Yolky Slime Spawn Locations In Slime Rancher 2

A Yolky Sime near a chicken nest

Yolky Slimes can spawn at any wild chicken nest in the game and are not biome-locked. However, they are quite rare. As with most slimes, they have a chance to spawn the first time a player walks near a spawn point each day. This means that perceptive players will often see them popping out of the nest as they pass. The spawn rate of a Yolky Slime is not impacted by whether the nest has chickens or not.

For the highest likelihood of getting a Yolky Slime spawn, it is advised to walk past several nests on a daily basis. Some players have devised farming routes for this purpose (try it out after unlocking the Jetpack for the best results). In addition, players may want to occasionally thin out slime numbers (either through natural tarr spawns or by throwing them into the Slime Sea) to ensure the zone spawns new slimes.

Yolky Slime Audio Cues

Yolky Slimes produce a high-pitched whine of several intonations when bumping into objects or idling. Unlike other rare slimes, the audio cue for Yolky Slimes is not very noticeable, similar to the Ringtail Slime. This means that looking visually at each chicken nest is a more reliable way of finding them than audio alone.

How To Keep A Yolky Slime On Your Ranch

Once a Yolky Slime has been brought to the Conservatory, they will not despawn. Yolky Slimes, similar to Fire Slimes and Puddle Slimes, have no diet and no favorite food. However, they will not produce plorts from thin air either. To prompt plort spawns, players must house their Yolky Slime in an uncrowded chicken coop (1 hen and 1 rooster).

Then, the Hen will occasionally lay a giant egg filled with Yolky Plorts and Chickadees. However, the egg must be broken within three in-game hours of its spawn to receive the plorts. Older eggs will "spoil", resulting in only the Chickadees.
