Odd Onion

Odd Onion

Odd Onions can only grow in the Indigo Quarry; however, you'll never encounter an Odd Onion patch. Instead, Odd Onions can be found randomly in other veggie patches. As the saying goes 'Forage into the Indigo Quarry and you'll always find the Odd Onion in your haul.'

Deposit an Odd Onion into a garden's depositor and strangely, carrots will begin to grow. However, there is a good chance you'll get some odd onions in your crop as well.

Where to find

Tips

  • Carrots grown in a garden won’t turn into Odd Onions; you must plant Odd Onions directly to see them appear.
  • Odd Onions are rare and only grow in small amounts, so they're not the best standalone crop. Instead, they work well for creating Crystal Slime Largos when paired with an easier-to-grow favorite food.
  • The same farming trick applies with Meat—pairing it with a favored type makes it much more effective.

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.
