− | Three useful items can added inside the hutch: Pathway blockers, sprinklers, and flooring. First, arranging [[Crafting#Fences|fences]], statues, or other pathway blockers will isolate the Slimes, making the building safer to enter. The trapped Slimes will still be able to reproduce, and their offspring will also be in isolation; this also applies to the [[Slime Incubator]]. Slimes do not physically need to reach the water source, so enclosing them anywhere will do. Note that fencing will still decay as usual. Second, [[Crafting#Sprinklers|sprinklers]] can be used to automatically water troughs. Sprinklers inside the Slime Hutch work on any farm, including the [[Farm Maps#Beach|Beach Farm]]. Third, [[Slime Ball]]s cannot spawn on top of [[Crafting#Decor|crafted flooring]], so it can be used to choose where Slime Balls spawn. | + | Three useful items can be placed inside the hutch: Pathway blockers, sprinklers, and crafted flooring.
