Growing Papaya Efficiently
-
Seed Acquisition:
Papaya seeds are most reliably acquired by opening Exotic Seed Packs — a gamble but worthwhile due to their high value. -
Planting Location:
Plant papayas near Spice Spritzer Sprinklers to maximize growth speed and value boosts. -
Harvesting:
Since papaya trees allow multiple harvests, keep an eye on the growth timer (~8 minutes) and harvest regularly to maximize profits. -
Mutation Strategy:
Engage during special in-game events like lunar eclipses to increase mutation chances, leading to rare, high-value papaya fruits. -
Value Optimization:
Aim to mutate your papaya fruits to higher tiers, especially Dawnbound or Shocked, to multiply their base price dramatically.
