Star Anise
Star Anise spikes legendary special value at 103 Sheckles base — a star-shaped crop that Galactic tags love during cosmic weather overlap.
Base value
Star Anise base value is 103 Sheckles. At 7 kg, raw sell is 103 × 49 = 5,047 Sheckles. At 12 kg you reach 103 × 144 = 14,832 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 star-anise around dedicated slow-grow tiles without splitting fertilizer with fast commons on the same cycle. Skip tornado clears mid-grow on legendary tier — lost env tags hurt more on slow crops.
