==Farm events==

==Farm events==

One farm event is randomly selected each night. An event is always selected (except if there's a wedding), but it might have extra requirements that make it do nothing; in that case, it still prevents other events from triggering. The event is chosen in the order listed below.

===Strong wind storm===

A strong wind storm fells [[Big Tree|The Big Tree]] which replaces it with [[Giant Stump|The Giant Stump]]. The quest has a 10% chance to trigger each night after the greenhouse construction. The stump may then be interacted with to begin the [[Quests#The Giant Stump|"The Giant Stump"]] quest.

===The Crop Fairy===

===The Crop Fairy===

The crop fairy fully grows all crops in a 5x5 area around the selected crop, so they're ready to harvest. Although the center crop can't be from [[Crafting#Seeds|Wild Seeds]], one of the surrounding crops can be; in that case, they'll all produce the same item chosen at random.

===The Witch===

===The Witch===

There's a 1% chance of the witch event being chosen. The event randomly chooses one [[coop]] (each with an 80% chance if it's been upgraded at least once, and has fewer than 50 placed objects), or one [[Slime Hutch]] (each with a 50% chance if it contains at least one [[Slimes|slime]] or other NPC, and has no [[Wicked Statue]]). If a Coop or a Slime Hutch wasn't selected, the event does nothing.

There's a 1% chance of the meteorite event being chosen. The event chooses a random 3x3 area on the farm and checks if there's a 2x2 area within that contains no water, placed objects that block movement, buildings, resource clumps, or farm animals. If no such 2x2 area is found, the event does nothing.

A unique <samp>Meteorite</samp> sound effect plays and a meteorite appears the next day on the farm in the selected area. Any crops or paths in that area are destroyed. This can be counter-productive, especially if the crops being grown are of more value than the loot from the meteorite. In the morning, a message is shown saying "An explosion was heard in the night..."

===Strange Capsule===

===Strange Capsule===

After year one, there's a 0.8% chance of the strange capsule event being chosen. The event does something only if a randomly chosen tile on the farm is clear and allows item placement. It will emit a small amount of light when placed. In the morning, a message is shown saying "A strange sound was heard in the night..."

A unique <samp>UFO</samp> sound effect plays, and a Strange Capsule appears on a random tile of the farm.<ref name="strangecapsule" /> The strange capsule can be picked up and placed around the farm. It turns into a broken Empty Capsule after about three days, which enables a [[Secrets#Strange Capsule|further Easter egg]]. It can also turn into a broken Empty Capsule if applied with [[Fairy Dust]]. Once this event has happened in a save file, it cannot happen again.

The Strange Capsule cannot spawn on the Ginger Island farm, but the event may still happen while sleeping in the Island Farmhouse. In this case, the Strange Capsule will appear as usual in a random location on the mainland farm.

===Stone Owl===

===Stone Owl===

There's a 0.5% chance of the stone owl event being chosen. The event checks the same conditions as the [[#Strange Capsule|strange capsule event]], though unlike the Strange Capsule, more than one Stone Owl can spawn in a save file and the Stone Owl can appear during year one.
