Why no set for PC? We exist too!

I kinda agree. Even though PC has a lot of advantages, it would still be nice to have a version of the DLC being released to console.

I’m sorry :( Not one to complain about extra goodies but man I hate platform exclusive content in general. It’s really just locking a section of your fan base away from content they would enjoy, for no good reason. Not only the poor PC players who seem to have nothing at all, but also what about PS4 players who might desperately want the pirate stuff, or Xbox players who would far prefer the knight stuff? I’m not a fan, and hope it’s not something they are going to do on a regular basis.

Technically it's not a big deal. If it were a new slime or a zone, I would understand, but decorations?

While I agree with you, I want the slimes fighting too, it's not enough to make me feel robbed. These DLC updates are for the retail release of the game (which right now is only for consoles as I understand it), which explains why the DLC is console only, but I'm hopeful that something will be released as DLC for PC as well.

Yeah, they're planning something for it too. For now, they want to promote the physical launch stuff.

I'm with Smudgedhorizon here. I absolutly hate console exclusive content. I jumped on early and I feel punished for it. "Oh you think this Knight cosmetic is absolutly adorable? Too bad you bought it on Steam 2 years ago. You should have foreseen that we might do a console exclusive you would have wanted way down the line."

Console exclusives are unhealthy to a game. It hurts your image in a portion of dedicated fans eyes, it fragments your game so players can't have the whole experience... ever, and it's completly arbitrary.

It's sad because it heavily dissapoints me. It's the first thing about Slime Rancher I can straight up say I don't like, and I've played the game for over 2 years.

NOTE: According to Karkob, we’re going to get something special down the line.

Don't be mad, it's only a decoration.
On PC you have mod Support, you will never have this on Consoles.

Another thing! You people could just get the console editions.

Right, let me just go buy two consoles for a decoration in a game I've already completed.

I'm still waiting for any update on it coming to Play Anywhere too, personally

First of all, all console gets as exclusive is a small costume and a color. Not that big of a deal

Second, if you want them that bad, well then you have mods for that.

Problem solved.

Green is my favorite color, I shouldn't be locked out of my favorite color because I don't want to buy a $300+ console with the game.

Mods are not easily implemented as far as I know, it takes a great deal of effort to implement them into a game like this, and even then I doubt people will be able to get the emerald and sapphire chromas + the treasure chest and monster toys + the costumes, to even implement them.

Problem not solved. Exclusives are dumb, annoying and generally toxic to have.

About half this post is accurate, the other half is based on some false numbers. The mods are generally easy to add, the creation difficulty is another story. A mod like this would need 2 things, a code edit and an assets edit. That may be annkying to install at first having 2 things to install, but relatively simple once you account for automatic installation.

The hardest part is getting the assets which you are correct on. They aren't exactly easy, although if patient one could try recreating them using appropriate programs. The chroma packs are the easiest there I would think (asset mods I'm newer to doing.)

If I remember correctly, they ARE adding in exclusive DLC content to the Steam version as well. Maybe they just wanted to focus solely on the Xbox and Playstation version at that time since it is so new. Perhaps it is harder for Monomi Park to do something like DLC Content on Xbox and Playstation so they did that first?

Noted earlier exactly what you said and also states facts from a quote which this post only speculates.

The Xbox and ps4 dlcs were a celebration for the retail release, something pc wasnt getting. With no reason to celebrate at the time, pc wasn't celebrating.

That would be pretty cool. I was going to ask for someone to do this, but I decided against it.

Well the announcement for the pc dlc details released. We are getting VR...

Edit: got corrected on the steam forums by the devs. This isnt the one they said was coming out when the ps4 Xbox one were announced

PC has modding, just an FYI.

That alone I feel more than justifies giving Console-specific DLC. Bit annoying for grabbing screenshots though.
