Baby Cactus
Baby Cactus proves desert specials start small at 86 Sheckles base — a rare crop that Sundried and Ember tags love on heat-baked tiles.
Base value
Baby Cactus base value is 86 Sheckles. At 7 kg, raw sell is 86 × 49 = 4,214 Sheckles. At 12 kg you reach 86 × 144 = 12,384 Sheckles — weight² dominates before growth mutations multiply the stack.
Mutations & weather
Special category crops demand event-aligned mutations and heavy weight before sell — high base means mistaken early harvests hurt more than on commons.
Farming loop
Schedule baby-cactus around dedicated slow-grow tiles without splitting fertilizer with fast commons on the same cycle. Skip tornado clears mid-grow on rare tier — lost env tags hurt more on slow crops.
