Sauced Mutation Grow a Garden
Sauced is tomato-glaze event weight at 35×—the cooking-chain opener traders memorize before Pasta Coated and Meatball Stacked finish the feast bracket.

Stacking rules
Sauced is environmental. Solo: 1 + (35 − 1) = 35. With Fried (23×) and Pasta Coated (43×): sum 101, count 3 → 99. Full feast with Meatball Stacked (51×): sum 152, count 4 → 149. No Sauced CONFLICT_PAIRS entry. Growth remains one winner outside the kitchen sum.

Sauced value by weight
Sauced applies a 35× 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 Sauced (35×) | Value added |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | 50 | 1.75K | +1.7K |
| 2 kg | 200 | 7K | +6.8K |
| 5 kg | 1.25K | 43.8K | +42.5K |
| 10 kg | 5K | 175K | +17K |

Sauce-phase harvests versus full-chain fantasies
If only Sauced lands before the cooking window shifts, the honest sell is bracket 35 with your growth choice—not a reserved meatball price. Holding for Pasta Coated pays only when that icon is still rolling on mature crops.
Fried shares cooking-event flavor and stacks freely with Sauced in the conflict map. Fall festival tags can appear the same week; Fall + Sauced → sum 60, count 2 → 59.
Listing sauce without multiplier storytelling
WFL posts that multiply 35 × 43 × 51 get corrected by anyone using cropValue. Show icons and a bracket readout. Heavy bases with Golden or Rainbow make Sauced alone respectable; light filler seeds need the fuller chain to look premium.
Sliced (8×) harvest-festival cuts are thematic neighbors, not required partners. Nothing forces a Sauced+Sliced pair, and nothing bans it. If Sliced + Sauced land together: sum 43, count 2 → bracket 42—modest padding that still follows [1 + (sum − count)], not a festival product formula. When Pasta Coated arrives next, recount immediately; each kitchen icon changes both sum and n.
Common questions
- Does Sauced stack with Meatball Stacked?
- Yes when both icons appear. They are separate stackable event environmental tags with no conflict pair in mutation-conflicts.ts.
- Is Sauced listed in weather.ts?
- No cooking or tomato-rain weather row exists there. Source the trigger from mutations.ts cooking-event wording and live harvest icons.
