	::::::::I would like to revisit my original question, and ask it a different way to hopefully be more clear. Suppose I start a new farm. On Spring 1, I plant Lewis's 15 Parsnip seeds and nothing else. They are obviously safe on the night of Spring 1. They are also safe on the night of Spring 2, because there are still fewer than 16 crops planted. Now suppose I plant a single Potato seed on Spring 3. What happens on the night of Spring 3? We all agree that the Potato seed won't be eaten because it was just planted, but are the Parsnips still safe? Does it totally ignore the Potato and not spawn a crow, or does it spawn a crow and just not let the crow eat the potato if it happens to select that space to attack? I think both are reasonable interpretations of, "Crows will not eat (seeds just planted)". [For purposes of this question, assume everything is watered every day. The watering question is an interesting one, but not the one I'm asking.] [[User:Zendowolf\|Zendowolf]] ([[User talk:Zendowolf\|talk]]) 18:09, 22 March 2022 (UTC)		::::::::I would like to revisit my original question, and ask it a different way to hopefully be more clear.

			:I know it has been a while since this discussion started, but I have updated the page to clarify how it works. Firstly, all crops count towards the total, including those in the seed stage (the one exception here are forage crops which have turned into foragables, and tea saplings). As to if a crop can be eaten, this depends on what stage it is going to be after the night is over, where the 3rd stage or later can be eaten.
			:So for the example, the parsnips you plant on spring 1 are safe the night of spring 1, regardless of how many are planted as they only grow to stage 2. The night of spring 2 they grow to stage 3 are now valid targets, but you need 16 crops. So in your example they are still safe. Then on spring 3 you plant a potato seed to bring you to 16 and the parsnips (but not the potato) can be taken. On the night of spring 4 the potatoes will have grown to stage 3 and are now valid targets.
			:While this might seem like it is just crops that are planted before the night are safe, there are exceptions. The simplest is just not watering the crop, it doesn't matter how long it stays as a seed or the second stage, it will be safe. In addition, even with watering there are plenty which are safe for longer.
			:For example, kale grows to stage 2 the first night, but only reaches stage 3 after 3 nights. So it is safe on the first and second night.
			:The more extreme example is the ancient seed which if not fertilised would be safe for the first 8 nights. This is also why wild seeds are safe - They become fully mature and are replaced by foragable items instead of reaching stage 3.
			:This also means hypothetically any crop that is fully mature at stage 2 would be safe, and any wild crop which had a growth stage 3 would not be safe - but currently no such crops exists. [[User:JackBlack69\|JackBlack69]] ([[User talk:JackBlack69\|talk]]) 22:01, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

			So I can't remember them all right now, but I'll add stuff when I do.

			1: Butterflies can glow, all of them were some shade of light blue and I've only seen it in the winter. It was a pretty small light but still noticeable, and it definitely moved with the butterfly
			2: Possums/opossums(what's the difference?) are a thing, I was heading back to the farm through the community center when I ran past one. It jumped up then ran into the bush behind it
			3: Despite having gone through a full year not a single one of my scarecrows have encountered a crow, and I know for a fact I've had more then 15 crops on several occasions

			Is my math correct that at max friendship/mood you have a 50/50 chance of iridium, then a 50/50 chance of gold, then guaranteed silver? So .5 iridium,.25 gold,.25 silver?
