Raising slimes outdoor

[nicodeux]

In one of my saves, I want to try something that I currently never tried: raising slimes outdoor on the farm.

I have (had) slime hutches on a few farms, so I used to raise farms, but never outdoor.
My idea is to have fences to keep the slimes in a specific places, with some outdoor decorations and start raising them through a slime incubator, then let them mate. The farm is a wilderness farm, because the farmer is monsters/combat oriented.

Therefore, I have also a few questions:
- do the slimes lay slime balls even outdoor?
- do I need to place a flooring where the slimes are?
- do the slimes require specific care?
- do I need to turn off the monster spawing in the farm (wilderness farm)?

I also wonder what advices you would have for me.

The slimes will not lay slime balls outdoors. Placing flooring therefore makes no difference. They don't seem to need any particular care, but note that they seem prone to escaping fenced areas.

Note that you can place slime incubators everywhere, and slimes in Pelican town will talk to the villagers.
