⚡ What its two abilities do
Safari Renewal: each fruit you harvest has a 10% chance to duplicate. Rarer crops have a lower chance.
Safari Harvester: Safari-type fruit get an extra 5% on top.
🆚 Cape Buffalo or Giant Ant?
Both start at 10%. The Cape Buffalo's chance rises faster (0.15% per kilogram) but stops at 20%; the Giant Ant's rises 0.1% per kilogram and caps at 30%. They meet at 20% at 100 kg, so the Cape Buffalo is ahead below that and the Giant Ant only pulls ahead at very heavy weights. The bonus types differ too: Safari fruit for the buffalo, Candy fruit for the ant.
