Mutations & Multipliers
Shop coating ladder from Rusty to Galaxy. Natural mutation odds are not confirmed, so they are left blank.
The documented multiplier ladder
Rusty x1.5, Frozen x1.75, Crystal x2, Void x2.25, Alien x3.25, Galaxy x5. Galaxy is the strongest shop coating in the current table.
| Mutation | Multiplier | Applied by | Coating cash cost | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rusty | x1.5 | Rust Coating | $10,000,000 | Source-reported · Sep 2, 2026 |
| Frozen | x1.75 | Frost Coating | $750,000,000 | Source-reported · Sep 2, 2026 |
| Crystal | x2 | Crystal Coating | $1,000,000,000 | Source-reported · Sep 2, 2026 |
| Void | x2.25 | Void Coating | $10,000,000,000 | Source-reported · Sep 2, 2026 |
| Alien | x3.25 | Alien Coating | $100,000,000,000 | Source-reported · Sep 2, 2026 |
| Galaxy | x5 | Galaxy Coating | $1,000,000,000,000 | Source-reported · Sep 2, 2026 |
Cleanser
Ore Cleanser costs $1,000,000 and removes a mutation from an ore. Use it when a low coating is blocking a better one. The shop does not auto-upgrade coatings for free (T-Rex’s ability is a separate pet roll).
Mutations multiply listed ore value in the profit calculator. That math is an estimate, not an official formula. Pets such as Snake, Unicorn, Polar Bear and T-Rex have mutation-adjacent abilities; treat those as extra rolls, not as replacements for Galaxy.
How a coating payback estimate is built
Take a base listed value (user input or Nichirin $6B). Current mutation multiplier defaults to x1. Target coating applies its listed multiplier. Incremental value per sell is (base × target) − (base × current). Sells-to-payback is ceil(coating cash cost / increment) when increment is positive. If you already have Galaxy, “upgrading” to Galaxy does not pay back. That arithmetic is an estimate, never an official formula.
Pets that touch mutations
Documented: Snake (every 240s, 20% chance to apply a random mutation to an unmutated ore, no admin mutation), Unicorn (every 240s, 25% chance, same restriction), Polar Bear (every 240s, 30% chance to apply Frozen), T-Rex (every 600s, 20% chance to upgrade a random ore’s mutation, no admin mutation). Those are not shop coatings and not natural-roll odds. They do not replace Galaxy if you can afford Galaxy and want a known x5.
Natural mutation odds
No percentage is listed for ores mutating on their own while growing. If you see a mutation you did not coat, treat it as something you observed in that session, not as a published rate.

FAQ
What are Sell Ores mutation multipliers?
Rusty x1.5, Frozen x1.75, Crystal x2, Void x2.25, Alien x3.25, Galaxy x5. These are shop-coating multipliers, not natural-roll odds.
