mutations.ts: weather category, multiplier 4, stackable true — morning dew droplets from dawn and mist weather. Fog and Night Breeze are published moisture/night-adjacent rows; neither invents a Dawn Mist weather id. Harvest in early light while dew beads remain visible rather than waiting through full midday clear.
Dewy Mutation Grow a Garden
Dewy is the dawn micro-tag — a 4× weather environmental coating that teaches bracket math long before anyone should chase Shocked screenshots.

How to trigger
Stacking rules
Dewy is environmental. Solo: envBracket = 1 + (4 − 1) = 4. No CONFLICT_PAIRS entry. It can pad beside Tranquil (15×), Moonlit (8×), Chilled (4×), or Wet (2×) when those icons land. Chilled still conflicts with Wet and Frozen — Dewy does not inherit those pairs. Growth remains exclusive.

Dewy value by weight
Dewy 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 Dewy (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 |

Micro-bracket lessons that scale later
Dewy + Moonlit: sum 12, count 2, envBracket = 1 + (12 − 2) = 11. Dewy + Tranquil: sum 19, count 2, envBracket = 18. On a 1.2 kg base-8,000 crop with Golden (20×) and Dewy alone: weight² = 1.44; 8,000 × 1.44 = 11,520; × 20 = 230,400; × 4 = 921,600 Sheckles before friend boost. The point is literacy — sum minus count — not premium WFL.
Wet (2×) can appear after rain follows dawn. Dewy + Wet: sum 6, count 2, envBracket = 5. That is not Dewy × Wet. If Frozen later conflicts with Wet, the conflict map touches Wet/Frozen, not Dewy itself.
When to bank dew versus wait
Bank Dewy on low-base tutorial plots once the icon is stable. On premium seeds, treat Dewy as optional padding while you wait for a stronger env partner or more kilograms — a fourth point of env rarely beats another half kilogram on light fruit.
Dawn-to-night transitions that also show Moonlit are the cleanest beginner double. Avoid storytelling that Dewy upgrades into Drenched or Wet automatically; those are separate IDs with separate multipliers.
Common questions
- Is Dewy stronger than Wet?
- Dewy’s multiplier is 4×; Wet is 2×. Both are environmental and can coexist. Neither replaces the other through a conflict pair.
- Should I farm Dewy on high-value crops?
- Usually as temporary padding. Prioritize growth winners and weight before camping a 4× dawn icon on whale seeds.
