Furnace Explosion?

[Vivi]

Okay, so I tried to collect my Copper Bar from the furnace...I did get it...but shortly afterwards, the first furnace (the one where I took the bar from) exploded...and that caused the other furnace to explode too...I also placed the two furnaces right next to eachother...is that the cause of the issue? It was also thunder storming that day...

It got hit by lighting

Are you married to Abigail or friends with Kent?

(Joking, but they both give you explosives...)

Outside? Ya, lighting. Best to keep as much as possible indoors (I build a barn as my work / storage area). Also, the more lightening rods you have spread around, the safer you will be (but never 100% for anything outside).

Thanks guys...but my furnaces were inside my home though...so lightning can hit stuff inside your home..O.O

Running mods?

I've heard some mods that modify the farmhouse can cause items to eplode rarely

I heard the modding for this game is very cool...should I try some? Lol.

There are basically 2 kinds of mods

1. File replacements (just replace current files with new ones. This is for small, non-game changing alterations. Things like changing portraits/sprites of characters/animals.

THings popular here and Anime Portraits, Pokemon Pets, making the greenhouse bigger, things like that.

2 There are more advanced programs that alter the way the game handles the code. These need an interface, notible SMAPI, which you need to run the mods though

Here are more drastic, gameplay altering mods, like nthe Time mod, which can change how long each tick of the clock is, which can give you more time every day.

Oh that's cool! I might try some out :) Thanks

IK this is off-track, but you can freeze time also ^.^ I've never had anything blow up on me, and all my furnaces are in my house. It could be which mods you use, so be wary. Think of stardew like a fresh map: there's still a lot to find,

also, if you weren't using mods, I do wonder if it's a bug/glitch, or maybe part of the 'obscure secret'. Just my thoughts, take them as you will ^.^

Did you have a bomb in your quickbar? I've dropped one by accident before.

If you have a lot of Rods, they will attract the Lightning.

Didn't the dev say that Rods are for resource collection purposes only and that it doesnt prevent lightning?

Maybe a bug, i found one, when the animals are out i close the gates on the barn and coop, the next day was rainny and the animals are outside, in the rain, i open the gates and dont go in. Usually when u close the gates they go trough it in the evening.
