2 PLAYER Evolution Tycoon Fruit Value Reference

How to read this reference

Values below are wiki estimates from community gameplay observations—not datamined official tables. Use them to compare routes per minute, then confirm on your server after Updates Hub patches. Pair with Fruits Tier List and How to Get Exotic Fruits. Values assume legitimate progression on place 3017870574 without scripts—see Scripts Hub.

Core fruit value table

Fruit	Est. points	Risk	Best era	Notes
Apple	~50	Low	Wooden	Safe filler while waiting respawns
Banana	~500	Low–Med	Wooden–Medieval	Strong mid-tier lap efficiency
Cherry	High	Med–High	Modern–Sci-Fi	Worth detours with escort
Watermelon	Very high	High	Modern–Sci-Fi	Often near CTF/KOTH mid
Bomb	Negative/trap	High	All	Avoid on marathon laps

Wooden era routes

Route	Avg value/min	Risk	Tips
Spawn perimeter loop	Medium	Low	Learn timers first session
Near-base apples	~50 per pickup	Low	Fund earliest droppers
Banana spur	~500 bursts	Low	Transition before Medieval
CTF border mix	High spikes	Medium	Bring Controls basics

Medieval era routes

Route	Avg value/min	Risk	Tips
Castle lane	Medium	Medium	Sword practice before crossbow fights
Outer wall cherries	High	Medium	Co-op callouts help
KOTH edge watermelon	Very high	High	Crossbow 25 damage zone

Modern era routes

Route	Avg value/min	Risk	Tips
Industrial spur	High	Medium	Version 1.2 map content
Mid contested cherries	High	High	Read Combat Tips
Bomb-adjacent paths	Negative	High	Skip unless testing mechanics

Sci-Fi era routes

Route	Avg value/min	Risk	Tips
Vertical cherry spawns	Very high	High	Jump timing critical
Elevated watermelon	Very high	High	Pair with Sci-Fi sword or crossbow
Safe apple fallback	~50	Low	Use when PvP overheated

When fruit beats passive income

If (average pickup value × pickups per lap) / lap minutes exceeds your best dropper income for 10+ minutes, prioritize fruit until next button is affordable on Evolution Checklist. Reverse priority when button prices are cheap near evolution machine funding on How to Evolve.

Co-op value multiplication

Two runners clearing separate hemispheres effectively double cherry and watermelon uptime without doubling bomb risk—coordinate in Getting Started. Do not steal partner timers; split map using voice or text callouts.

Post-patch validation

Metaverse Champions week (version 1.4) shifted quest traffic; version 1.5 reverted live event while distributing Wren’s Winding Willow—see Events History. Re-walk laps after major updates.

Saving reminder

Fruit points spend immediately; era tier alone saves per How Saving Works. Reloading Sci-Fi onto empty plot removes droppers but not your route knowledge—reuse this table during rebuilds.

Lap timing examples

On Wooden, a perimeter loop mixing apples (~50) and one banana (~500) often completes under ninety seconds on low-pop servers—compare that burst to your slowest dropper over the same window. On Medieval, cherry detours add thirty to forty-five seconds but can triple lap value if uncontested. On Sci-Fi, skip elevated watermelon unless you have jump confidence from Controls and a teammate holding mid per Capture the Flag.

Bomb avoidance checklist

If a pickup sits in a choke point with red warning visuals, treat it as bomb-tier until proven otherwise. Reset your lap rather than grabbing unknown spawns during evolve funding crunch—Evolution Checklist rows should not wait on respawn timers from explosive traps.

Using this page with the interactive tool

An interactive fruit values component may render separately on this wiki route; these markdown tables remain the canonical reference when the component is unavailable or when playing on mobile without split-screen.

How to read approximate numbers

Values on this page are session estimates from public gameplay and creator videos such as the verified getting-started walkthrough—not leaked datastores. If a cherry feels weaker after a silent patch, update your personal notes and re-check Updates Hub. Always prefer relative ranking over memorizing exact integers.

Decision tree

If a fruit is worth under ~100 points and sits behind enemy swords, skip it. If a fruit is high-value and on your hemisphere, call it for your duo. If a bomb shape appears, treat it as a trap regardless of sparkle effects. Use the interactive table on this page beside Fruits tier list and How to Get Exotic Fruits.

Pairing with checklist tools

During evolve pushes, open Evolution checklist on a second screen and only leave base for fruits that still beat dropper income. After empty-plot reloads, fruit routes reopen the gap until buttons return—do not greed CTF until collectors are rebuilt.

Interactive table on this page

Scroll below this article for the interactive fruit value table—sort by estimated points, era, or risk tier without leaving the wiki. The widget mirrors the markdown reference above but updates row emphasis when you filter for Wooden apple loops versus Sci-Fi cherry spawns. Use the interactive table during live sessions; use markdown tables when printing or sharing static screenshots with co-op partners on Discord.

Quick reference without sorting

Apples ~50, bananas ~500, cherries high, bombs bad, watermelon premium—the interactive table encodes those relationships with sortable columns so you do not memorize every cell.
