And I don't even have any drones or transfer devices yet.

Not looking forward to the quantum slimes, though...

I would try 6 largos per corral. The auto-feeder drops 6 per feeding time which is perfect, and they're not too crowded. Less slimes would also help boost your performance, by the sound of it.

K but i want to make my farm fully automatic so it is better to have more small slimes than less big slimes cause drones could had enough time to take all plorts and corals will not be overfilled (is this word even real?)

I know this already was choosen a proper answer but I'm still gonna give my suggestion. I'd suggestion 4 largos per corral. With 4 largos in one corral, it's still plenty of room for each individual largo to have their little personal bubbles.

I never tried having 6 largos in a corral but I'd fear the 6 wouldn't have enough space to themselves that some might get glitched out where a few are missing when you returned to your ranch. I personally never had a problem with vanishing slimes from my corrals so I don't know if having 6 largos stuffed in one corral would be too much and you'd either lose some largos or they'd be roaming free around your ranch.

From my experience 4 largos in a corral isn't overcowrding them, and they all give out double plorts if fed their favorite foods, so I think eventually having 4 per corral would somewhat equal the same outcome of having 6 to a corral without any risks of them possibly escaping if they are pushed against the air nets.

I don't use autofeeders, but maybe try setting the auto feeders to the bunny setting, I think that's the fastest setting it can be on.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do :D Have fun and I hope your smiles are happy. :D

10 largos works fine from my experience. auto feeders should be selected based on quantity as to maintain control of agitation levels.

Keep in mind drones set to feed slimes can only target one food group; Vegetable, fruit, or meat. With this knowledge, I fused meat eating slimes with veggie and fruit slimes because I personally don't enjoy how slow henhens are to produce. Then it's a simple matter of keeping one area to purely fruit largos or vegetable largos. You can only have 2 drones per ranch expansion, but this is perfect because one feeds, the other collects and stores/sells plorts.

Remember to water your drones! Can't do 100% automation in this game.

Yeah, this bug is really annoying, but I've had vanishing slimes even in smaller numbers. I'm honestly not sure what causes this, but I know it's not escapees because I've never seen any slimes wandering free-range on my ranch.

I just need to made each expansion for slimes that eat one type of food. For example on main Ranch i will put only slimes that eat fruits, at docks only fire and water slimes etc. you just need to know where youvwant to put slimes. And... well... about 100% automatization... it is NEVER possible to do 100% automatization. Even in game Factorio what is about automatization You can use whole ores abd then u need to build other querry. I just want update for character that have my name. then maybe i will get more space for slimes.

I'm sorry :C I hope that bug can get fixed. And I was sugguesting in my original comment, that possibly the slimes all squished together putting pressure on the corral's walls and air net, that probably how some slimes just glitch into the ground or wherever they vanish to during that glitch :c But I'm not sure. It was only a guess on my part.

Oh I wasn't getting upset at you or anything, no need to apologize! I was just agreeing that glitch is annoying. I also hope it gets patched because I've tried to isolate some slimes and monitor their numbers. They just up and arbitrarily vanish sometimes, pure or largo. Real weird!
