Acid rain deals 0.45. Scorching sun deals 0.45. Thunder hits every 6–8 ticks with power 10 against crops and buildings. A ground row of Chinese Cabbage in month 1 is wasted gold unless you layer protection.
Keratinized ignores acid and pays a yield tax. Needle-leaf is for heat. Lightning rods answer thunder, not acid. Platforms and indoor rooms block weather; a decorative awning is not a greenhouse. Do not wait for a late indoor room to save week-one Endyam.
Read the icon
Light Rain the season is not acid rain the weather. Month 1 can still throw acid at an in-season field.
- Ordinary rain is wet. Acid rain, scorching sun, and thunderstorms are the three that hurt crops.
- Inspect with E for weather stress before you assume a crop is slow.
Layer the farm
- Keratinized outdoors in Light Rain if you lack indoor space. Mix one protected row and one greedy row.
- Basins on platforms get plants off mud. Indoor rooms block weather.
- Lightning rods on the highest deck. They do not stop acid or sun.
- Fences and raised basins stop teeth. Troughs can be full and a pheasant still paths onto ground plants.
The numbers, and what to open next
Acid rain deals 0.45. Scorching sun deals 0.45. Thunder hits every 6–8 ticks with power 10 against crops and buildings. Endyam sells for 40 gold and rolls Keratinized at 0.45 — that is why early game ranks it first outdoors. Chinese Cabbage sells for 130 and dies naked. Pumpkin sells for 360 and still dies naked. Crop profit subtracts seed from fruit without weather. This page adds the weather. Gene planner shows whether the seed can even roll the trait. Farming covers basins and the four 28-day months.
Lightning rods do not stop acid. Keratinized does not protect the player. Player protection is platforms, water, timing, and bracelets whose text mentions acid or radiation immunity. Radiation is Old City’s line. Wetland’s headline is acid. Farm build places rods on the highest deck and animals in their own column. Automation will not stop weather or teeth. Events will not let you plant watermelon in month 1. Inspect with E before you assume the plant is only slow.

AutomationFrequently asked questions
Does a roof stop acid?
Platforms and indoor rooms block weather. A decorative awning is not automatically a greenhouse.
Every early crop Keratinized?
In Light Rain without indoor space, yes, and you pay a yield tax. Mix one protected row and one greedy row.
Do lightning rods stop burns?
They answer thunder, not acid rain. Place them before you stack metal machines on the roof.
Does Keratinized protect the player?
No. It is a crop gene. Player protection is platforms, water, timing, and bracelets whose text mentions acid or radiation immunity.
Is Light Rain the same as acid rain?
No. Light Rain is a 28-day season. Acid rain is a weather icon that deals 0.45. Month 1 can still throw acid at an in-season field.
Do bots stop weather?
No. Sprinklers blink when power dies. Weather still wants cover, genes, or indoor rooms.
