Changes

→‎History: Meteorite drops changed more than just adding prismatic shard (I'm not certain this was a 1.6 change)

===The Crop Fairy===
 
===The Crop Fairy===
Except in winter, there's a 1% chance of the fairy event being chosen. If it's not raining, the event chooses 100 random terrain features; at least one of those must be a crop that's not from [[Crafting#Seeds|Wild Seeds]] and not fully-grown. If it's raining or no crop was found, the event does nothing.

Except in winter or on the last day of a season, there's a 1% chance of the fairy event being chosen. If there is a fully grown [[Fairy Rose]] this is increased to 1.7%. If it's not raining, the event chooses a random crop that's not from [[Crafting#Seeds|Wild Seeds]] and not fully-grown or dead. 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.

[[File:Meteorite 2.png|thumb|right|A meteorite on the Farm.]]
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..."

Meteorites don't despawn naturally and require a [[Pickaxes|Gold Pickaxe]] or better to mine. (A Gold Pickaxe requires 7 hits, and an Iridium Pickaxe requires 6 hits.) They drop 6 [[Iridium Ore]], 6 [[Stone]], and 2 [[Geode]]s, and have a 25% chance to drop a [[Prismatic Shard]].

===Strange Capsule===
 
===Strange Capsule===
After Year 1, 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.

{{History|1.6|Added Strong Wind Storm random event.

Rebalanced the crop fairy event: the chance no longer depends on the number of planted crops, it can no longer happen on the last day of the season, and it can no longer choose dead crops to grow. It is also now more likely with a fully grown [[Fairy Rose]].}}
