Overview
Mutations are unique visual transformations that enhance the value of crops, making them more visually distinctive and often lucrative. These changes can be triggered by specific in-game conditions like weather, certain tools or special seeds. Certain mutations are significantly rarer than others, but yield a higher Sheckles multiplier.
In Grow a Garden, mutations are your ticket to raking in a fortune of glittering Sheckles! These mutations supercharge your fruits' value, multiplying their sale price. From a modest 2x boost with Moonlit or Chilled fruits to an electrifying 150x surge with Dawnbound fruit, the potential is wild! Best of all, these vibrant mutations can stack, piling on the profits and skyrocketing your crops' worth to mind-blowing heights.

Calculation Examples
Example 1: Golden Apple with Moonlit
Base Apple Value: 248 Sheckles
Growth Mutation: Golden (×20)
Environmental: Moonlit (+1 bonus)
Total Value = 248 × 20 × (1 + 1) = 9,920 Sheckles
Example 2: Rainbow Sunflower with Multiple Mutations
Base Sunflower Value: 144,000 Sheckles
Growth Mutation: Rainbow (×50)
Environmental: Bloodlit (+3) + Shocked (+99) + Dawnbound (+149)
Total Value = 144,000 × 50 × (1 + 3 + 99 + 149) = 1,814,400,000 Sheckles
Example 3: Golden Crop with Cooked + Voidtouched
Base Crop Value: 1,000 Sheckles (example)
Growth Mutation: Golden (×20)
Environmental: Cooked (+9) + Voidtouched (+134)
Total Value = 1,000 × 20 × (1 + 9 + 134) = 2,880,000 Sheckles
