Does Aerate apply mutations or water crops?

No. Aerate only improves soil quality slightly. Wet mutation, watering, and fertilizer-style effects belong to other pets such as Goldfish, Duckling, or Snail.

Is Worm worth aging to 100?

Age 100 caps weight at 2 kg from a 0.2 kg hatch—ten times hatch, as the formula always does. That is a tiny flex. Age Worm if the slot stays filled; otherwise redirect XP to pets whose abilities scale into clearer mid-game roles.

Worm is a quiet common foundation pet: Aerate improves soil quality slightly, offering a soft background nudge rather than flashy mutations, sell multipliers, or weather plays.

Worm weight progression

Worm hatches at 0.2 kg and grows with the formula W = (hatch ÷ 11) × (age + 10). The table below projects its weight at each age milestone so you can plan trade timing and weight targets.

Worm weight by age
Age	Projected weight
Age 1	0.20 kg
Age 25	0.64 kg
Age 50	1.09 kg
Age 75	1.55 kg
Age 100	2.00 kg
Age 125	2.45 kg

Playstyle

Use Worm on long-growth plots where soil quality might matter over hours—roots, slow vegetables, or early tree experiments—then graduate to clearer category pets such as Koala for trees when they hatch. Fast flip crops rarely showcase a slight soil buff. Editorial tier D and common rarity both signal early-roster utility; neither is a trade premium claim. Mouse and Snail occupy nearby low-tier common niches with different abilities (growth nibble versus minimal fertilizer trail).

Weight & trading

Hatch 0.2 kg is among the lightest commons (Small classification). Under W = (hatch ÷ 11) × (age + 10), age 50 is only about 1.09 kg and age 100 reaches exactly 2 kg. Weight investment yields little flex; treat aging as mild ability-score growth, not a collector showcase.

Aerate improves soil quality slightly. The roster does not define soil quality’s exact yield formula, stack behavior with fertilizers, or category restrictions. Do not invent percentage sell gains—describe Aerate as a slight soil improvement and confirm any deeper soil UI text in-game.

Slight soil help on long timers

Slight effects need time and a plot that cares about soil. Parking Worm on a five-minute lettuce cycle is usually a wasted common slot compared with watering, pest, or seed helpers.

When you later add pets with explicit crop-category bonuses, reassess whether the soil nudge still earns its slot. Conditional value is the honest framing while soil math stays thinly documented.

Common rarity and editorial D

Common rarity places Worm early in many gardens; editorial D ranks its independent impact near the bottom of this site’s letter scale. Those labels can agree without telling you a Sheckle price.

Collectors finishing common sets may still want Worm for completeness. Ability-focused players should move on once stronger soil or growth pets arrive—without waiting for invented upgrade thresholds.
