In Grow a Garden, weather events and mutations play a crucial role in maximizing your crops’ value. The combination of different weather effects and mutations can lead to significant increases in the worth of your produce. This guide will walk you through the various weather events, mutations, and the best ways to make the most out of them. Let’s dive into the world of Grow a Garden and explore how to take your farming skills to the next level!
There are four weather events that can influence your crops in Grow a Garden. While some happen randomly, others are tied to specific times or conditions. Each weather event can trigger mutations that enhance the growth speed of your plants or increase their value.
Rain
Rain is the most common weather event you’ll encounter in Grow a Garden. When it rains, the sky darkens and your crops can experience the Wet mutation. This mutation is beneficial for two reasons: it speeds up plant growth and gives a 50% chance for fruit to acquire the Wet mutation, which doubles its value.
Frost
Frost is rarer than rain, but it provides two interesting mutations: Frozen and Chilled. These mutations are triggered by the cold weather and increase plant growth speed. While Frost is not as frequent as rain, it does occur multiple times a day, giving you opportunities to take advantage of these valuable mutations.
Thunderstorm
The Thunderstorm event is the rarest of all, but it comes with two powerful mutations. Just like rain, a Thunderstorm can trigger the Wet mutation. However, the standout mutation from a Thunderstorm is the Shocked mutation, which comes from lightning strikes. Thunderstorms also boost the growth speed of your plants.
Meteor Shower
Meteor Showers are unique because they only occur during Nightfall. This event has the chance to bestow the Celestial mutation, which greatly increases the value of your crops. Meteor Showers are rare, but if you’re lucky enough to experience one, your fruits could get a substantial value boost.
Mutations in Grow a Garden
Mutations are special changes that can affect your crops. Some mutations increase growth speed, while others increase the value of the crops. Many mutations can stack, leading to even higher value multipliers. Here’s a breakdown of all the mutations and their effects:
Gold Mutation
This rare mutation is highly sought after. It offers a x20 multiplier to your crops’ value. It’s most commonly found on plants like Apple, Strawberry, Blueberry, and Raspberry. Look for visual clues, such as a twinkling sound and small white flashes around the crop.
Wet Mutation
Triggered by rain or thunderstorms, the Wet mutation is one of the most common and beneficial mutations. It causes your crops to grow faster and increases their value by x2.
Frozen Mutation
When Frost occurs, crops may receive the Frozen mutation, which boosts their value by x10. These plants will be encased in ice, making them easy to identify.
Chilled Mutation
Alongside the Frozen mutation, plants can also receive the Chilled mutation, which gives them a x2 multiplier. This mutation is harder to spot but can be identified by faint white flecks on the plant.
Shocked Mutation
During a Thunderstorm, the Shocked mutation can be triggered. This mutation is one of the most profitable, with a x50 multiplier. Plants with this mutation will glow with a bright hue.
Rainbow Mutation
The Rainbow mutation is rare and random, but it’s one of the most valuable mutations in the game. When a plant receives the Rainbow mutation, it will glow and shift colors, offering a x50 multiplier to its value.
Big Mutation
The Big mutation causes any crop to grow into a giant version of itself. This can happen naturally or with the help of gear like sprinklers.
Chocolate Mutation
This limited-time mutation was available during the Easter event. It could be triggered using a Chocolate Sprinkler on crops.
Moonlit Mutation
During the Lunar Glow Event, crops can take on the Moonlit mutation, glowing with a purple haze. This mutation offers a x2 multiplier but only lasts for a short time at night.
Disco Mutation
The Disco mutation was introduced during a special event and causes crops to glow neon and cycle through rainbow colors. This mutation was temporary but offered an exciting visual experience.
Bloodlit Mutation
During the Blood Moon event, crops can become Bloodlit, glowing with a red hue. This mutation provides a x4 multiplier to crop values.
Celestial Mutation
The Celestial mutation is the most valuable in the game, providing a x120 multiplier. This mutation can only occur during a Meteor Shower event, making it quite rare. The best way to increase your chances of getting this mutation is to use a Star Caller during a Meteor Shower.
Zombified Mutation
The Zombified mutation is a special effect that can occur when the Mythical Chicken Zombie is present. Zombified fruits have a x25 multiplier and drip with a green glow, signaling their transformation.
Maximizing Your Profits with Mutations
To fully capitalize on mutations, it’s crucial to stack them. For example, you can have a Chilled and Rainbow crop, which will provide a massive value boost. You can also improve your chances of getting certain mutations by investing in gear like Basic Sprinklers, Advanced Sprinklers, and Godly Sprinklers.
The Lightning Rod is particularly useful for increasing your chances of the Shocked mutation. This piece of gear can be purchased for 1,000,000 Sheckles and used to attract lightning during a Thunderstorm.
Conclusion
Weather events and mutations are at the heart of making your farm in Grow a Garden more profitable. By understanding how each weather event works and what mutations can be triggered, you can maximize the value of your crops. Keep an eye on the skies, invest in the right gear, and soon enough, your garden will be full of highly valuable, mutated fruits ready to be sold for massive profits.
