Windstruck is the breeze scar at ×3 — a modest weather environmental tag that rarely headlines a trade, yet honestly pads storm and gale harvests when the icon actually shows.
Catalog text: crops buffeted by strong winds. Windy weather lists Windstruck with Pollinated; Tornado lists Windstruck with Cyclonic. Open rows help wind contact; skip invented perimeter-proc percentages the data does not publish.

Windstruck is environmental (weather) at ×3 and stackable. It pairs cleanly in the env bracket with Wet, Shocked, Cyclonic (×30), or Tempestous when those tags land. No Windstruck conflict pair exists. Growth remains exclusive among growth IDs. Remember Wet still conflicts with Frozen and Chilled if moisture and cold fight on the same plant.

Windstruck applies a 3× 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 Windstruck (3×) | Value added |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | 50 | 150 | +100 |
| 2 kg | 200 | 600 | +400 |
| 5 kg | 1.25K | 3.75K | +2.5K |
| 10 kg | 5K | 15K | +10K |
Windstruck alone: envBracket = 1 + (3 − 1) = 2. With Wet (×2) and Shocked (×125): sum 130, count 3, envBracket = 1 + (130 − 3) = 128. Windstruck’s net after the count penalty is only a couple of bracket points — free when it appears, not worth delaying a finished heavy harvest to chase alone.
Cyclonic during Tornado can sit beside Windstruck when both icons resolve. Tempestous is another wind-family env tag for harsher storm themes.
Use Windy or Tornado finishes if you already planned those forecasts. Do not reroll a Golden mid-teens crop solely for Windstruck; squared weight usually wins.
Pollinated can appear on the same Windy row. That is pet-path env value beside Windstruck, not a growth substitute for Verdant or Shiny.
