'''Crows''' are an [[Monsters|enemy]] that eats crops in the [[farm]], one per day, except that growing from [[Crafting#Seeds|wild seeds]]. They're unreachable like all other birds around the Town, and it's best to just avoid them by placing [[Scarecrows]] in the fields with crops growing.
 
 
 
==Behavior==
 
When and if the player sees a crow over the crops, it has already eaten the crop. It's animation then is fully cosmetic, not influencing the mechanics towards the crops' field.
 
 
 
Each morning, the game calculates a random number between 0 and 1. If that # is less than 0.3, then it chooses a tile at random. If that tile has a crop not protected by a scarecrow, the crow eats it. Otherwise, it chooses another tile, up to 10 tiles.
 
 
 
If a crow still hasn't eaten a crop, the game runs the above calculations up to 3 more times, with a new random number between 0 and 1 each time.
 
 
 
The number of times the code runs is the minimum of (4 and #of crops/16). So if you have only 16 crops planted, it executes once. If you have 600 crops planted, it executes 4x.
 
 
 
Whenever a crow eats a crop, the code ends. So a crow will never eat 2 crops in the same day.
 
 
 
==Strategy==

Make sure each crop is under a [[scarecrow]]'s effective range.
