Slime Rancher Setup Guide

Requirements

1. Install .NET 6.0.
2. Download and install Melon Loader. Use Melon Loader version 7.1, not 7.2.

The default Steam installation directory is C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Slime Rancher.

Install Slimipelago

1. Launch Slime Rancher once, then close it to finish the Melon Loader installation. If this does not complete correctly, antivirus or anti-malware software may be interfering.
2. Download and extract Slimipelago.zip from the latest Slimipelago release.
3. Copy the extracted Mods and UserLibs folders into the Slime Rancher game directory.
4. Confirm that the mod DLL is at Slime Rancher/Mods/Slimipelago.dll.
5. Launch the game again. The usual New Game and Load Game options should no longer appear; instead, an Archipelago connection menu is available in the options.

If Melon Loader works but the mod does not load, check that the mod folder is not named ~SW_CreeperKing.Slimipelago. Remove the leading ~ if it is present. This mod will most likely not work with SRModLoader.

Connect and play

Use the Archipelago connection menu in the game's options. You cannot create or load a save before connecting, and only saves created with the same seed are shown.

Uninstall

Remove the Mods/SW_CreeperKing.Slimipelago folder.
