mutations.ts: wild storm fury from tempest and gale force winds. weather.ts has no Tempest entry; Tornado lists Cyclonic and Windstruck, Windy lists Windstruck and Pollinated. Anchor Tempestous to the mutations.ts gale wording and verified wind companions—not to a fabricated forecast name.
Tempestous Mutation Grow a Garden
Tempestous is gale-force storm fury at 54× weather environmental—the high wind tier above Cyclonic’s 30× and Maelstrom’s 58× neighbor—built for compound wind brackets, not for invented Tempest weather rows.
How to trigger
Stacking rules
Tempestous is weather, stackable, environmental. Solo: 1 + (54 − 1) = 54. Tempestous + Windstruck (3×) → sum 57, n = 2 → 56. Tempestous + Cyclonic (30×) → sum 84, n = 2 → 83. Tempestous + Maelstrom (58×) → sum 112, n = 2 → 111. Tempestous + Cyclonic + Windstruck → sum 87, n = 3 → 85. No Tempestous CONFLICT_PAIRS rows. If Wet joins a storm stack, Frozen and Chilled stay blocked.

Tempestous value by weight
Tempestous applies a 54× 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 Tempestous (54×) | Value added |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | 50 | 2.7K | +2.65K |
| 2 kg | 200 | 10.8K | +10.6K |
| 5 kg | 1.25K | 67.5K | +66.3K |
| 10 kg | 5K | 27K | +265K |
Tempestous value impact
Wind escalation as sum, not product
Windstruck’s 3× looks trivial until you remember each env tag contributes (multiplier − 1) inside one bracket. Tempestous + Windstruck is 56, not 54 × 3. Cyclonic and Maelstrom are separate ids that may pad the same harvest when present.
Thunderstorm can overlay Wet and Shocked while wind tags persist from prior gusts. Shocked (125×) plus Tempestous is sum 179, n = 2 → 178—real compound value without claiming a published tempest-thunder hybrid weather id.
Trading wind stacks honestly
List the icons you harvested, not a story about gale minutes. Tornado screenshots support Cyclonic neighbors; Tempestous still needs its own catalog justification from mutations.ts.
Growth stays one slot. Tempestous never replaces Rainbow. Tiny growth would wreck the session even with a perfect 54× wind coat.
Common questions
- Is Tempestous on the Tornado weather row?
- No. Tornado lists Cyclonic and Windstruck. Tempestous is documented in mutations.ts as tempest/gale fury, not as a Tornado bonus string.
- Can Tempestous stack with Shocked?
- Yes when both environmental icons land. They share envBracket sum-and-count math and have no mutual conflict pair.
