×90
Weather-Triggered Mutation

Ranked #8 of 58 tracked mutations by multiplier size.

📐 How to Get the Aurora Mutation

Trigger: Aurora Borealis weather event. Frequency: Every ~8 hours, ~45 min window.

Tip: Best window to save Prismatic-tier crops for; also boosts base Rainbow chance to ~0.3%.

💰 Real Example: Aurora on a Sunflower

Sunflower base value: 144,400₡ At base weight, with only Aurora applied: 144,400 × ×90 = 12,996,000₡

This assumes base weight (no size bonus) and no other mutations stacked — real values go far higher once you add weight scaling and additional mutations. Plug in your own crop and weight →

Weather mutations behave like Environmental mutations once applied — they stack additively with other Environmental/Weather mutations on the same fruit (1 + Σ − count), then get multiplied by any Growth mutation present.

Commonly paired with: ✨ Celestial (×120) and 🌈 Rainbow (×50).
