Weather Effects
Night Atmosphere - Sky transforms to dark purple with moon and stars appearing overhead
Moonlit Mutation System - 6 crops automatically become Moonlit during each night cycle (one every 40 seconds over 4 minutes)
Natural Mutation Chance - All growing or fully-grown crops have ~15-20% chance to develop Moonlit mutation randomly
Enhanced by Night Staff - Night Staff placement guarantees 6 additional Moonlit mutations (12 total possible per night)
Visual Description
Dark purple skybox with bright moon and twinkling stars creating mystical nocturnal atmosphere. Crops gain distinctive purple-blue glow when affected by Moonlit mutation. Clair De Lune soundtrack plays during the event. The entire map bathes in moonlight creating ethereal nighttime ambiance with soft purple lighting effects illuminating the garden.

Best Way to Optimize
Night Staff Strategy - Deploy Night Staff (costs 12M 
from Sky Merchant) before night begins for guaranteed 6 additional Moonlit mutations. Fill garden completely with highest-value crops before night starts. Focus on expensive multi-harvest crops like Cacao and Dragon Fruit for maximum 2x multiplier profit. Don't harvest during night - let all mutations apply first, then collect systematically.

Predictable Timing - Night events follow strict schedule every 4 hours at XX:30 GMT, allowing perfect preparation timing
Night Staff Mechanics - Each staff has exactly 6 charges and works regardless of placement location, randomly selecting any crops in your garden
Blood Moon Potential - 33% chance for Blood Moon to replace regular Night, offering Bloodlit mutations (4x multiplier) instead
Meteor Shower Overlap - Night events often coincide with Meteor Showers, creating opportunities for Moonlit + Celestial mutation stacking (2x + 120x)
Timer Tracking - Check the small owl near Wise Old Owl in center map for exact countdown to next Night event
Community Secrets
