Cactus Fruit
Cactus Fruit is the legendary desert payoff — 115 Sheckles base on spiny harvests makes Sandy sandstorms and Ember heat waves feel like mandatory calendar entries, not optional flavor.
Base value
Cactus Fruit base value is 115 Sheckles. A 7 kg fruit sells for 115 × 49 = 5,635 Sheckles raw. At 15 kg you hit 115 × 225 = 25,875 Sheckles before growth multipliers — where Sandy (×3) and Ember (×25) during desert weather define top legendary trade brackets.
Mutations & weather
Desert legendaries synergize with Sandy (×3) and Ember (×25) during sandstorm and heat-wave overlaps. Burnt (×12) during extreme heat stacks on spiny fruit built for screenshot trades.
Farming loop
Hold cactus-fruit seeds for sandstorm and heat-wave forecasts — missing Sandy on mature 115-base fruit hurts badly. Baby-cactus rows can share desert weather procs while legendaries mature.
