What Shadowbound does to crop value
With no other environmental mutation, the environmental layer starts at 1 and adds 69, producing ×70. A growth variant such as Gold or Rainbow is applied as a separate multiplier.
environmental = 1 + 69 = 70×

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.
