How mutations happen
Mutations come from weather events, pets, sprinklers, seed events, or random chances. Electric comes from Lightning, Frozen from Snowfall, and Starstruck from Starfall. Gold and Rainbow can happen through mutated plants or random chance, while Unicorn support helps Rainbow chances.
How to chase better mutation value
Start by improving the crops that are already worth harvesting. A high multiplier matters most when it lands on valuable fruit. Sprinklers and mutation-friendly pets become stronger once your garden has crops that are worth boosting.
Rainbow becomes more interesting when Unicorn is part of your pet plan, because Unicorn improves Rainbow chances.
Starstruck and Bloodlit are worth watching, but crops with known multipliers are easier to plan around.
Electric, Frozen, and Starstruck are tied to weather or sky events, so they depend on the right event window.
