→Gem Birds
:An excellent question, I don't know the answer. In all my playthroughs, I've always gone straight to the area where I needed the gem, and found the bird. Or else, I forgot about the puzzle entirely, and have no memory of what happened (was there a duplicate bird, or no bird?) If you have save files with an incomplete puzzle, in-game testing might give the answer more quickly than a code dive.

::Thanks. My current active game does have an incomplete puzzle. At the fourth bird, I entered the fourth area, much as you do, and found the bird there, but I abandoned that play mid-day, no save. (It happens. I generally am unable to continue play beyond one game day at a time. So, forget about trains in SV, too.) I don't remember whether, in my replayed game day, I went to Ginger Island or not. But the next rainy game day, the same one or another, the bird was not in the one remaining area I needed. Intrigued, I searched and found it in the first area I had ever found a bird, and there it was. Since then, successive rainy days have produced birds that have followed the same succession of locations I first encountered! (Isn't that rather a coincidence? Or is it?) I have yet to reach the fourth day since I missed. Watch this space for developments. I rather think I'll need to replay from various saved days in order to sort out the details. I didn't even know there were questions when I took my first pass, and haven't remembered other details that might pertain. I need to explore what's relevant and what's not also.

:::The location of Gem Birds should be random. Here are parts of relating codes:
:::<syntaxhighlight lang="C#">
if (IsMasterGame && (bool)netWorldState.Value.GetWeatherForLocation(GameLocation.LocationContext.Island).isRaining)
{
Vector2 tile_location = new Vector2(0f, 0f);
IslandLocation island_location = null;
List<int> order = new List<int>();
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
order.Add(i);
}
Utility.Shuffle(new Random((int)uniqueIDForThisGame), order);
switch (order[currentGemBirdIndex])
{
case 0:
island_location = getLocationFromName("IslandSouth") as IslandLocation;
tile_location = new Vector2(10f, 30f);
break;
case 1:
island_location = getLocationFromName("IslandNorth") as IslandLocation;
tile_location = new Vector2(56f, 56f);
break;
case 2:
island_location = getLocationFromName("Islandwest") as IslandLocation;
tile_location = new Vector2(53f, 51f);
break;
case 3:
island_location = getLocationFromName("IslandEast") as IslandLocation;
tile_location = new Vector2(21f, 35f);
break;
}
currentGemBirdIndex = (currentGemBirdIndex + 1) % 4;
if (island_location != null)
{
island_location.locationGemBird.Value = new IslandGemBird(tile_location, IslandGemBird.GetBirdTypeForLocation(island_location.Name));
}
}
</syntaxhighlight>
:::"uniqueIDForThisGame" changes each time when you return to the title (You can consider it as a random seed). Initial value of currentGemBirdIndex is 0. In every rainy day, the game selects a random int from <nowiki>[0,1,2,3]</nowiki> ("Utility.Shuffle" changes 2 random numbers' order, repeating 4 times). Each number matches one location. So the Gem Birds's location is random. What you came across looks like to be an coincidence. --<small>[[User:Horizon98|Horizon98]] ([[User talk:Horizon98|Discussion]])</small> 18:04, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
