What Is Lightning?
Lightning is a concrete weather event players watch for because it changes crop growth, mutation chances, stealing, or seed spawns while the event is active. The listed duration is 5 minutes, and the listed effect is: chance to apply the Electric mutation to crops. The player question is not where to read a full weather guide. It is what to do when Lightning appears on the server. If the event affects crop growth, keep plants growing during the timer. If it applies a mutation, check harvested fruit names and sale values after the event. If it spawns seeds or status effects, check the map and the player status before stealing. Use this page as the entity record for Lightning. The page does not claim a full route, exact spawn chance, or guaranteed payout. Server timing, admin overrides, event prompt wording, and mutation application rules need live checks whenever the game updates.
How To Get Lightning
Lightning occurs as a weather or night event rather than a shop item. Players do not buy it like a seed or gear item. Watch the live server sky, event prompt, and weather UI for the Lightning state. If Lightning spawns seeds or applies a player status, the action happens during the event window. The exact spawn point, player selection, and trigger chance are not guaranteed by the entity row.
Lightning Abilities
Lightning's listed effect is: chance to apply the Electric mutation to crops. That is the current mechanic boundary for the entity. It can affect plant growth, crop mutations, seed spawns, or stealing outcomes depending on the row. Do not assume the effect always hits every crop or every player. Check whether the event applies to planted crops, harvested fruit, stolen fruit, random crop targets, or map pickups before making route claims.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Concrete event row: Lightning has a named row with duration and effect, so it can be tracked as one event entity.
- Direct player action: Lightning gives players a clear live check: watch the timer, confirm the effect, and inspect crop or seed results before selling.
Cons
- Spawn chance not fixed here: Lightning's spawn rate and admin override behavior are not confirmed in this entity file.
- Effect targeting needs live testing: The item card names the effect, but it does not prove whether every crop, one random crop, the owner only, or a stolen fruit receives the result.

Lightning Entity Role
Lightning is written as an event entity because it has its own name, timer, and effect. It is not a general weather guide.
Live Check
When Lightning starts, check the event prompt, sky change, timer, and resulting crop names. Those live signals decide whether the listed effect is active in that server.
Boundary
Exact spawn rate, admin-trigger behavior, stacking with other weather, and mutation payout formulas belong in guide or calculator content, not in this entity page.
