💰 Worked Examples: Veil on a Sunflower
Numbers use the site formula Base × (Weight/BaseWeight)² × Growth × (1 + Σmutations − count) and Sunflower's listed base. Plug a live crop into the Grow a Garden calculator for other weights.
🔗 Stacking & Best Combos
Once Veil is on a fruit it follows the additive rule with other non-growth mutations: 1 + Σ(multipliers) − count. Gold (×20) or Rainbow (×50) then multiplies that total. Cleaning Spray (Gear Shop, listed on stock) can strip mutations if you need to rebuild a fusion.

❓ FAQ
Does Veil use the homepage calculator formula?
Yes. Veil is a fruit modifier at ×14, not a crop and not a pet. Plug it into the Grow a Garden calculator with a real kg. This FAQ does not repeat the intro paragraph.
How do you get the Veil mutation?
Can be applied by the Shadow Dragon pet. It casts a dark veil over the crop.
Does Veil stack with Gold or Rainbow?
Yes. Veil is not a growth mutation, so Gold (×20) or Rainbow (×50) can multiply it. With other environmental mutations it uses 1 + Σ − count first, then growth.
What crop should I put Veil on?
Any crop uses the same multiplier. Worked examples on this page use Sunflower (50,138₡ at 8.55 kg) because that crop is also the Dawnbound reference. Weight² usually moves the number more than swapping a mid-tier crop.
Plug Veil into any crop, weight, and mutation stack for the real number.
