Quantum Slime
Quantum Slimes are barely bound to reality, and as such, the simple walls of a Sime Corral will not hold it if they are agitated. If you can keep them fed and happy, they will not swap places with their ghosts. If you wish to keep the slime in your ranch, I reccomend you put them in a seperate area from all of the other slimes, such as the Overgrowth, or the Grotto. As tedious as it may be, it is safe to your ranch and removes the risk of them getting into the corrals of your other slimes. I reccomend setting up fruit trees near the area they live and not putting up a scareslime on them, as you can go pick up fruit and plots at your leisure.

By themselves, Quantum slimes cannot cause harm, but when they are a largo, they are as risky as the slime of the plort they eat.

Phase Lemon
Phase Lemons are strange. The only way to get them is to wait for a phase lemon tree to have the lemons be big and ripe, then you must shoot a fruit into the tree. Think of it as a trade of fruit. Phase lemons are not going to be very profitable on your ranch, but if you wish to get a large amount of quantom plorts, then they may be worth the hassle.

Even if they are planted on your ranch, you need to shoot fruit into it to get fruit from the phase lemon trees.

According to the Slimepedia, Phase Lemon Trees last several harvests.
What are Echos?
Echos do nothing. I only added this section to help people avoid confusion. The echoes stay wherever you shoot them, even in midair. They are glowing balls that can be used as decorations in your ranch.

Everything you want to know... except where to get them, or how to get to the area where they are.

You can make a machine that captures echoes at the temple. I reccomend making a teleporter near the ruins.

And the Glass Desert update was better. I made a guide for it, and hsowing how to get there.

Can you make echoes or only find them at the temple? Are these three things the ONLY new content at the temple? What a disappointment
