Landmine Harvest

#Overview

Landmine Harvest is the evolution of Tater Mines: rotten mines that hit harder and make the pests they kill more likely to drop gold. Every 1.5 seconds it lays 4 mines that stay armed for 17.5 seconds (raw amount 3 and duration 14 s, plus the base +1 amount and +25% duration every non-aura weapon gets, see Stats). Each one triggers when a pest comes within 16 units and bursts for 75 damage in a radius of about 42 units (size 26 × area 1.6), with even stronger knockback than Tater Mines.

You get it by opening a chest while Tater Mines is level 8 and you own Rotten Spud at any level. See Evolutions and Chests.

#How it works

Placement, triggering and expiry follow the same rules as Tater Mines.

The goldOnKill value of 0.25 is added to a pest's gold drop chance when a mine blast is the hit that kills it.^[1] Most pests have a gold chance between 2% and 8%, so a mine kill raises it to roughly 27–33%. The bonus changes only the chance of a drop, not its value (an elite's drop is worth 10 times a normal pest's, with or without the mine).

Measured in the headless sim (tools/play.mjs, build 41 main-B2gf34bA.js, Standard, Normal, god mode, seeds s1, s2 and s3; the seeded starting weapon removed, the weapon given with give, spawning stopped after 4 s of play and the pests already on the field held at fixed spots with 10⁹ HP; one pest held 250 units away so no mine triggered): it dropped 4 mines 0.1 s apart every 1.5 s, each lasting 17.5 s with a 41.6-unit blast. All three seeds gave the same figures.

#Tips

• The gold bonus only counts when the mine lands the killing blow, so Landmine Harvest earns the most gold when it is clearing weak pests rather than finishing off enemies your other weapons already hurt.
• Its catalyst, Rotten Spud, raises curse: tougher, faster and more numerous enemies, but more XP and gold. More pests walking into mines suits this weapon.

#Stats

Values are the raw numbers from the game's definitions, before Tibo's global stat multipliers, difficulty and time scaling. In play, Tibo's base stats add +1 amount to every weapon except aura, cone, nuke and ring weapons, and make every duration ×1.25 (see Stats). Field names in code are the game's internal names. Attack descriptions such as “Melee slash” are this wiki's summary of the internal attack kind.

Evolutions have no level-ups in the game data; they use these fixed raw values.

#Obtaining

• Get Tater Mines to level 8 while owning Rotten Spud (any level), then open a chest. See Evolutions.
