Pumpkin
Pumpkin is the fall-capstone uncommon vegetable — 55 Sheckles base on heavy gourds makes weight² returns feel like a real step toward harvest-squash and event squash economies.
Base value
Pumpkin base value is 55 Sheckles. A 7 kg gourd sells for 55 × 49 = 2,695 Sheckles raw. At 15 kg you hit 55 × 225 = 12,375 Sheckles before growth multipliers — where Golden (×20) on a single heavy pumpkin beats a row of unmutated commons.
Mutations & weather
Large gourds synergize with Moonlit (×8) during autumn nights and Ember (×25) on sunny harvest days. Windstruck (×3) during windy fall weather aligns with outdoor pumpkin row layouts.
Farming loop
Hold pumpkin seeds for fall-event weather overlaps when harvest-squash tags proc more often. Avoid tornado planting — slow gourd maturity makes Cyclonic rerolls expensive.
Pumpkin strategy
Gourd Weight Economics
Pumpkin teaches single-harvest weight investment: one heavy gourd can define a session's Sheckles. Set a sell floor in the weight-from-value calculator before dedicating premium plot slots.
Compare pumpkin with watermelon when allocating large-fruit tiles — fruit category bases differ but weight targets feel similar.
Fall Event Synergy
Pumpkin rows fit naturally beside harvest-squash and maple-syrup-pod during fall events. Shared weather procs and pet paths maximize env brackets without replotting.
Trade partners want posted gourd weights with mutation screenshots — verify tags before advertising autumn showcase harvests.
Common questions
- How heavy should Pumpkin be?
- Aim for 12–18 kg. At 15 kg with no mutations, expect 55 × 225 = 12,375 Sheckles before friend boost.
- Pumpkin or Watermelon?
- Watermelon has a 62 base in the fruit category. Watermelon wins at equal weight — pumpkin wins if your vegetable plots achieve higher kg.
