There are many ways to optimize material gains inStardew Valley, and one fan has come up with one of the best ways to set up a slime hutch. Slimes are among the extensiveStardew Valleybestiary, and due to the fact that they drop an important material of the same name, many players look for the optimal way to farm them. Luckily, this fan may have the answer.
Among the many potentially dangerous creatures thatStardew Valleyplayers will encounter are Slimes that litter much of the landscape outside of the central areas. Slimes are one of the first things that players will encounter, and the slime material that they drop can be used in severalStardew Valleyrecipes, given to villagers as a gift, and can expand the capacity of a Slimejack pond. Because of all these potential benefits, some players prefer to farm the creatures rather than go out into the field to find and defeat them, with thisStardew Valleyslime hutchfrom a TikTok user potentially the best method.

TikTok user Lanecelottv has created a video that illustrates their idealStardew Valleyslime hutch which utilizes fences, tiles, sprinklers, troughs, and egg incubators to streamline the acquisition of slime balls. With the slimes fenced off on a tiled floor portion of the room on the other side of the aforementioned troughs and iridium sprinklers, the slime item automatically spawns away from the slimes because of the limited ground space available in the hutch. The troughs and sprinklers ensure that this process is fairly automatic like withotherStardew Valleyfarms, but players will still need to gather the items over time so that they don’t completely run out of floor space.
Lanecelottv’sStardew Valleyclip shows the fan accumulating around ten different slime balls to collect in what seems to be about a day of waiting, highlighting the trick’s potential. Players may use differentStardew Valleysprinklerswith their hutches than the one used by Lanecelottv, but changes to the formula may result in some less lucrative results than the ones seen by Lanecelottv. It’s currently unclear just how quickly slime will stack using the trick highlighted by Lanecelottv, but their hutch keeps the material passively increasing as a player goes about their daily chores, activities, and socializing.
Beyond crafting and gifting, players can also use slime withStardew Valley’s Slimejack fish pond questor give to various fish in the same quest to expand the pond’s capacity, making slime even more important for fans of fishing. This isn’t the only game in which players can block things off to make other items more accessible, asAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsplayers have also used this technique to choose where rocks and other objects spawn overnight.
