Ceramic Mutation Grow a Garden
Ceramic glazes the harvest like kiln pottery—37× event environmental craft weight that artisan weekends trade on aesthetics and bracket math, not volcanic magma myths.

How to trigger
Stacking rules
Ceramic is environmental and stackable. Solo → 37. Ceramic + Fried (23×) → sum 60, count 2 → 59. Ceramic + Burnt (12×) → sum 49, count 2 → 48. Ceramic + Molten (60×) → sum 97, count 2 → 96. Growth exclusivity separate. Ceramic has no CONFLICT_PAIRS entry.

Ceramic value by weight
Ceramic applies a 37× multiplier in the event bracket. The table below shows the value it adds to a reference crop (base 50) across common harvest weights, so you can gauge how much this tag is worth before chasing it.
| Weight | Base crop value | With Ceramic (37×) | Value added |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | 50 | 1.85K | +1.8K |
| 2 kg | 200 | 7.4K | +7.2K |
| 5 kg | 1.25K | 46.3K | +45K |
| 10 kg | 5K | 185K | +18K |
Ceramic value impact
Craft glaze versus forge magma
Molten’s liquid magma veins and Ceramic’s pottery shell share craft-fire storytelling but remain separate env ids. Dual icons use sum-and-count math. Calling Ceramic a “Molten downgrade” misstates 37 versus 60 as a replacement path the conflict map does not define.
Fried often appears in cooking-craft crossover weeks. Ceramic + Fried is bracket 59 before growth—useful mid-tier padding, still not 37 × 23. Add Burnt (12×) as a third heat-craft icon and the bracket becomes 1 + (37 + 23 + 12 − 3) = 70 before the growth factor.
Heat neighbors without Ember cold bans
Burnt can sit beside Ceramic without a dedicated conflict. Ember’s bans against Frozen, Chilled, and Frostbite only matter if Ember is also on the crop. Ceramic alone does not lock out cold tags, and Ceramic itself never occupies the exclusive growth lane.
Finish kiln-event crops while the glaze icon is visible. Off-event pottery claims without UI proof price like cosmetics, not 37× environmental value. Keep Rainbow or Golden as the single growth winner when you want the full craft harvest line.
Common questions
- Does Ceramic conflict with Molten?
- Kiln glaze and forge magma stay legal together. Nothing in the conflict map blocks that duo, so dual icons both enter 1 + (sum − count).
- Is Ceramic a growth mutation?
- No. It is event-category at 37× and stackable. Growth tags apply separately as the single growth multiplier.
