Chestnut
Chestnut shells fall event nuts at 51 Sheckles base — an uncommon nut crop that teaches shell-weight timing before acorn legendary rows.
Base value
Chestnut base value is 51 Sheckles. At 6 kg, raw sell is 51 × 36 = 1,836 Sheckles. At 12 kg you reach 51 × 144 = 7,344 Sheckles — weight² dominates before growth mutations multiply the stack.
Mutations & weather
Fall event crops excel with Leaf-strewn, Crisp, and Windstruck during autumn weather. Sundried secondary tags help on clear harvest days.
Farming loop
Plant chestnut at fall event start so maturity overlaps peak event weather — shared event conditions boost proc rates on neighboring event crops. Clear Skies between events works for kg pushing without mutation chasing.
Chestnut strategy
Autumn Harvest Rotation
Chestnut anchors fall event nut and squash rows with maple-syrup-pod and harvest-squash. Leaf-strewn and Crisp tags peak when autumn weather is active.
Plant at fall event start — acorn and giant-pinecone buyers watch early harvest posts to gauge seasonal market supply.
Seasonal Listing Tips
Fall event crops lose trade premium after shop rotation. Move chestnut quickly or hold for kg rather than stale pastel-tier env tags off-season.
At 51 base, chestnut and chestnut share buyer pools — price against recent autumn-apple comps in Discord.
Common questions
- When should I plant Chestnut for the fall event?
- At fall event start so maturity overlaps peak weather. Off-event planting still works for kg — event tags proc mainly during active weeks.
- Is Chestnut worth mutating?
- Golden growth on heavy chestnut is fine for learning. Skip expensive env rerolls until you upgrade to higher base nut crops.
