First of all, I've been wondering, has anyone managed to get the Hat trick achievement? It seems impossible to get.
I am going to post here some "data" I've found about Gold Slimes, and potential tricks to find them more easily.
Here's what I've noticed so far: gold slimes can spawn at any day or time of the day.
Gold slimes can spawn more than once in the same day.
Gold slimes spawn in replacement for a usual slime spawn.
Triggering continuous slime spawn doesn't seem to cause Gold slime spawn (e.g. first room outside the ranch, continuously vacuum and spit pink slimes in the water)
Gold slimes will flee if fed or if you enter their eyesight.
Gold slimes cannot be vacuumed, but you can draw them to you, and they won't be able to flee.
Gold slimes can eat anything that isn't a slime (or chikadoo)
Gold slimes can spawn from boxes.
Gold slimes can eat gold plorts, will produce another gold plort.
Gold slimes can jump very, very far.
After jumping far away, gold slimes disappear. Poof!
What I've been trying to get the Hat trick achievement so far is when I find one, to suck it towards me while shooting resources at it, supposedly to get it to eat more than once, although it won't work due to the resources being thrown getting sucked right back.
So how to find gold slimes?
Well before getting there, do make sure to have access to all areas of the game, it'll make searching easier.
What I do is I run through all maps (takes about 2 minutes when fully upgraded) trying to see as much slime spawns as possible, and teleport back to the ranch. Go to sleep for the rest of the day, rinse and repeat. I get a gold slime about every 8-10 minutes this way.
Any suggestions?
