⚡ What Earthquake Excavator does
Every 5 minutes 12 seconds at base weight, the Badger digs for 10 seconds. While it digs, every fruit within 20 studs has a 10% chance every second to get Cracked, a ×4 mutation that otherwise comes from the Earthquake and Super Storm weathers.
Because the roll repeats each second, a 10-second dig gives each fruit in range ten tries, so plant it in the middle of a dense patch.
