Moonlit analysis
Moonlit appears during the recurring night cycle, which makes it one of the few genuinely passive mutations — leave crops planted overnight and it accumulates on its own. The ×2 is small, but the zero-effort acquisition makes it the definition of free value.
Overall ranking
#44 of 45Moonlit is the 44th-strongest mutation in the game and 13th of 14 in the Weather category. That is 15.0× below the median mutation multiplier of ×30.
Bracket contribution
+1Because the bracket is 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N, each mutation really adds its multiplier minus one. Moonlit therefore contributes +1 to the bracket, not ×2 on top of everything else — a common misreading when pricing trades.
Marginal gain when stacked
+0.5%Added to a Shocked + Celestial stack (a ×219 bracket), Moonlit raises it to ×220 — a 0.5% increase. Moonlit is marginal at ×2, worth only 0.5% on top of an existing stack, and it feeds no fusion. Treat it as incidental padding.
How to obtain
WeatherSource: Night / moon event. Night / moon event occurs often, so Moonlit accumulates without effort — treat it as background value rather than a target.
Where Moonlit sits in the ranking
The next mutation up is Choc (×2), worth 0 more to the bracket. Immediately below it is Windstruck (×2). If Moonlit is out of reach, that is the closest practical substitute.

Moonlit FAQ
How much does the Moonlit mutation multiply crop value?
Moonlit carries a ×2 multiplier, but inside the bracket formula 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N it actually contributes +1. On its own it gives a ×2 bracket; added to a Shocked + Celestial stack it takes you from ×219 to ×220.
How do you get the Moonlit mutation?
Moonlit comes from: Night / moon event. It is a Weather mutation, ranked #44 of 45 overall and 13th within its category.
Is Moonlit worth farming?
Moonlit sits at #44 of 45 with a ×2 multiplier, contributing +1 to the bracket. It feeds no fusion, so its ×2 is the whole of its value. Compared with Windstruck (×2) just below it, the gap is 0.
Can Moonlit stack with other mutations?
Yes. Moonlit stacks additively with other environmental mutations using 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N, but only one growth tier (Silver, Gold or Rainbow) can apply at a time.
