Try to make sure that there is no food over there, and also, if you just put them in corrals they will be able to not onlt grab food around them with their vines, but also able to have their plorts picked up automatically.

Imo free-ranging is useless. Unless someone can enlighten me, I see no point in doing anything but corralling all slimes.

Quantom slimes

Free Ranging in the Grotto/cave is perfectly viable, especially for Quantums.

If you're going to free range in the Overgrowth I would make Largos that are not very mobile. Keep the planters growing food they like and put toys inside the planters and in general in the middle of the area. Lots of toys will help keep them from venturing off, and the trees/plants will attract them when they want food when the food drops. Putting toys in the planters also helps draw them to where the food falls, and keeps them there since they have a tough time knocking toys out of the planters.

So yeah as for mobility...I wouldn't recommend Dervishes. Mix them with something like Mosaics. Tangle Mosaics are gorgeous slimes and it kind of makes sense - plants love light, crystal plants holding and refracting light, etc. etc. Good combo imo, plus they don't jump around very much. Some Largos have a tough time getting into the planters as well (there's a little lip they have to hop over) but the Tangles don't need to with their vines so they'll be fine in the Overgrowth.

Dervishes though will fly all over the place without walls, and the only walls are in Corrals or the Grotto (Grotto is so good for free range that I have Quantum Phosphors in there and they're chillin, and since they don't eat meat I can free range various types of Chickens in there as well - it's a freaking wild house in my Grotto).
