Can Ember and Frozen both apply?

No. mutation-conflicts.ts lists Ember with Frozen, Chilled, and Frostbite as conflict pairs.

Does Wet conflict with Ember?

No. Wet’s conflicts are Frozen and Chilled (and Frozen’s other cold pairs). Ember and Wet are both allowed by the conflict map.

Ember Mutation Grow a Garden

Ember is the smoldering heat weather tag at 25×—the thermal env piece that actually carries documented cold conflicts. Stackable with other heat icons, illegal beside Frozen, Chilled, or Frostbite.

25×weatherStackable

How to trigger

mutations.ts: smoldering heat from sunny weather and heat waves. Named forecast sources are Clear Skies (Tranquil with Solar), Heat Wave (where Ember is the lead thermal bonus ahead of Solar and Burnt), and Volcanic Ash (Volcanic with Ember and Burnt). Prefer those names over invented “sunny proc rates.”

Stacking rules

Ember is weather-category, stackable, environmental—except CONFLICT_PAIRS block Ember with Frozen, Chilled, and Frostbite (bidirectional). Legal heat stacks still use growth × [1 + (sum env − count)]. Solo Ember → 1 + (25 − 1) = 25. Ember + Solar (22×) → 1 + (47 − 2) = 46. Ember + Burnt (12×) → 36 after sum 37 minus 2. Env tags do not multiply. Growth exclusivity unchanged. Wet is not in Ember’s conflict list.

Ember value by weight

Ember applies a 25× 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.

Ember value impact on a reference crop (base 50)
Weight	Base crop value	With Ember (25×)	Value added
1 kg	50	1.25K	+1.2K
2 kg	200	5K	+4.8K
5 kg	1.25K	31.3K	+30K
10 kg	5K	125K	+12K

Ember value impact

Why Ember’s cold ban matters more than Burnt’s lore

mutation-conflicts.ts names Ember—not Burnt or Solar—against Frozen, Chilled, and Frostbite. A crop cannot hold Ember and Frozen together in the selector. If you want blizzard value, drop Ember first; if you want heat, skip the cold trio.

Mega versus Tiny is a separate exclusive pair on growth-sized tags. Ember does not interact with Mega/Tiny beyond ordinary env-plus-growth stacking when those growth ids are chosen legally.

Building a legal heat bracket

A legal Heat Wave thermal set with Ember present can also carry Solar and Burnt. Sum 25 + 22 + 12 = 59, count 3, bracket 57, then multiply by one growth factor. That is the supported summer stack shape.

Clear Skies emphasizes Solar more than Ember in the bonus string; Ember’s description still cites sunny weather and heat waves. Trust harvest icons for the sum. Under Volcanic Ash, Volcanic can join Ember as another legal env partner when both icons appear.
