The Meatball mutation in Roblox: Grow a Garden is a unique transformation that can significantly increase the value of your crops. It is one of several mutations designed to make your crops more profitable.
A crop with the Meatball Mutation visually emits bouncing or popping meatballs from its top.
Grow a Garden Meatball Mutation provides a x3 multiplier to your crop’s base sale value. This means a fruit with this mutation will sell for three times its normal price.
How to Obtain Grow a Garden Meatball Mutation
Spaghetti Sloth
The Meatball mutation is exclusively applied by the Spaghetti Sloth pet.
Unlike many other mutations, it is not tied to general weather events, specific gears (other than the pet itself), or special seeds.
The Spaghetti Sloth is a mythical and limited-time pet that can be hatched from a Gourmet Egg. The Spaghetti Sloth has a 4% chance of hatching from a Gourmet Egg.
Among the three mutations applied by the Spaghetti Sloth (Pasta, Sauce, Meatball), Meatball is considered the rarest to obtain and provides the highest individual multiplier (though they are all x3).
Spaghetti Mutation
Grow a Garden Meatball Mutation is a crucial component in creating a more valuable combined mutation. If a crop simultaneously acquires the Meatball, Sauce, and Pasta mutations, these three will combine to form the Spaghetti mutation.
The Spaghetti mutation offers a higher multiplier of x15 Sheckles. The Spaghetti Sloth is the only pet capable of applying all four of these specific mutations (Pasta, Sauce, Meatball, and Spaghetti).
While the Meatball mutation itself has a x3 multiplier, its ability to combine with Pasta and Sauce into the x15 Spaghetti mutation is where its true stacking potential lies.
However, it’s important to note that once the Spaghetti mutation is formed, the individual Meatball, Sauce, and Pasta mutations are removed and cannot be re-applied to that specific crop.
