Weather Farming Strategies

Storm Chasing

Storm weather offers the highest growth boost at 1.5x speed plus Shocked mutations (4.5x value). Plant your most valuable seeds right before a Storm hits to maximize both growth speed and mutation chances. Combine with sprinklers for explosive results.

Starfall Hunting

Starfall is the rarest weather event with Starstruck mutations worth 6.5x value. While growth speed is normal, the mutation potential makes it incredibly valuable. Keep crops growing during Starfall for a chance at massive payouts.

Rain Farming

Rain provides a solid 1.25x growth boost with Soaked (1.2x) and Flooded (1.5x) mutations. It's common enough to build strategies around and sets up combo mutations like Frostbit when followed by Snow.

Combo Setup

Plan for combo mutations by tracking weather sequences. Muddy (5.0x) requires Flooded + Sandy, so watch for Rain followed by Sandstorm. These combos offer some of the highest multipliers in the game.
