Have the developers considered Workshop Support?

[Yggdrasil Burnes]

The Nexus already has a rather modest, but impressive modding community. I can't help but wonder what they could do with modding, mapping, and texturing tools. The only things I could think of preventing it would be the intention of future paid content (which I am all for throwing my money at) or the lack of pre-planned infrastructure to implement it, in which case, that'd be a shame, but it doesn't seem impossible.

Long story short, their official statement for the subject is at least some of them want to, but it isn't in the cards for the time being. (Source being kara on discord when we discussed this same topic months back, and the rejection of the suggestion for the same given reason.)

Not entirely sure what is preventing it but its their given reason.

[Yggdrasil Burnes]

That's good to know. I'm sure they have their reasons.

A Website used by mod developers to shsre their work and such. Has no official affiliation with the devs or the game, but its a great place to check if your looking for mods for some games.

If on pc yeah.

Yeah, there's a couple right now. I can count them on my fingers, but they're all pretty fun.
One gives every slime unique colors, one lets you make Gold Largos (they don't vanish), one fixes chicken coops, one lets you vac up otherwise unvacable items, one completely destroys the motion balancing of slimes (it's the funniest thing I've ever seen), one lets you make these Singularity Slimes which act as an instant teleporter and produce valuable plorts, and one is your run-of-the-mill item spawner.

There is a Mod Loader called SRML that you will need to run before you can install mods safely, so download that first.

Honestly would check out the discord. Has links to all of these.

Google Slime Rancher Mods.

The website is called the Mod Nexus.

You will need to create and verify a free account to download mods! [forums.nexusmods.com]

When you click to register a new account, you will be brought to a page with many paragraphs and square boxes you can click.

DO NOT TICK ANY BOXES ON THE FIRST PAGE.

They are Optional memberships that cost Real Money, and are NOT necessary to download mods or interact on the site.

Simply scroll to the bottom of this page, click "Create Account" and sign up as you would normally. (Username, Password, Email, etc.)

When you finish, you will get an email. Click the link it gives you, and you should be automatically signed in, and you can now download mods.

Do that, Download This, [www.nexusmods.com] then run it.

It will open up a command prompt that will search for the game on your computer, and install the Mod Loader's files to the game automatically, so you shouldn't need to do anything.

Once it is done,
close out of it,
go into the game files by right-clicking Slime Rancher in your Steam Library,
going to Properties,
and finding the button that says Browse Local Files.
Click that.

There should now be a folder called Mods.

Download any mods you want from the Mod Nexus site,

and Extract them using 7-Zip [www.7-zip.org] (you only need to download one version of it) by opening the zip file and dragging the contents of the zip folder out of it.

This will "Unzip" the files, allowing them to be read by the computer.

You can drag the UnZipped Files and Folders straight into the Mod folder if you want.

You CANNOT drag the Zipped Zip Folder or Zip File into the Mod Folder.

Your Computer will not be able to read them, as Zip Folders and Zip Files are tucked away from the rest of the computer's data.

Once you have completed all these steps, just start up Slime Rancher. If you have any DLC, and it says it is not installed when you load your file, Restart the Steam Client THEN run Slime Rancher. All should work fine after this.

Have fun!
