Shoot slimes at each other? Feed the slimes more easily?
I can kinda imagine a co-op farm where one person runs around feeding and maintaining the farm while another goes hunting for slimes, or maybe having a friend help you get to a secret area you can't find your own way into, but all in all there just doesn't seem to be all that much content in Slime Rancher that would benefit from having other people with you.
Only thing I could see as a benefit is not having to reinvent the wheel should they decide to do it. The game would need an entire play format set aside just for it, which could pretty much stand as its own game at that point. Easier to add an update and use existing assets than trying to upload all the assets to a new game as well. Takes less time and can be coded as a new game mode, but that still would need to pretty much make a whole new game within it, which I could see more benefit in making a new game if you care to ignore the tedious aspects.
