How to Automate the Conservatory in Slime Rancher 2 by Completing and Solving

Select Language:

There’s a lot to do in Slime Rancher 2, and fitting everything into your schedule can be overwhelming—especially when you’d rather be exploring Rainbow Island or the Grey Labyrinth for new materials. Luckily, there’s a way to make your slime ranching easier without adding much extra work.

Here’s how to find and unlock the Quantum Drones, which serve as your personal helpers on the ranch. We’ll cover their skills and how they can assist you in managing your ranch more efficiently. Everything you need to know about Quantum Drones and what they can do for your slime ranch!

### How to Unlock Quantum Drones

Before crafting your first Quantum Drone, you need to locate a Quantum Drone Station. These stations are only available after interacting with Ghostly Drone phantoms flying around the island. You’ll need to follow their trail until they materialize, then open them up to gain the station.

Each of the Conservatory expansions has one of these drones, along with extra drones in Rainbow Fields near the Cotton Slime Gordo and other regions. These drones provide a station that allows you to create an additional drone for your ranch.

You can also buy Drone Stations from Polestar Provisions, but they cost 20,000 and 100,000 Newbucks, respectively.

To craft a Quantum Drone Station, gather these materials:
– 100 Flutter Plorts
– 15 Lava Dust
– 15 Wild Honey
– 3 Strange Diamonds
– 1 Quantum Drone Station

### How to Use Quantum Drones

Once you craft the Drone Station, open the editing menu to place it anywhere on Rainbow Island. You can then use the Quantum Drone to search for resources or automate tasks around your ranch.

It’s best to keep drones at your ranch to ensure a steady supply of plorts, which can be stored or sold. You can also set drones to gather and feed slimes. They can collect plorts from automated corrals and deposit them into a silo, the Refinery, or the market.

Drones can also gather food for your slimes while you’re away, preventing them from getting agitated. If you have trouble finding enough food for your picky slimes, you can even set a drone to collect special items like Moondew Nectar from the wild.

Items collected by the drones are stored in the Quantum Cloud, which can hold thousands of items. You’ll need to withdraw items from the cloud to access them.

You can also send drones to gather resources such as hive products, spouts, and minerals. Remember to check on their inventory regularly so you can empty it and claim your resources for crafting or sale.

While working, drones will drain their battery. They need to return to the station to recharge, which is done by firing different types of Plorts into a receptacle on the drone station. Rarer Plorts give a higher recharge percentage, so using valuable Plorts will keep your drones operating longer.
