How to use Gold Moon

Best crop setup Keep high-value crops planted only if you can defend them during the night window.
Seed chance Gold Seeds are an opportunity, but do not abandon a safer plan if your garden is exposed.
Stealing choice Midas's Luck can make the first steal golden, but stolen fruit still has to be carried home.
After the event Open the calculator before selling a Gold result because base value, quantity, and mutation trigger all matter.

Gold Moon decision checks

Protect first Night events can create rare outcomes, but losing a crop can cost more than the event gives back.
Use crop value Open values before forcing an event plan around a low-value crop.
Check after updates Moon behavior can change quickly, so confirm the current event behavior before reshaping your plan.

Gold Moon is a short night-window decision. The event can change what you look for, but it does not remove stealing risk, carry-home risk, or the need to protect expensive crops.

Use this page when the question is specific: what Gold Moon does, what to prepare, and when to defend instead of chasing another opportunity.
