Requirements

Installation

• Install Melon Loader for Slime Rancher 2 if you have not already done so.
• Download the latest version of the mod
• Extract MoreYolkySlimes.dll from the zip file.
• Copy MoreYolkySlimes.dll to the Mods folder in your Slime Rancher 2 install folder (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Slime Rancher 2\Mods)
  

Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with all others.
This mod supports Slime Rancher 2 v 0.4.1

Configuration
The spawn chance is configurable in MelonPreferences.cfg (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Slime Rancher 2\UserData\MelonPreferences.cfg). The setting must be a valid number between 0.0 and 1.0.
The game's default setting is 0.004, and this mod defaults to 0.05.

I don't know precisely how spawn rates are calculated, but it appears to be a percent chance every 12 in-game hours.

If you set this to 1.0, every nest that can spawn Yolky Slimes will spawn one Yolky Slime every time you get near them
once per in-game 12 hours.

If you set this to 0.0, Yolky Slime spawn chances will be extremely rare. There are some other spawn chance mechanics which may still result in
Yolky Slimes spawning outside of what this mod touches. Entirely disabling the spawn chance of Yolky Slimes is not implemented in
this mod, but at 0.0 the spawn rate will be so small that it will seem like they are disabled.

At 0.05, I caught 3 Yolky Slimes doing a quick run through all the areas in about 30 minutes real time. At 0.75, they were popping out of almost every nest I passed by.

• Launch the game once with the mod installed and then exit the game to pre-populate the configuration.
• Open MelonPreferences.cfg in the text editor of your choice (e.g. Notepad.exe)
• Locate the [MoreYolkySlimes] section
• Change the YolkySpawnChance setting to a valid float between 0.0 and 1.0.
  

Example configuration:

[MoreYolkySlimes]
# Percent chance (as a decimal: '5%' is '0.05') that Yolky Slimes will spawn from nests. Game default is 0.004.
Mod default is 0.05
YolkySpawnChance = 0.05

Please note that the number in your config file may change automatically from 0.05 to something like 0.05000000074505806. This is part of how floating point variables work and is expected behavior. You do not need to change it back to a simpler decimal number.

Any value above 1.0 will be treated as 1.0. Any value below 0.0 (e.g. -1.0) will be treated as 0.0.

Settings for this mod are compatible with other mods that can modify Melon Preferences in-game (e.g. MelonPreferencesManager).
