guide
A mutation freshness guide for deciding when update notes justify changing a mutation plan and when the current route should stay put.
Short answer
You should change mutations after a Grow a Garden update only if the update affects your crop route, mutation value, or the route problem the mutation was solving.
This is the fastest direct answer for readers who want the result first and the longer route logic second.
Use these pages when the short answer turns into a more specific choice.

Editor notes
A new update is not automatically a mutation change. It matters only if it touches the crop, value, timing, or route pressure connected to your mutation plan.
If your route still works and the update does not affect the mutation logic, changing may add risk without improving progress.
When the update does affect mutation value, compare the current option against one challenger instead of rebuilding the whole mutation plan.
