mutations.ts lists Corrupt as event-category, multiplier 36, stackable true: raw corruption aura from shadow rifts and cursed events. Corrupted (32×) is the separate Halloween/shadow-event ID. Plant so maturity overlaps the announced rift or cursed window; do not treat Blood Moon Corrupted listings as automatic Corrupt proof.
Corrupt Mutation Grow a Garden
Corrupt is the raw rift aura — a 36× event environmental tag that shares a dark theme with Halloween Corrupted but uses a different catalog ID, multiplier, and proc description.
How to trigger
Stacking rules
Corrupt is environmental. Solo: envBracket = 1 + (36 − 1) = 36. No CONFLICT_PAIRS entry names Corrupt. It can sit beside Corrupted (32×), Void (75×), or Infected (18×) in the env sum when those tags land. Growth stays one highest growth mutation only. Do not invent holy-vs-dark wipe rules that block Blessed simply because the themes oppose.

Corrupt value by weight
Corrupt applies a 36× 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 Corrupt (36×) | Value added |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | 50 | 1.8K | +1.75K |
| 2 kg | 200 | 7.2K | +7K |
| 5 kg | 1.25K | 45K | +43.8K |
| 10 kg | 5K | 18K | +175K |
Corrupt value impact
Rift ID versus Halloween ID
Corrupt + Corrupted: sum 68, count 2, envBracket = 1 + (68 − 2) = 67. Traders often quote one name for both — check the harvest icon string. Adding Void pushes sum 143, count 3, envBracket = 141. That is still one environmental bracket factor in baseValue × weight² × growth × envBracket.
Work a concrete sell case: base 25,000, 1.5 kg (weight² = 2.25), Rainbow (50×), Corrupt alone (36). 25,000 × 2.25 = 56,250; × 50 = 2,812,500; × 36 = 101,250,000 Sheckles before friend boost. When Corrupted joins, the shared dark pair lands at bracket 67 on that crop—never a 36 × 32 product.
Short cursed windows, fast seeds
Cursed and rift banners are often shorter than full Halloween calendars. Prefer fast-grow plots started before the announcement over premium seeds planted after the rift opens. Screenshot the event name with the Corrupt icon — buyers price provenance on dark tags.
Infected (18×) pads fungal-horror crossover weeks without replacing Corrupt. If only Corrupt is present and a second dark flag is still rolling, waiting can raise the env sum; if the rift is ending, bank the 36× bracket rather than gambling an unconfirmed second icon.
Common questions
- Are Corrupt and Corrupted the same mutation?
- No. Separate IDs: Corrupt is 36× (rift/cursed events) and Corrupted is 32× (Halloween/shadow events). Both are stackable environmental tags with no conflict pair between them.
- Can Corrupt share a crop with Blessed?
- Nothing in mutation-conflicts.ts blocks that pair. If both icons appear in the harvest snapshot, both enter the env sum; thematic opposition is not a coded wipe.
