Details

When its HP reaches ⅔ and ⅓ (around 2700 and 1350 typically), it will trigger a explosion (it does not take any recoil damage or anything from this) on its tile that deals 500 damage to zombies in range. This can only trigger once and can’t be triggered again if the fusion is healed back to its previous degrees.

On death, it will explode itself on its tile, dealing 1800 Cremator damage to zombies in range.

Pros
Cons
Deals a powerful explosion when a zombie breaks through it, punishing aggressive attackers
High toughness buys significant time before the mine triggers
Discourages zombie advances by threatening a damaging detonation
One-time explosive effect — once triggered the plant is destroyed
Cannot attack at range and relies entirely on zombies reaching it
Requires replanting after detonation, which has a sun cost
1 Place Mine-nut at the front of your line to act as a damage wall that punishes zombies for eating through it.
2 Stack Mine-nuts in a row to create a chain of explosive obstacles that slow and damage zombie advances.
3 Use Cherry Bomb as a backup behind Mine-nut to finish off any zombies that survive the detonation.
4 In Survival modes, pre-plant Mine-nuts before waves begin to have explosives ready at key chokepoints.
QWhen does Mine-nut's explosion trigger?
The explosion triggers when zombies eat through Mine-nut's HP, detonating and dealing heavy area damage to all zombies nearby.
QCan Mine-nut be used as a regular wall plant?
Yes — before it explodes, Mine-nut functions as a standard high-HP wall plant that blocks zombie movement.
QIs Mine-nut worth replanting after it detonates?
In high-pressure situations, yes — its combined wall-and-bomb nature makes it cost-efficient if the explosion eliminates multiple zombies.
