With this new release I've decided to run through a few more of the achievements, and it seems that planting a Phase Tree doesn't count towards Fruit Salad. Is this an oversight or intentional?

Good catch! We'll fix it in a future update.

There is a discussion on the sub reddit for SlimeRancher (on https://www.reddit.com/r/slimerancher/ if you want to read more about it. :)

It says in the slimepedia for how to grow the phase lemons, but I think it's a bit unfair since you basically either have to look up how to grow the lemons or find them in a crate if you are lucky

I agree! Maybe a hint in the slimepedia for Quantum Slimes themselves or in the Ancient Ruins entry instead?

As for finding crates, still not finding any in the Ruins area... :(

I attached a pic. The menu doesn't have labels.
Actually, now that I'm playing there is a box flashing between 1 and 2, and the escape menu also doesn't have labels.

This happened to me before. If you follow these steps it will work again!

1. Uninstall the game from your PC
2. Redownload the installer from Humble/Steam
3. intall the game.
4. Run the game

I'm running into a serious bug. Whenever I go to vac things, the items don't register in the slots on my screen. I've tried both starting a new game and re-installing it, but no dice.

Edit: Nevermind. Restarting the game again fixed that.

A complete uninstall, and reinstall, fixed it. Sorry I should've done that first. I loaded and saved my 4.1 game, and the main menu is now correct with continue!

You could cover a gordo in one and then pop it. It would be like using a 3d stencil!

I think so, the area description does mention that they never seem to stay in one space...

Also, would someone please make an in-game fix to the freaking Quantum Slimes escaping their corrals? They're even less controllable than the Boom Slimes! They can't even be left alone!

for all of those who has trouble with the Phase lemons, you gotta shoot a fruit at the tree when the lemons are there

So, there is an achievement for putting a Tarr on the Slime Stage...

But there isn't an achievement for putting a Gold slime on the Slime Stage?

I seem to have little to no trouble keeping my Quantum Hunter Largos. It seems the Hunter's ability to disappear keeps the Quantum abilities from getting out of hand, so that if they are fed and happy, then they stay in the corral...I have left the main ranch area, though for not very long.

Though it does take some getting used to the ghosting :)

Also, happy that there is another use for Pogo fruits :)

as worthless as that garbled mess of w/e language that spam is, i will say that that's a very pretty room lol. back on topic though, i think taking care of largos is a lot easier for quantums in corrals. accessories don't appear on ghosts so you can tell when a real one is out, but will obviously disappear when you suck them up. they need to be largo so you can pick them up without losing the accessory. i plan to just free-range them in the grotto for now though since it's enclosed. i may try properly corraling them later once the new expansion is out, but i'm gonna need a lot of extra plots for food. as much as i'd love to give them the vip treatment with their favorite food, i can't risk a late harvest with the phase lemons. i think my best bet is to have a pogo tree for proper feeding, and and extra one paired with a phase lemon tree as a treat for when i'm able to actually harvest them... i swear by my honor as a fropessional rancher, I WILL FIND A WAY TO EFFICIENT QUANTUM SLIMES!!

Just keep your Quantums happy and they won't translocate.

So far I am managing to get by using pogo fruits harvested from around the Dry Reef and the Over Growth with one Phase Lemon tree (it yields 20 fruits per harvest). I had only one spot left and am considering getting rid of one of 3 ponds that contains Puddle slimes....but I really don't want to until I get the refinery full of Puddle plorts first.
