Pumpkin is the uncommon gourd that makes single-harvest weight feel like a session plan — 55 Sheckles base where one heavy orange shell can out-earn a row of neglected commons.
At unit weight the prompt is 55 Sheckles. Eight kilograms yield 55 × 64 = 3,520; twelve kilograms reach 55 × 144 = 7,920; sixteen kilograms hit 55 × 256 = 14,080 before mutations. Gourd economy is weight-first — early picks on 55 base waste the fall-tile investment.

Pumpkin has a base value of 55 Sheckles at unit weight. Because sale value scales with weight squared, the table below shows the raw sell and the same crop with Golden or Rainbow growth applied at common harvest weights.
| Weight | Raw (no mutation) | + Golden (20×) | + Rainbow (50×) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | 55 | 1.1K | 2.75K |
| 2 kg | 220 | 4.4K | 11K |
| 5 kg | 1.38K | 27.5K | 68.8K |
| 10 kg | 5.5K | 11K | 275K |
Moonlit (×8) on autumn nights and Ember (×25) on sunny harvest days are the seasonal env options. Windstruck (×3) fits open outdoor pumpkin rows. Golden (×20) holds growth; avoid tornado camping — Cyclonic rerolls on slow gourds are expensive.
Seat pumpkin for fall-event overlaps when harvest-squash weather is live, or run it as a weight trainer off-event. Fertilize one gourd hard, take Moonlit or Ember if they appear, and sell when the calculator clears your zucchini alternative at equal effort.
Watermelon at 62 fruit base wins at equal weight, but pumpkin teaches vegetable-category gourd discipline that transfers to harvest-squash. Choose based on which pets and fall calendar you actually have.
Zucchini at 44 base is the faster vegetable neighbor. Keep zucchini for volume; keep pumpkin for the heavy single-shell lesson.
Post gourd weight with growth icon visible. Autumn buyers ignore “huge pumpkin” ads without scale UI.
Bundle with harvest-squash only when kilograms sit close together. Mixed light-and-heavy fall lots get priced off the weakest shell.
