Changes

Weeds don't spawn above-ground in [[Winter]], but in any other season will appear randomly on [[The Farm|the farm]] and in [[The Mines|the mines]]. This is most common when the season changes, but may occur later in the season. They also spawn in specific areas of [[Pelican Town]] and [[Cindersap Forest]] at the start of the game, and each [[Spring]] 1st. Weeds don't spawn on tiles that are already occupied by buildings, equipment, fences, or closed gates.

If weeds aren't cleared, they may multiply and spread. Weeds may spread to a tile occupied by a [[Crafting#Decor|floor or path]], which will destroy the path tile. If this happens, a pop-up message reading ''"The spreading weeds have caused damage to your farm."'' will be displayed onscreen the moment the player wakes up for the day. The player might receive this message every day if the spread is not discontinued by clearing the weeds, as it pops up if any path/floor is destroyed.

If weeds aren't cleared, they may multiply and spread. Weeds may spread to any tillable tile, destroying almost any item, including [[Crafting|crafted items]] and [[furniture]].  ([[Crafting#Fences|fences]] and [[chest]]s cannot be destroyed.)  Weeds also prevent the growth of [[Fruit Trees]] if they spawn in the 3x3 grid around the tree. If either of these events happens, a pop-up message will be displayed at the lower left of the screen when the player wakes up in the morning. The message will indicate which fruit tree couldn't grow the previous night, or that the weeds have caused damage.  The message will not say exactly which item was destroyed.

Any weeds above ground disappear in [[Winter]].
