The Far, Far Range is an unnamed alien planet located a thousand light-years from the Earth, whose natural conditions make up the homes of different kinds of slimes. Having found a new source of income, mega corporations from the Earth sent their people to live on the Far, Far Range as hosts on specially equipped ranches where they care for slimes and extract plorts. That is because no slime has ever produced a plort outside of its atmosphere.
Connection between the Earth and the Far, Far Range is supported by StarMail. Players exchange plorts for money at the Plort Market. From time to time, 7Zee offers services by trading newbucks for Vacpack Upgrades.
The Far, Far Range seems to have oxygen that humans can breathe in, allowing them to breathe normally as if they were on Earth without the need of gas tanks.
Signs of civilization in the Far, Far Range can be seen throughout most of the zones.
Pillars with Slime Statues can be found on the Slime Sea near the entrance of The Moss Blanket.
More signs of civilization can be found in The Ancient Ruins and The Glass Desert, both abandoned ruins of civilization.
There are other man-made constructions in The Dry Reef and The Indigo Quarry, though this may have been done relatively recently by humans.
In one of Hobson's notes, it is said that the people who inhabited The Ancient Ruins loved slimes and created the place for a specific reason, but lately, he says that they created the ruins as a teleportation center to the glass desert. This confirms why Hobson wrote in a note that he learned how to use the ruins.
The Far, Far Range is inhabited by more than ranchers, slimes, and hens. It's inhabited by bird-like creatures called rayvians [1], scuttle bugs, bees, firefly-like creatures, and possibly more.
