Harvestable and drinkable Coconut
I love coconuts! The green fresh ones are so much better than the dried brown version. So I decided to make them for the game
Details:
——Coconut can be found under ‘Misc Appliances’ for 25 simoleons . [ Search for ‘coconut’ in the search bar for easy access]
—— Can be planted and harvested
—— Has 4 stages with custom meshes –
1) Planted
2) Seedling
3) Mature
4) Blossoming (harvestable stages)
—— Has custom harvesting action
—— Harvesting the Coconut tree gives a +1 Happy buff (‘Harvested Coconut’)
—— Harvested Coconut is tagged as fruit (Func_Fruit) , so can be used in recipes which require fruits as a cooking ingredient.
—— Coconut can be sold from inventory or using City Living Craft sales table
—— Toddler compatible (aka toddlers can eat the harvestable, play with the plant)
—— Harvesting the coconut tree will give 8 coconuts with varying quality
—— The coconut tree requires 4 tiles ( see attached pictures) and thus it is best to plant them a bit far apart. If you plant it very near to another coconut tree, the planted stage will spawn some distance away

Coconut Water is very nutritious. Apart from a high amount of glucose and micronutients, it has a very high quantity of Potassium. Infact it is so beneficial, it is often prescribed for patients who have hypokalemia (low potassium) in regions where fresh coconut is freely available. Very useful for patients who are suffering from coronary artery diseases and are on drugs which lower potassium!

The pulp has a lot of the same effects as the coconut water and is very soft and juicy
