I get excessive tar when I don’t brush

Are you talking about on the ranch or in the wild? In the wild most areas have 2 normal slime types with the rare ringtail slime being a third during the day. At night tarr usually form after a bit due to the addition of phosphor slimes, which is intentional. Seeing tarr in the wild occasionally is normal.

If tarr is appearing on your ranch then there is a control issue, invest in pen upgrades and/or keep fewer largos in the pens.

I have noticed this as well.
On the PC I have noticed that the plorts and slimes don't despawn when you leave the area, thus there are an excess of plorts everywhere so tarr can happen really quickly at any time of day, and then don't despawn either. I had about 20 tarr blocking my path at one point due to this.
Not sure if it's a bug or just one of the game changes.

this game seems to put groups of 3+ different slimes together way too often
not to mention tars can just directly spawn naturally at night without any 3 slime fusion.
Most of the time when i reach a new section there are already tars waiting

Keep playing and build yourself the water tank upgrade... and then you can easily wipe out all the Tarr in an area and -- since all the slimes are now dead -- it's quiet and peaceful once again. It's not an unsolvable problem.
Or, if that's a hassle and you travel through the area frequently, you can also place water turrets to do it for you.

Most areas have two but there are no borders between so they can easily wonder over

i have seen that too,everywhere i go has a tarr before im even there

[smoofdoof]

Yep, tarr everywhere. It's hard to enjoy the beautiful soundtrack of each area because the tarr music is always interrupting. I feel like just playing a new save file with tarr disabled.

lol I stopped playing with tarrs as soon as that option became available in the first game. I'm just trying to vibe with cute slimes and the game turning to chaos constantly because of mixtures of largos is obnoxious.
If you hate it then turn it off.

Fortunately in this game you don't have to make a new save to enable/disable tarrs, it's right in the menu options at any time :)

I always turn tar slimes off, that way I can free range mixed largos.

[BlackyxD]

same here but when theya get annoying i just shoot them out of the map into water

I thought oil and water don’t mix, not tar and water…

We're supposed to sleep in the house to reset things. It's also the only way to get the random loot containers to respawn.

I'm 90% positive that the containers still reset. I've found them over and over in little out-of-the-way caves in the first area. I wanna say 2-3 day timer or so.

I agree, the tarr are way too common. I didn't mind them at all in the first game, as you only saw them in a few areas regularly. Any time I took a step into the Starlight Strand the entire map turns to tar, eventually killing all the slimes leaving an empty world. I turned them off pretty quickly. So many people say to just disable it if you dislike it, however it was a non issue in the first game, so I don't understand why it's so bad in this one.
