of entering the area.

Enclosing the water sources anywhere will do fine, as the slimes don’t need to reach the water troughs.

Stardew Valley Slime Ring

Slime Ring makes you immune to slimes. How to get slime Ring? You need to kill atleast 1,000 slimes. They only you can get slime ring for the adventurer’s guild.

Stardew Valley Slime Hutch Worth It

So far, it’s useless to have slimes. You don’t really need slimes for anything except well…. Slimes. I had 6 slime hutches. They gave a steady 6k profit/day, which you can easily get from any other animal like cows or sheep.
