Possible to play without killing chickens or slimes?
Can I play this without killing any chickens or slimes on purpose?

I don't have the game yet and I'm wondering if I could farm only vegetarian slimes to avoid killing chickens.

yes, you can create largos by feeding a slime a plort from another slime. So if you feed the plort of a fruit eating slime to a meat eating slime then that largo can eat fruit.

The special slimes Gordos do require specific foods though.
Are you from ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ peta? Dont feel ashamed to incinerate your slimes or chickens or feed the chickens tto your slimes. They respawn (except for your largos, the big slimes but not the fat ones). The gordos (the FAT ones) have specific diets, and four of them eat meat (two tabby gordos, one boom gordo, and one hunter gordo)

I don't like killing the chickens either. Everyone plays their own way. You can raise slimes without feeding them chickens if you largo them with fruit or vegetable eaters. But if you want to get to everything, feeding gordos chickens are unavoidable. The two tabbies are both on teleporters - one is just a shortcut to the ranch, but the other is the only way to an island. There's also a tangle gordo on a teleporter, though that's again a shortcut home. The boom and hunter gordos give keys - you can get all the slime gates unlocked without them, but then you can't get all the treasure vaults at the end.

I toss slimes and chickens into the incinerator for laughs. I even name them before I do it. Just to add to the horror of it all. :steamhappy:

Ok, thanks! I'm not from PETA, I just have a fear of killing farm animals since on the farm as a child I had to behead chickens and their headless bodies would chase me around afterwards.

Then wouldn't it be funner for you to end the chickens? Like revenge for traumatizing you?

yeah 100%, I would even recommend getting the chicken pen just to keep them on your farm as pets, thats what I do with all the elder hen hens and roostros i find :)

It is seriously that big of a deal to you guys sitting and making fun of this person that they want to farm only veggie/fruit eating slimes? I mean seriously why waste the energy and time on being a d-bag?

Play the game how you want, 3 of the 4 meat eating gordos aren't crucial to the game as they give teleporters and you can make those at your farm. Instead what you could to do to think of it as a 'humane' way to use the chickens if it bothers you so much to feed them to the slimes is farm the chickens and collect the elder hen hens and roostros till you have collectively 50 of them. Then feed those to the Boom Gordo.

I mean you really shouldn't go on discussions and ask if you don't have to kill chickens, as it gives people the idea that you support PETA, are a vegan, etc. Large amounts of people dislike vegans as vegans can be rather pushy about what others eat. PETA is just a good idea that works on paper but not in real life.

@catikyu, that's ok, anyone who dislikes people based on assumptions like that isn't someone I care bout the opinion of. We don't have PETA in my country so don't know much about it, not sure if we have any vegans

@shroudedmist thanks, that's a cool idea or I could wait to see which chickens are mean to the other chickens and only kill the mean ones, or only feed the gordos chickens who enjoy being eaten
