Slime Hutch

Robin builds a slime hutch in two days for 10,000g, 500 stone, 10 refined quartz, and 1 iridium bar. It holds 20 slimes. In 1.6 the footprint is 7 by 4. Before 1.6 it was 11 by 6.

After the build, Marlon visits with a slime egg. Slime eggs start dropping from slimes only once a hutch has been built, and they keep dropping even if the hutch is later demolished. The hutch needs at least 5 slimes before slime balls appear.

Four water troughs have to be filled, with a watering can or with sprinklers. Sprinklers inside the hutch work on every farm, including the Beach Farm. Slimes in the hutch attack. The Slime Charmer Ring blocks that damage and the debuffs. Hutch slimes give no Combat experience and do not count for Monster Eradication goals.

A witch can turn the slimes black. A Wicked Statue inside stops that. The floor can be changed. Slime balls do not appear on crafted flooring. The starter incubator can be picked up. The interior is 16 by 8, 128 tiles, with 6 of those occupied, and one more blocked by the incubator until it is removed.
