Elder Roostro

Type: Meat
Elder Roostro

Elder roostros are the senior-aged roostros who have retired from the otherwise bustling life of their younger counterparts. 'Young roostros crow too much, they move too fast, and frankly have no respect for their elders,' an elder roostro might say of youths; as they make a gross, smacking sound with their lips. Though this is of course impossible, as roostros do not have lips.

An elder roostro can no longer sire chickadoos and serves no other purpose than becoming a slightly tough chicken dinner.

Where to find

  • Converts from Roostros, doesn't spawn naturally

Tips

  • Elder Roostros can still be fed to meat-eating slimes, though no slime favors them.
  • They appear naturally as Roostros age, so they don’t spawn on their own in the wild.
  • Since they no longer help in reproduction, it’s wise to replace them with younger Roostros quickly.

Why foods matter

In Slime Rancher 2, food plays a vital role in ranching, as feeding slimes the right diet produces valuable plorts and keeps them happy. Slime food is divided into three main categories: fruits, vegetables, and meat, with each slime species having specific preferences and even a favorite food that doubles plort production. Common options include Pogofruit, Carrots, and Hen Hens, while rare foods like Water Lettuce, Cuberries, Heart Beets, and Sea Hens are highly sought after for maximizing slime efficiency. Farming food in gardens and coops is essential for maintaining a steady supply, and strategic feeding ensures higher yields, better plort profits, and overall ranch stability. Mastering food collection, farming, and feeding is key to thriving on Rainbow Island.
