Overview
In Grow a Garden 2, mutations are special changes that occur in crops, not only altering their appearance but also significantly increasing their value. When a crop undergoes a mutation, its selling price can skyrocket, making it a desirable feature for players looking to maximize their earnings.
Each crop can only have one mutation at a time, and these transformations are determined when crops are updated or harvested. The end value of a mutated crop is calculated by multiplying its base price with both its size and mutation multiplier, emphasizing the importance of these fascinating changes.
Planting Gold or Rainbow Seeds guarantees a mutation for your crops.
Obtaining Mutations
There are several ways to acquire mutations in your crops, each with its own charm. The most common method involves a base 1% chance for standard crops to mutate at the time of harvest. However, some adaptable mutations may naturally occur during growth, especially during specific weather events.
For those seeking guaranteed mutations, planting Gold or Rainbow Seeds is a surefire way to ensure your crops are transformed. Additionally, certain weather and celestial events can trigger high-tier mutations, making it crucial to pay attention to the forecast when planning your garden activities.
Influence of Pets
Pets play a supportive role in increasing the likelihood of mutations, with creatures like the Unicorn or Golden Dragonfly enhancing the base mutation chances of crops within your garden. By strategically using these pets, you can boost the odds of your crops undergoing valuable transformations.
Understanding Mutation Types
Mutations are categorized into standard, environmental, and unreleased types. Each type comes with its own set of visual effects and value multipliers, which fluctuate based on various factors.
Environmental mutations are often tied to weather events, such as Bloodmoon or Lightning Storms, offering unique opportunities for players to witness their crops transform under specific conditions. These mutations can lead to significant increases in crop value, making them highly sought after.
