Melon Meteor

So I don't really know what I'm doing but I just had the oddest event happen... I woke up looking for a meteor strike and when I found it it was a melon meteor? (melonite?) Also, I don't know how to add photos so if this doesn't show up please help me

Update: It was broken with an axe hit and released 21 melons, I'll keep posting if this happens again

It's a Giant Melon. Not part of the Random Events logic. See Crops#Giant_Crops. Zendowolf (talk) 17:19, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Strange Capsule

The page currently says "Once this event has happened once in a save file, it cannot happen again." However, this event has happened to me twice on the same save. Has this happened to anyone else? Cygnus (talk) 14:34, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

There have been reports of it on the wiki, but the game code should prevent it. Are you using the latest version of the game? What platform are you playing on? If you have found 2+ Strange Capsules with the latest version, and are not playing on mobile, this needs to be reported on the Official forums as a bug. margotbean (talk) 16:21, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

I recently had a message in the morning like when a Strange Capsule spawns, but I already had one. When I checked my Farm (wich is very tidy so it is impossible to not find anything) I found no Strange Capsule and also no meteorite or Stone Owl. I didn't look inside the code for that but I guess the Game checks having one after 'hearing' the strange noise and before spawning it. Botautal (talk) 22:44, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

If I am right, Cygnus maybe just saw the message but not the Capsule itself. Botautal (talk) 22:46, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Oh, that's interesting. Let's keep an eye out for that happening, so we can report the bug! margotbean (talk) 23:13, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm playing on PC, and I believe it happened a couple weeks after 1.5 was released. And I didn't just see the message again, I have two capsule items. Cygnus (talk) 00:55, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

That's so because the Capsule can only spawn once per safefile since 1.5.3. In 1.5 It was possible to have more than 1. Botautal (talk) 11:53, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

It was interesting to see that you're only supposed to have this event happen once. I had it happen twice on one file, presumably before 1.5.3, and then a third time afterward.

Strange Capsule on Ginger Island

Had the strange capsule event trigger while sleeping on Ginger Island. Went back home the next day and found the capsule landed behind my mill. I've edited the article to reflect this behavior, but I'm curious if anyone else has had this happen, or if it's supposed to work this way according to CA?

Events occur naturally on the Farm, even if you are on the Ginger Island. JaksStrange (talk) 00:51, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
