Build the Slime Hutch and use Slimes to make money easily in Stardew Valley.
If you have read our all-animals guide, you must have been wondering about the Stardew Valley Slime Hutch. While slimes cannot be exactly considered animals, they are available for raising like others, so it’s better to put this fictional creature in that category. Like Coop animals, we hatch them from the egg, and they give a product that is used to obtain a saleable item.
It is much more work to set up, hatch, raise, and get the item from the slimes than others on the farm. Now since you have made your way here, you don’t need to worry about those. We have provided answers to everything you need to know and do with this building.
There are no prior requirements to unlock the Slime Hutch, you have to order it from Robin using money and items. You will find Robin in the Carpenter’s Shop from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The shop is in the northeastern part of Pelican Town. You need these things to make the order:
The construction will complete in two days and you will have to use the 11×6 tiles for the building. It can hold up to 20 slimes. After buying, Marlon will visit you and provide you with your first Slime Egg.
Once you have five Slimes in the Slime Hatch they will start producing Slime Balls. These balls cannot be sold, but you get Petrified Slime or multiple Slime items by right-clicking on them. Placing 100 slime into Slime Egg-Press will give you random color Slime Eggs. Those can be sold for thousands of gold depending on the rarity (color):
To hatch the eggs, you need a Slime Incubator. You unlock its recipe at level 8 of the Combat, it needs 2 Iridium Bar and 100 Slime for crafting. The incubation will take almost 3 days to complete (4000 minutes). With the Coopmaster Profession, you can speed up the process.
That’s all for the Stardew Valley Slime Hutch guide. For more topics like this, you should check our SDV section. We have covered topics like Elliott Heart Events and the Annual Trout Derby.
