mutations.ts describes liquid magma veins from volcanic and forge events: event category, multiplier 60, stackable true. weather.ts Volcanic Ash lists Volcanic, Ember, and Burnt—not Molten—so do not treat Ash forecasts as a guaranteed Molten proc. Use event copy and the harvest tag list; unpublished forge timers stay unpublished.
Molten Mutation Grow a Garden
Molten is liquid-magma event paint at 60×—hotter thematically than Volcanic Ash weather tags, but still ordinary environmental bracket math, not a free pass to invent thermal conflict rules.

How to trigger
Stacking rules
Molten is environmental. Solo: 1 + (60 − 1) = 60. With Volcanic (38×): sum 98, count 2 → 97. Add Infernal (67×): sum 165, count 3 → 163. Molten is not in CONFLICT_PAIRS. Ember—not Molten—conflicts with Frozen, Chilled, and Frostbite. Growth remains exclusive and separate. Never multiply 60 × 38 × 67.

Molten value by weight
Molten applies a 60× 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 Molten (60×) | Value added |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | 50 | 3K | +2.95K |
| 2 kg | 200 | 12K | +11.8K |
| 5 kg | 1.25K | 75K | +73.8K |
| 10 kg | 5K | 3K | +295K |
Molten value impact
Magma neighbors without fake ice bans
Old guides claimed Molten deletes Frozen. The conflict map only blocks Ember against cold moisture tags. A Molten + Frozen pair is legal in selection logic even if thematically odd; Ember + Frozen is not. Plan heat stacks around documented Ember rules, not magma flavor text.
Volcanic (38×) and Infernal (67×) are natural event cousins when eruption arcs run. Blazing (57× weather) and Burnt (12×) can pad the same env bracket if they appear. Count icons for [1 + (sum − count)]; three mid-high heat tags look explosive only if you wrongly multiply them.
Ash weather versus Molten event id
Volcanic Ash is the documented heat-cloud weather for Volcanic/Ember/Burnt. Molten’s catalog line points at volcanic and forge events as a separate event id. Harvesting Ash crops with Volcanic but no Molten icon is expected—do not pad listings with a Molten claim the snapshot lacks.
On heavy bases, Molten plus one clean growth winner (Golden 20× or Rainbow 50×) usually beats camping for a third weak env tag that costs kilograms. Run the calculator with weight squared before treating 60× as leaderboard automatic.
Common questions
- Does Molten conflict with Frozen?
- No. mutation-conflicts.ts does not list Molten against Frozen. Ember conflicts with Frozen, Chilled, and Frostbite—do not copy those bans onto Molten.
- Is Molten listed under Volcanic Ash in weather.ts?
- No. Volcanic Ash bonuses are Volcanic, Ember, and Burnt. Molten is a separate event mutation in mutations.ts.
