The Slime Rancher franchise is known for everything from its beautiful world filled with colorful environments to the wide variety of Slimes that can be bred and nurtured. However, one aspect of the game that can be easily overlooked is its wonderful traversal. Though players cannot reach every nook and cranny of the map from the start, they can quickly improve traversability through equipment upgrades, such as the Dash Boots.

Players can get an early start on crafting upgrades like the Dash Boots since upgrading in Slime Rancher 2 is available in a laboratory within the player’s home base, The Conservatory.
