Then again, it's not hard to imagine slimes that more or less stay in line. For wet slimes, I would think sunlight (as mentioned) and dryness would be harmful. Maybe also fire, salt, lots of things. Seems to me that wet slimes need damp and dark. (A tougher question is wet slimes that can also live in water. What prevents them taking over a lake?) Dry, rubbery slimes are a puzzler. A pudding is ridiculously tough, with just about no vulnerabilities; what stops it from taking over above ground and below? Maybe just really slow reproduction? Unusual vulnerability to some above-ground foe? Or - odd idea - they dislike areas with high Nature's Strength, limiting their threat to wastelands, deep underground, etc.?

Re: What control goo in a dungeon?
The real answer is that DF ignores such petty concepts as ecosystems. Most goo type creatures should either get wiped out or expand until they devour all available food and then starve, but neither works well for including them as dungeon monsters. The easiest option is that they require something special, found only in dungeons and only in limited (but slowly regenerating) quantities to exist.

Re: What control goo in a dungeon?
Give the goo a high rate of aging or decay upon moving? That’s the only way I can think of that would ensure that every space of underground isn’t scoured and converted to goo.
The goo would have to stay still if it isn’t eating, or on the way to a plentiful food source... it would explain why they always start in on PCs when the party draws close. It could also just have a half-life no matter moving or not, every goo you run into is a recent irruptor into this reality, Elder Thing Style.
