⚡ What Torpor does
Every Night-type plant within 32 studs of the Dormouse grows 1.4 times as fast. There is no cooldown or roll. As long as the Dormouse is out, the boost applies.
Because it is so early in the pass and costs little to feed (5,000 hunger), it's an easy pick for anyone growing Night crops.

| 25 kg | 3× | 38.25 studs |
| 50 kg | 3× | 44.5 studs |
| 100 kg | 3× | 57 studs |
The speed boost maxes out almost at once: it rises 0.1× per kilogram and hits the 3× cap at just 16 kg. After that, extra weight only widens the area, by a quarter stud per kilogram, to 57 studs at 100 kg. The 60-stud cap needs about 190 kg.
