What Contagion does to crop value
With no other environmental mutation, the environmental layer starts at 1 and adds 204, producing ×205. A growth variant such as Gold or Rainbow is applied as a separate multiplier.
environmental = 1 + 204 = 205×
Contagion examples at base weight
| Crop | Normal crop | With Contagion | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🥕 Carrot | 20 | 4,100 | +4,080 |
| 🍓 Strawberry | 15 | 3,075 | +3,060 |
| 🍉 Watermelon | 3,000 | 615,000 | +612,000 |
| 🫘 Beanstalk | 28,000 | 5,740,000 | +5,712,000 |
Availability and stacking cautions
A combined mutation with special stacking or replacement rules; verify current conditions before planning a stack.
Special mutation replacements and incompatibilities can change which effects remain on a crop. The calculator estimates the selected stack; it does not assert that every theoretical combination is currently obtainable.
