How to use Rainbow Moon

Best crop setup Use crops whose base value is strong enough for Rainbow outcomes to matter.
Pet chance Treat the rainbow pet chance as a bonus, not the whole plan.
Stealing choice A rainbow steal can be tempting, but the carry-home and recovery rules still apply.
After the event Compare the Rainbow result against seed cost, night risk, and the next restock target.

Rainbow 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.

Rainbow 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 Rainbow Moon does, what to prepare, and when to defend instead of chasing another opportunity.
