Turtle and the harvest-loop carrying capacity

Turtle's flat backpack-space boost changes the harvest loop more than it changes raw income. The extra slots mean longer harvest runs before you have to detour to sell, which matters most on large multi-harvest plots where you are picking many ripe crops per cycle — exactly the scenario where a sell detour costs the most missed harvest time.

The trade-off is the walk-speed penalty. Slower movement means each trip across the plot takes longer, which compounds over a long session. The honest comparison is Bunny: both Common-utility pets affect the harvest loop, but in opposite directions. Turtle lets you carry more per trip; Bunny lets you make trips faster. Pick Turtle for sprawling plots where sell detours dominate; pick Bunny for tighter plots where movement speed dominates.
