Mutations

Overview

Mutations are unique and visual transformations that significantly increase the selling price of [[Crops|crops]] when harvested.

Each [[Crops|crop]] can carry exactly one mutation at any given time. Mutations are calculated when a [[Crops|crop]] updates or upon harvest. The final crop sell value is determined by its base price multiplied by both its physical size scale and its mutation multiplier.

<u>Mechanics & Obtainment</u>

Mutations can be obtained in several distinct ways:

• Random Growth/Harvest Chance: Standard [[Crops|crops]] have a base 1% chance to mutate upon harvest. Only specific, highly adaptable mutations can be triggered naturally during growth stages; the rest are strictly rolled during harvesting. (AKA. When you pick up your plant during a weather event, it has 1 final chance to adopt the mutation)
• Special Seeds: Planting [[Gold Seed|Gold Seeds]] or [[Rainbow Seed|Rainbow Seeds]] guarantees a mutation on the grown [[Crops|crop]].
• Weather & Celestial Events: Certain high-tier mutations can only occur during specialized global weather cycles on the [[Weather|Time & Weather Cycle]] page, such as Snowfall, Lightning storms, or Blood Moons.
• Pet Modifiers: Pets like the [[Pets|Unicorn]] or [[Pets|Golden Dragonfly]] passively multiply the base mutation chances of crops in your garden.

To account for that, the multiplier in the parenthesis is what is shown in the game files.
