NPCs & Enemies Slime Rain Summon

[Flubman]

Slime Rain is a neat event, but there's no way to summon it manually, which is odd because almost every other enemy-based event does have one.

I do agree that some way to trigger the Slime Rain would be nice, but also... why would you want to?

Maybe using the flamethrower or elf melter too much angers the slime king so he sends his rain down on you? That sounds worse out loud.

Why not?

Also, Pinky farming.

Slime king can already be summoned, so I dont really think the slime rain needs to be. Plus, its not really an "invasion" like the pirates/goblins, its weather.

On the outside, Slime Rain has absolutely no reason to spawn more than once, which is before defeating King Slime in pre-Hardmode. Because of how rare it becomes afterwards, obtaining the music box for it (locked to Hardmode) is very difficult. Not to mention it's a great way to farm rainbow bricks which are hard to obtain otherwise (I think? Feels familiar anyway.)
I also think that there should be a change to Slime Rain that causes Queen Slime to appear rather than King Slime if the player is in the Hallow.

Agree with the hallow part. As for the rainbow slime, Im fairly certain it spawns in the underground hallow

I checked the wiki. It spawns in the Hallow during rain.
