Grow A Garden 2 Mutations
Mutations are the multiplier system behind Grow A Garden 2's crop economy, turning an ordinary harvest into something worth many times more through randomly rolled effects like Gold, Rainbow, or Bloodlit. Since a crop can only carry one mutation at a time and that mutation is what decides most of its final sell price, hunting the right one is central to earning serious Sheckles.
Overview
Mutations are visual crop variants that multiply sell price, and each crop can hold only one at a time, applied either while it grows or right at harvest. A standard crop has roughly a 1% chance to mutate on harvest, while only a handful of mutation types can also trigger naturally during growth.
List of Mutations
Known mutations split into three groups: standard mutations available through normal play, environmental mutations tied to specific weather events, and mutations that are known about but not yet released.
