Sunburst
Mutation
Ignited
Multiplier
60x
The Short Answer
Sunburst is a normal weather event listed for 5 minutes with an 8.3% chance. While active, it can apply the Ignited mutation to random crops.
Current mutation records list Ignited as a 60x environmental mutation. That puts it in the same planning tier as other high-value weather rolls: prepare before the event, inspect after the roll, and protect the result before selling.

How to Prepare
- Keep your highest-value crops watered, alive, and close to harvest before rare weather appears.
- Clear low-value filler if you want more mutation chances focused on valuable crops.
- Make room in your backpack so a good roll can be harvested quickly.
- Have defensive pets, props, or garden positioning ready before night starts.
- Compare base values in the crop database before deciding what to hold for the event.
Timing Plan
| Moment | Action | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Before Sunburst | Have high-value crops mature or nearly mature. | Ignited matters most when it lands on crops worth multiplying. |
| During Sunburst | Watch tags and keep inventory space open. | The event is short, so avoid sorting or selling filler crops during the window. |
| After a roll | Secure valuable Ignited fruit before night risk escalates. | A 60x mutation is worth protecting from public-server stealing. |
| If nothing rolls | Return to normal planting instead of waiting idle. | Rare weather should improve your loop, not stop it. |
When to Sell
The multiplier does not erase base value. Ignited on a weak crop is still a bonus, but Ignited on a strong crop is the result worth planning around. Use the crop value formula guide to decide whether the sale is strong enough or whether the crop should be protected for a better moment.
If night is close and you are in a public server, securing an Ignited crop can matter more than waiting for perfect timing. A stolen 60x crop has no value to your farm.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Waiting idle for Sunburst instead of farming through normal weather.
- Assuming every crop has the same payoff after a 60x mutation.
- Leaving high-value mutated fruit exposed during night stealing.
- Confusing Sunburst with older or unreleased weather names.
