Rare Event

Storm

Rain falls from the sky as lightning occasionally strikes fruits applying the Shocked mutation. Still the best natural weather but rebalanced in the Islands Update — mutation chance dropped from 2.5% to 1.75% per plant per tick. Retains the +50% growth speed boost.

Planting Strategy

Prime planting window. +50% growth speed and Shocked (4.5×) at 1.75% chance — still the highest mutation chance of any natural weather. Plant your most expensive seeds (Cabbage, Wheat, Cherry) but fill every slot possible since the chance nerf makes plot density more important than ever. 20-minute cooldown means it won't appear back-to-back.
