Sandy Mutation

Sandstorms coat crops in desert dust — Sandy is a humble env tag that desert-biome layouts and drought metas collect passively during dry season.

How to trigger

Sandy procs during Sandstorm and Desert Wind weather when dust clouds sweep plots. Cracked (10×) often accompanies extreme dry spells — Sandy is the lighter coating tier.

Stacking rules

Sandy is environmental at 3×. Stacks with Sundried, Cracked, Ember during heat-drought overlap. Conflicts with heavy Wet saturation — rain washes Sandy procs in some patches.

Drought stack basics

Sandy (3×) + Sundried (21×) + Cracked (10×): env sum 34, count 3, envBracket = 32 during prolonged drought. Golden (20×) growth on desert-layout crops monetizes dry season between storm chases.

Do not irrigate manually before harvest if chasing Sandy — Wet proc may overwrite dust coating.

Common questions

Sandy vs Cracked?
Both stack — Cracked is deeper drought fracture at 10× vs Sandy 3× dust coating.
Does rain remove Sandy?
Active Wet weather at harvest can prevent Sandy from appearing — farm Sandy during confirmed dry forecasts.
