| Category: | Standard Weather |
| Duration: | 3-5 minutes (standard weather duration) |

| Mutation: | Sandy Mutation |
| Chance: | Random chance for crops during sandstorm / Crops hit by sand particles |
| Multiplier: | 3x |
Weather Effects
Sand Particle System - Sand particles fly around the map creating desert storm atmosphere
Yellow Environmental Tint - Adds yellow-tinted fog engulfing the entire map area
Ground Color Change - Makes the ground appear sandy-yellow during storm duration
Camera Shake Effect - Makes player's camera shake slowly during sandstorm activity
Visibility Impact - Sand particles and yellow fog create reduced visibility atmospheric effect
Visual Description
Intense desert storm atmosphere with sand particles flying everywhere creating yellow-tinted fog that engulfs the entire map. Ground transforms to sandy-yellow color mimicking desert conditions. Swirling sand effects with particle clouds create immersive sandstorm experience. Reduced visibility due to thick sandy atmosphere and yellow environmental filtering.

Best Way to Optimize
Combination Focus Strategy - Plant crops strategically to combine Sandy mutation with other mutations for enhanced effects. Clay Mutation Setup - Ensure some crops have Wet Mutation so Sandy can combine to create Clay Mutation (3x multiplier).
Tempestuous Preparation - Combine Sandy with Windstruck and Twisted for Tempestuous Mutation (12x multiplier).
Mass Planting - Fill garden with Divine and Prismatic rarity crops to maximize Sandy mutation opportunities.
Pro Tips
Visual Cues - Look for yellow-tinted fog, flying sand particles, and camera shake effects
Combination Potential - Sandy mutation is key ingredient in multiple combination mutations
Prehistoric Connection - Originally introduced to prepare landscape for Dinosaur-themed events
Community Secrets
Prehistoric Event Preparation - Introduced specifically to 'prep the lands' before dinosaur entrance in Prehistoric Event
Environmental Immersion - Designed to make players feel like they're in actual sandstorm ('had to blink dust out of eyes')
Combination System Hub - Sandy mutation serves as central component in multiple advanced mutation combinations
Visual Impact Focus - One of few weather events that dramatically changes ground color and overall map appearance
Standard Weather Transition - Moved from event-specific to standard weather rotation after Prehistoric Event concluded
Desert Theme Consistency - Maintains desert/prehistoric theme through visual effects and environmental changes
Camera Shake Pattern - Shares slow camera shake effect with other intense weather events like Tornado
Yellow Fog Uniqueness - Only weather event that specifically creates yellow environmental tinting effect
