Mutation Mechanics & Probabilities

Understanding the core mechanics of mutation and how to influence outcomes

Mutation Basics

Mutations are random genetic variations that can occur in both plants and pets, resulting in unique characteristics, enhanced abilities, and increased value. Understanding the factors that influence mutation probability is key to successful breeding.

Factors Influencing Mutations

  • Genetics: The genetic makeup of parent plants or pets is the primary factor.
  • Environment: Weather, soil conditions, and garden layout can influence mutation rates.
  • Catalysts: Special items and fertilizers can be used to increase mutation chances.
  • Breeding Combinations: Specific pairings of plants or pets can unlock unique mutations.

Mutation Probability

Mutation probabilities are complex and influenced by multiple variables. While there is always an element of chance, strategic breeding can significantly increase the likelihood of desired outcomes. This guide provides detailed probability charts and calculators to help you optimize your breeding strategies.

Advanced Breeding Strategies

Selective Breeding

Focus on breeding individuals with desired traits to reinforce those characteristics in subsequent generations. This is a long-term strategy that requires patience and careful record-keeping.

Use mutation catalysts strategically to maximize the chances of desired mutations while minimizing costs.

Cross-Breeding

Combine different species or strains to create new hybrid varieties with unique combinations of traits. This can lead to unexpected and valuable discoveries.

Experiment with different environmental conditions to unlock hidden genetic potential in your breeding stock.
