Stacking rules
Cracked is environmental at 10×. Stacks with Sandy, Sundried, Ember. Opposes Drenched/Wet saturation.
Cracked value impact
Dry spell stacks
Cracked envBracket = 10. Cracked + Sandy (3×) + Sundried (21×): env sum 34, count 3, envBracket = 32. Drought weeks provide predictable env farming between chaotic storm seasons.
Avoid irrigation on drought crops — Wet proc removes cracked path.
Pair Cracked stacks with Ember (25×) when heat-drought overlap hits for envBracket 56 — solid summer alternative when thunder RNG fails.
Common questions
- Cracked vs Sandy?
- Both stack — Sandy dust 3×, Cracked fracture 10×.
- Cracked heal?
- No heal mechanic — drought flag must persist through harvest.
