hello everyone, since the last tutorial I posted wasn't understood by most players, I am going to write a new, improved tutorial that should(hopefully) help everyone who is having issues!
Let's begin! :D

step one:
press ctrl+alt+t to bring up a terminal window.

Step two:
type in the command:
Code: Select all
gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop

Keep that window open!

step three:
open up your preferred file manager/browser and navigate to ~/.config/unity3d/Monomi Park/Slime Rancher

Note: a file with a . in front of its name is a hidden file, press ctrl+h in your file manager to make them visible.

Step four:
Right click the file and click the "Copy" button, we need the path to it

Step five:
go to the create launcher window and type in
Code: Select all
sh -c "rm

and paste in the file path, before every space add a \Image For reference:

Step six:
go to the end of the line and type in
Code: Select all
 ; steam steam://rungameid/433340 "


Step seven:
Enter a name for the launcher, i named it "Slime Rancher" :D

step eight:
click the box in the top left and navigate to /home/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Slime Rancher/SlimeRancher_Data/Resources/UnityPlayer.png
select it and you should have a smiling pink slime for the background :D
Image for reference:

step nine:
now simply press "OK" and the new launcher should be on your desktop

Have fun! I hope this has helped, if not feel free to PM me and ill try to help you
