Weather Events

Mutation:Spawns Strange Weather → Strange (2×)

Mutated Weather Event

Spawn:Every 30 minutes

Mutated Weather is a recurring IGMA event that fires every 30 minutes (added v1.3.0). It is an event, not a standalone weather type — when it activates, Strange Weather automatically spawns, giving all crops a chance at the Strange mutation (2×). Simultaneously, Rosalind and two other IGMA agents land by helicopter above the Seed Shop area. Submit Strange-mutated fruits to the IGMA head to earn permanent milestone rewards — points are based on fruit rarity (common=1, uncommon=2, rare=3, epic=4, legendary=5) and never reset. See Rosalind's NPC page for the full reward table.

Strange Weather

Mutation:Strange (2×)

Spawn:After Cthulhu kill / every 30 min (Mutated Weather)

Strange Weather is a special weather event that triggers in two situations: immediately after the community defeats Cthulhu during Heavy Rain, and every 30 minutes when Mutated Weather activates. It applies the Strange mutation (2×) to crops. In both cases, keep your plants in the ground to collect Strange mutations.

Heavy Rain

Mutation:Ancient (7.5×)

Spawn:TBA

Heavy Rain is a new weather event introduced in the Mythical Update (March 14, 2026). When it begins, a giant Cthulhu entity spawns on the island. Hit it with your Shovel — each hit deals 5 damage. Cthulhu periodically attacks and applies the Ancient mutation (7.5×, green) to nearby fruits. If the community kills Cthulhu, everyone on the server receives a Lumenbark seed (Legendary) and Strange Weather immediately follows.

DJ Kine

Mutation:Party (11.5×)

Growth:+100% Grow Speed

DJ Kine drops the beat! Higher PARTY Fruit Chance! An admin-only weather event with +100% growth speed boost and the powerful Party mutation (11.5×). First appeared live during the March 7, 2026 Admin Abuse event. One of the most powerful weather events in Garden Horizons.

Mutation:Salad (10×) / Banned (10×)

Beam Clash

Growth:None

Beam Clash was a one-time spectacle during the March 1st Admin Abuse event. Tim struck the map with a giant hammer, triggering a massive shockwave that applied Salad or Banned mutations to crops across the island. Originally 20× at launch, both were silently nerfed to 10× — now equal to Meteoric. No growth speed boost, just raw mutation power.

Mutation:None (collect fruit for points → rewards)

Also features a massive +100% growth speed boost with no mutations.

Meteor Shower

Mutation:Meteoric (10×)

Meteors rain from the sky, striking crops with the Meteoric mutation — the highest single multiplier in the game at 10×. This is an admin-only event that does not spawn naturally.

Tsunami

Mutation:Tidal (2×)

Growth:+0% Grow Speed

Massive tsunami waves sweep across the entire island during this admin-only weather event. The waves visually crash through your garden, and any crops they pass over have a 2.5% chance of receiving the Tidal mutation (2×). Does not destroy or remove plants — purely a mutation event. Does not spawn naturally.

Mutation:None (drops seeds)
