For example, Silky Sand is an island resource used in decorations, machinery, and teleporters. When starting Slime Rancher 2, players begin at the Rainbow Island Conservatory in an area called Rainbow Fields. As they venture out, they will find blueprints for different valuable items that list off natural ingredients found around the island. Some of these ingredients are only found in areas players must unlock by completing specific tasks. Silky Sand falls under this category, so here is its location and how to farm it.

While there are some resources in Rainbow Fields, like Deep Brine, Silky Sand is nowhere to be found on that part of the island. Instead, it is found mainly in an area called Starlight Strand. Starlight Strand is a coastal area with the sea splitting it in half. Each side's different colors further this division — one is red and the other blue. Players cannot travel by foot to Starlight Strand and have to open a portal to get there.

The portal only appears after dealing with the Cotton Gordo slime, a giant, stationary version of the species. Gordo slimes typically block something noteworthy with their bulk, so ranchers will have to feed it any Veggies they can find to make it explode. The entrance to a small cave is revealed after it explodes with the portal activation switch inside. Traveling to Starlight Strand is quick work after activating the portal. Silky Sand appears as brown geysers throughout
