Noob here, first print on MINI+, would appreciate ideas on how to fix these errors.
Prusament PLA, Nozzle 215, Bed 60, 0.15mm, -0.1 Z offset, Firmware 4.3.4, default settings on everything else
I don't know much about all the specifics of 3D printing yet so I would like to know how to go about troubleshooting this. My guess is either printing speed too fast or Z offset isn't right but I know there's probably many other potential issues I'm unaware of.
Note the groove in the roof in the second picture, and in the chimney in the fifth pic. Also wondering how the print quality of the first layer is, in the sixth pic.

Try a slower printing speed
Check the levelness of your printing surface, install the dampeners on the bottom if you haven't, make sure your machine is not uneven and the printing surface is rigid.
Do a calibration.
Try tweaking your Z axis offset again.
Clean the gear housing.
Possibly your room's humidity may be too high?

here mang, hope this helps

Mhhhh, to me that looks like a belt tensioning issue. If you print the benchy again, do the errors occure exactly the same as on your provided picture?
Maybe also print a calibratione cube https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/97625-xyz-calibration-cube to see further changes after trying to fix it.
Speedwise I never had any issues with the provided settings on my mini! Therefore I would suggest to first narrow down the error hardware wise before trying to fix it via software!
Try to adjust the belts as provided in this article https://help.prusa3d.com/en/article/adjusting-belt-tension-mini_157324
And print a Tension Meter

as soon as possible. Gets the guessing out of the way and is somewhat repeatable!

Thanks for the replies everyone, I actually figured out that the problem was just that the belts were slightly too loose, and the printing speed was indeed too high. But I'll definitely keep these in mind for future calibration issues.
