A very basic guide on how I got all three 5-Day Achievements. I played on version 1.0.1c

The Guide
Step 1) Buy the jetpack and clear your farm of pink slimes. Just ditch them outside the front gate.

Step 2) You have to be quick here. Suck up as much food as you can, chickens, fruit and veg.

Step 3) Pop the pink Gordo near the ranch entrance and take the slime key.

Step 4) Head out to the indigo quarry picking up as much veg as you can on the way and feed it to the Rock Gordo in the caves.

Step 5) Proceed through the quarry and suck up all the Crystal and Rad slimes you can as well as a few Oca Oca as well as any other veg.

Step 6) Warp back to the ranch and put all your slimes in the corral. Feed the Oca Oca to the Rad slimes but keep one back. Feed the other veg to any slime thats hungry.

Step 7) Suck up enough plorts to buy a farm and grow Oca Oca.

Step 8) Go back to the quarry and try to pop the Rock Gordo. Pick up more Rad and Crystal slimes and as many Oca Oca as you can.

Step 9) Remove harvest from farm and plant again. It grows faster. Use the veg you have gained to feed the slimes in your corral whenever they are hungry.

Step 10) Use the plorts you gain to buy high walls and a plort collector as it’s dangerous without them as well as upgrade your farm to make the crops grow faster.

Step 11) Buy another corral and farm then repeat the process.

Step 12) Buy the grotto to gain access to the quarry warp.

Step 13) Repeat the process as many times as you wish. Collecting slimes, building farms and corrals.

Using the above strategy I gained 50K before midnight on day three and only had 4 corrals and 4 farms. I imagine you can get a lot more if you want to challenge yourself.

I hope this helps, stay wiggly.

Seems like this is out of date now, cause you can't buy jetpack from the start?

Even though I missed an entire day by falling in the water due to an empty jetpack (with a full inventory, including a gold plort), I had enough money at the end of the 4th day. Ended up hanging out at the farm on the last day and had 78.000 newbucks.

The first health upgrade saved my life. The sprint boots were also pretty nice.

Worked :) Got it around Midnight on Day 4 then just slept the rest of the time away!

I’m glad my guide helped. I thought that part was very daunting so wanted to help. :butterfly:

Yeah those slimes can be tricky and very painful when they hit

The one thing I'd like to add is that it's a good idea to buy health after you get your first bunch of Rad and Crystal slimes. The Boom and Crystal largos in the cave can easily knock you out if you have the minimum amount of health while you're trying to gather Crystal slimes.

Other than that, this is a solid guide that allowed me to easily get 50K+ by Day 4 of the rush.

Well good luck getting your 5 day achievements. Like I say in the guide this is pretty easy and leaves lots of time to spare. I just went into my house and slept to finish it faster
