Honestly i really think we should have some sort of cactus berry picking ability for the game. I'm sure many users would agree that the cacti pretty much do nothing and end up being destroyed or just avoided entirely.
It would especially help with the dreaded burning savannah as cacti seem to be the only bush food source you can find there and adding in a cactus picking ability would lower the difficulty curve somewhat.
As for what slot this would go in i believe it would most likely be the head slot as it's function would be similar to the poison fangs.
Also, contrary to popular belief, many animals eat the fruit and nectar produced by the cacti. Two examples would be the Gila woodpecker and the collared peccary, who each use the cacti for different purposes.
Thinking about what this fabled cacti picking ability would look like is also a difficult one. It could be a beak, like the platypus beak that would allow the sucking of nectar from the cactus or it could be like the camel's clever adaptation, with the insides of their mouths containing thick leathery spines that allow them to munch on the various desert cacti.
What do you guys think?
