Mutation Price Calculator

Understanding how mutation prices work is crucial for maximizing your profits. Here's the formula:

Total Price = Fruit Constant × Mass² × Growth Mutation × (1 + ∑ Mutations - Number of Mutations)

Calculation Example: For a crop with Gold (x20) and Wet (x2) mutations:
If Fruit Constant = 10, Mass = 2, Growth Mutation = 1.5:
10 × 2² × 1.5 × (1 + 20 + 2 - 2) = 10 × 4 × 1.5 × 21 = 1,260
