The Rush Plort Master achievement in Slime Rancher is one of the most challenging in the game. It demands that you reach 75,000 Newbucks in Rush Mode—a special time-limited mode where every second matters and optimization is the name of the game. With less than 2% of players earning it on Steam, it’s a true badge of slime-ranching efficiency. This guide lays out a complete day-by-day breakdown of how to do it successfully, blending time management, farming strategy, and precise slime plort routing.

Understanding the Challenge

Rush Mode compresses the entire ranching experience into a handful of fast-paced days. The biggest constraints are time and income. Your three main sources of income will be:

1. Golden Gordos and Gold Slimes – Feed them Gilded Gingers and rapidly harvest gold plorts.
2. Plort Completion Bonuses – For every slime type from which you sell 25 plorts, you earn a bonus multiplier to your final total.
3. High-Value Slime Ranching – Ranch only the most profitable slimes to maximize returns without wasting time.

Completing daily missions at the Ranch Exchange is absolutely vital. They add time to your Rush Mode and reward you with Gilded Gingers, which are key to bursting Golden Gordos. Now let’s break down what to do each day.

---

Day 1: Setup, Keys, and First Golden Gordo

• Start Fast: Accept your first Ranch Exchange mission immediately. It’s usually easy and solvable using resources from the Dry Reef.
• Place Teleporters: Drop all three teleporters at the Ranch Exchange for quick access to major zones.
• Gather Food: While doing a loop through the Dry Reef, gather at least 30 fruit and 20 other food types.
• Burst the Pink Gordo (20 veggies) to get a Slime Key.
• Burst the Phosphor Gordo (30 fruit or fewer if using Q-Berries) to get another key.
• Complete the Ranch Exchange Mission: Earn 6 Gilded Gingers and extend your timer.
• Setup Storage: Build a Silo and store 3 of the Gilded Gingers.
• First Golden Gordo: Located near the Dry Reef entrance—feed it 3 Gilded Gingers and use remaining food to hit as many Gold Slimes as possible.
• Sell Plorts: Either use your Market Link or return to the ranch.

Day 1 (cont.): Moss Blanket and Water Slimes

• Moss Blanket Entry Skip: Use a jetpack to bypass the Slime Gate.
• Place Teleporter in the Blanket for future trips.
• Grab Water Slimes and any existing water plorts.
• Setup a Pond in The Grotto and house your water slimes.
• Store Remaining Gilded Gingers.

---

Day 1 End: Rush to the Ruins

• Collect 30 fruit and 30 misc. food while moving through the Moss Blanket.
• Burst the Golden Gordo in the Ancient Ruins using Gilded Gingers. Hit Gold Slimes with remaining food.
• Sell Gold Plorts Immediately.
• Pick Up Rock Plorts (3 total) en route.

Day 2: Entry to Glass Desert and Advanced Setup

• Burst the Dervish Gordo (fruits) at the Glass Desert entrance to earn a key.
• Enter Second Area of the Desert, burst the Tangle Gordo (meat), and collect Tangle Slimes.
• Ancient Water Activation: Use rock plorts to activate. Use water to create oases for passive plort generation.
• Farm Dervish, Mosaic, and Tangle Slimes from nearby zones.
• Fire Slime Opportunity: During firestorms, gather fire slimes.
• Return to Ranch:
  • Setup Incinerator and Ash Pit for fire slimes.
  • Add two drones to The Grotto: one to deliver ash to feeders, another to collect and sell plorts.
  • Retrieve your final 3 Gilded Gingers from the silo.

---

Day 2 Midday: Ranch Expansion

• Accept and Complete Ranch Exchange for timer extension and more Gilded Gingers.
• Setup Four Corrals in the main ranch for:
  • Two pens for Dervish + Mosaic slimes.
  • Two pens for Dervish + Tangle slimes.
• Install Four Fully Upgraded Prickly Pear Gardens.
• Add Two More Drones to handle feeding and plort collection.
• Optional: Convert expansion areas to additional Prickly Pear gardens.

---

Days 3–4: Maintenance and Plort Completion Bonuses

• Daily Priority: Ranch Exchange mission completion (adds 12 hours and 6 more Gilded Gingers).
• Check Drones: Refuel and collect stray plorts.
• Farm Plorts for Completion Bonus:
  • Sell 25 plorts from as many slime types as possible.
  • Prioritize:
    1. Pink
    2. Phosphor (only at night)
    3. Rock
    4. Tabby
    5. Boom
    6. Rad
    7. Quantum (optional)
    8. Honey
    9. Crystal
    10. Hunter (optional)
    11. Water, Fire, and Gold (passive farms)

---

Day 5: Final Gold Rush

• Retrieve 18 Gilded Gingers from storage.
• Head to Ring Island via Overgrowth and burst:
  • Three Golden Gordos.
  • Gun down Gold Slimes and collect plorts.
• Then head to Ash Island via Indigo Quarry:
  • Pop another three Golden Gordos and collect all plorts.
• Use Market Link to sell plorts quickly.

If time allows:

• Farm additional plorts.
• Finish any remaining plort bonuses.

Final Notes

• Keep Up the Pace: This is a fast-paced mode—don’t lose track of time.
• Balance Ranching and Exploration: Passive income is critical. Let your Corrals and drones work while you’re out popping Golden Gordos.
• Master Gilded Ginger Usage: Always target Gold Slimes in clustered areas and don’t waste food shots.

If executed well, you’ll surpass 75,000 Newbucks and earn all three Rush Mode achievements in one focused run. Good luck, Rancher!
