Grow A Garden Mutations

Explore the complete guide on crop mutations, including value calculations, mutation multipliers, and environmental bonuses. Learn how to maximize your crop values today!

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.

Price Calculation

Basic Formula

Total Value = Base Sheckles × Growth Mutation × (1 + Sum of Environmental Stack Bonuses)

With Weight Calculation

Total Value = k × Weight² × Total Multiplier

When the weight exceeds the minimum weight of the crop

Formula Components

Total Multiplier:Growth Mutation × (1 + Sum of Environmental Stack Bonuses)

Stack Bonus:Each mutation's multiplier minus one (e.g., ×2 mutation = +1 bonus)

k Value:Unique constant for each crop used in weight-based calculations

Mutation Restrictions

Important Limitations

•Only one Growth mutation: Golden OR Rainbow (not both)
•Only one Temperature mutation: Chilled, Wet, OR Frozen
•Only one of Cooked OR Burnt mutations can be applied
•Dawnbound mutation can only be obtained on Sunflowers
•Environmental mutations can be stacked for maximum profit

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
