Chilled is light-frost weather tagging at 4×—the entry cold environmental that teaches wet/cold exclusivity before Frozen or Frostbite ever enter the snapshot.
mutations.ts: light frost from cold mornings and drizzle. Weather category, 4×, stackable true. weather.ts lists Chilled under Snow, Blizzard, and Overcast. Keep crops exposed through those forecasts; unpublished penguin proc rates are not in the data files.

Chilled is weather environmental and stackable, but CONFLICT_PAIRS block Wet↔Chilled, Frozen↔Chilled, and Ember↔Chilled. Solo Chilled → 1 + (4 − 1) = 4. Chilled + Frostbite (11×) is legal (no chilled/frostbite pair) → sum 15, count 2 → 14. Chilled + Subzero (34×) → sum 38, count 2 → 37. Growth exclusivity separate. Never keep Wet or Frozen beside Chilled.

Chilled applies a 4× multiplier in the weather 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 Chilled (4×) | Value added |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | 50 | 200 | +150 |
| 2 kg | 200 | 800 | +600 |
| 5 kg | 1.25K | 5K | +3.75K |
| 10 kg | 5K | 20K | +15K |
Players expect Wet + Chilled morning drizzle stacks. The conflict map forbids it. Frozen also replaces the Chilled path—Frozen↔Chilled is blocked—so blizzard escalation that applies Frozen drops Chilled rather than multiplying cold tags.
Frostbite conflicts with Frozen and Ember, not with Chilled. A Chilled + Frostbite harvest is valid bracket math when Wet and Frozen are absent. Ember heat cannot share the crop with Chilled, and solo Chilled never multiplies against other env tags.
Solo Chilled is modest padding: bracket 4. On a crop with Golden (20× growth), Chilled multiplies the env bracket after growth—it does not become a second growth tier. Prefer waiting for Frostbite or Subzero only when those icons are realistically available without forcing Wet.
Overcast offers Chilled beside Shadowed; Snow and Blizzard list Frozen and Frostbite routes that may overwrite Chilled. Harvest on the icon set you want, not on the weather name alone, and verify growth × [1 + (sum − count)] before listing.
