Challenge runs

Postby Purplecharmanderz » Fri Jan 26, 2018 2:14 pm

lately to keep things interesting i have been doing a few challenge runs, mostly no damage runs, and figured i would put a discussion here. so a list of a few types of challenge runs i've done so far are as follows:
- no damage runs (delete the world upon taking damage)
- restricted access runs (cant bring slimes onto the ranch from the range, but you can bring plorts)

if you have ideas for challenge runs feel free to share them, or feel free to try some of these ones out.

Here's some:

Nightly run:

Only leave the ranch at night

If it turns to day and you're not on the ranch you lose.

It ends when you reach the end of the glass desert

No upgrade challenge:

You cannot buy any upgrades (including the slime key)

You must get to the end of the glass desert to win

10 plort challenge

You must store 10 of every plort in a silo to win
Quantum tangles are the hardest slimes to ranch.

But who can say no to that cute little face?

Farm Farm Range: You can bring slimes onto your ranch, but can't grow any food there. All food you feed, whether it's veggies, fruit, or meat, must be wild-found. The chickens that pop up in the Overgrowth are fair game for use. You can have one pond of Puddle slimes, but everything else, including Fire slimes, has to be fed food you've gotten elsewhere.

Free Range Meats: All slimes must be fed only meat, which you have to go and find. You can make largos, but you can't feed fruits or veggies to anything. You can bring Chickadoos back to the Ranch to grow them up, but they have to be kept wild in the Overgrowth, and you must harvest and feed off any fully grown ones you spot. If you keep Fire slimes, they have to be fed meat. Again, one pond of Puddle slimes is OK.

For both, reach either 7Z level 28 or have 999 of each plort (excluding Puddle and Gold) in the Refinery. Hard mode: 7Z level 28 AND 999 of each plort, including Puddle, plus at least 1 Gold plort.

One Of A Kind: Easy mode is Casual, hard mode is Adventure. You can only have 1 of each type of slime. Different largos count as different combinations. If you end up with a duplicate, chuck it away.

Broken Builders: You can't build anything on plots. Keep the one corral you start with. Easy mode: you can build and upgrade one thing to your liking. Pick your goal.

Broken Builders, Ultimate: You can't build anything at all, gadgets or plots. You keep your one corral. Easy mode: you can build and upgrade one plot thing and place one gadget. Make as many gadgets as you want, but you can't place more than one. Decor is OK.

Fear Of Heights: Reach 7Z level 28 and/or 999 of each non-Gold plort without buying the Jetpack or any of its upgrades. Hope you're good at parkour.

I’m thinking back on my post, the “no ranch challenge” seems fun to try out sometime. Leave the ranch as you spawn in, gather naturally grown food, feed the gordos to get get keys, and reach the end without dieing or going back to your ranch.

A true outdoor adventure.

Don't Touch the Ground: It's all in the name, buy the jetpack and reach the end of the Glass Desert without touching the ground!

EDIT:You can touch the ground until you buy the jetpack.

P.S. the ground in the warp stations in the Ruins and the Glass Desert don't count.

quite difficult, not sure if it is even possible without mods.

Here's a trick, grab a Largo, jump, look down, let go of the largo, and jump again when you let go. You will get what I like to call:


THE LARGO DOUBLE JUMP!!!

fair enough, although may still have issues, making it to the quarry if i recall without a key means youll lose your largo which can end that run instantly, unless you managed to save the largo and not run out of energy. either way you go making it to the ruins and through them is going to be a pain, especially if you account for the fact that the warp terminal is locked behind a slime gate

Didn't I say that the ground in the terminal doesn't count?

Yeah, but the terminal is behind the gate...

Bare Minimum Challenge: Don't get anything more than you need. Only get money if you are saving up for things, only buy plots if you must, don't get any Ranch Expansions, only burst Gordos if you need to, and only unlock slime gates if they bring you closer to the Desert.

some of that could be seen as up to interpretation on what is "needed" but interesting idea

(not sure if this counts as a necro but here goes)
Pretty in pink
-you can only bring pink slimes/plorts onto your ranch, and no pink/anything largoes either, pure pink, food items are okay though.
-you must obtain every ranch expansion, including the retreat, and when added, mochi's area.
-you must get 999 pink plorts into the refinery.
-at the end, you must have every slot on the ranch be a fully upgraded silo.
-each silo must be fully filled with pink plorts.
-god help those patient enough to get this.
We always need more crystal slimes. ALWAYS.

We're hoping the new rush mode gives challenge runners a lot to chew on. We've added a few new wrinkles that we think allow for a range of strategies. It's pretty fun :)

With you there, still doesn’t hurt to have a few other ideas for challenges though.
