Weather mutation
Flooded Mutation in Garden Horizons
Flooded is a Rain-triggered mutation with a 1.75x multiplier. It is incompatible with Soaked — a crop cannot have both. Flooded is the mid-tier Rain mutation, sitting between Tidal (2x) and Soaked (1.25x).
Quick summary
Flooded applies a 1.75x value multiplier. It is triggered by Rain weather and is incompatible with Soaked — you cannot have both on the same crop.
Systems guide
Value impact, triggers, and use cases
Mechanic pages should read like a systems manual: what matters, what activates it, and when to act.
Value impact
Flooded at 1.75x is a reliable mid-tier multiplier. Since Rain is frequent, Flooded opportunities are common. The Soaked incompatibility means a crop gets either Flooded or Soaked from Rain, never both — and Flooded is the better outcome at 1.75x vs 1.25x.
Trigger conditions
- • Flooded is triggered by Rain weather events.
- • It competes with Soaked on the same crop — only one can be active.
- • Flooded is the higher-value of the two incompatible Rain mutations.
Best use cases
- • Target Flooded on high-value crops during Rain — the 1.75x matters more on expensive harvests.
- • Stack Flooded with Tidal (2x) for compound Rain multipliers — they are fully compatible.
- • If a crop already has Soaked, it cannot gain Flooded, so check crop state before counting on it.

Why can't a crop have both Flooded and Soaked?
Flooded (1.75x) and Soaked (1.25x) are incompatible mutations in Garden Horizons. A crop can only have one of the two from Rain. Flooded is the better outcome since it has the higher multiplier.
Can Flooded stack with Tidal?
Yes. Flooded and Tidal are fully compatible. A crop can have both Tidal (2x) and Flooded (1.75x) from the same Rain event for a powerful compound multiplier.
What is the Flooded mutation multiplier compared to other Rain mutations?
Flooded sits at 1.75x, between Tidal (2x) and Soaked (1.25x). When stacked with Tidal, the compound multiplier reaches 3.5x on a single crop. Flooded is incompatible with Soaked, so a crop receives one or the other — Flooded is always the better outcome.
