Nutty Apology: the Squirrel gains 3 extra XP per second for itself.
The wiki explains the history: originally the Squirrel gave a 2.5% chance to keep a seed after planting, which players used to duplicate exclusive seeds. That was removed and replaced with the Reclaimer saving, and the second ability's name reads as an apology.
