Mutations in Grow a Garden are unique visual transformations that increase the value of your crops. Each mutation has a distinctive appearance and a Sheckles multiplier, which determines how much extra value your crops will yield. Some mutations are rarer than others, but they are the most effective way to maximize profits.
The Twisted mutation is one of the more rewarding mutations, offering a 5x Sheckles multiplier. It can be obtained naturally without the need for admin weather events or limited items. Instead, it relies on in-game conditions such as specific weather events, pets, or special gears.
Twisted Mutation Overview
| Name | Sheckles Multiplier | Obtainment | Visual Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twisted | x5 | During Tornado. Can be applied by the Pterodactyl pet. Twisted cannot be applied by the Pterodactyl if the crop already has the Windstruck mutation. | Tornado-like swirls wrapping around the crop, similar to Windstruck but more intense. |
How to Obtain Twisted
The Twisted mutation can occur under the following conditions:
- Tornado Event
- Twisted is primarily triggered by the Tornado weather event in the game.
- Crops affected by a tornado have a chance to gain the Twisted mutation.
- Timing your crops to be fully grown during a tornado increases your chances.
- Using Pets
- The Pterodactyl pet can apply the Twisted mutation to crops.
- Note: If the crop already has the Windstruck mutation, the Pterodactyl cannot apply Twisted.
- Gear Influence
- Certain in-game gears can increase mutation chances by creating favorable environmental conditions in your garden.
- Placing gears that simulate wind or storm effects can indirectly improve your odds of getting Twisted.
Visual Characteristics
Twisted looks similar to Windstruck but with notable differences:
- Small tornado-like swirls wrap around the crop.
- The crop appears to be “twisting” in the wind, giving it a dynamic, animated effect.
- The visual flair is subtle but clearly distinguishes Twisted from other mutations.
Tips to Maximize Twisted Mutation Chances
- Plan Around Tornado Events
- Track in-game weather schedules if available.
- Ensure crops are mature and ready to mutate when tornadoes hit.
- Use the Right Pets
- Deploy the Pterodactyl pet strategically to crops that do not have Windstruck.
- Leverage Gear Effects
- Certain gears can simulate windy conditions and increase the natural mutation rate.
- Experiment and Observe
- Some mutations occur randomly, so keeping a garden with diverse crops and conditions increases your overall mutation chances.
Why Mutations Matter
Mutations in Grow a Garden are more than just visual effects—they maximize crop value and provide strategic advantages:
- Higher Sheckles multipliers = more profit per harvest.
- Unique visuals help you track mutation spread in your garden.
- Rare mutations like Twisted create an edge in competitive events or trading within the game.
