The spreading weeds have caused damage to my farm

[rolypoly]

I've gone all around my farm, and could find no damage. What is it talking about?

[Scrogdog]

This one doesn't seem too common but it did happen to me once.

Because I had not put fences or paths around my crops, those small boulders and logs that always appear did encroach and cost me one crop.

But it wasn't like I couldn't see what caused it.

[NotThatHarkness]

Probably a floor or path tile is missing. It's happened to me 2 or 3 times on season changes.

It's a warning.

Overgrowth can damage your farm and placeable objects if it is not contained. Fences protect your crops and objects by "breaking" the overgrowth line, preventing weeds and the like from spreading into places where they can do damage.

After I saw that warning, I think... maybe it's nothing.

But ... Oh man! The weeds spawn under (and destroyed) my scarecrow and Iridium sprinkler!

I was so confused when I saw that. I happened to me about 5 minutes ago. I have cobblestone paths (which are two blocks thick) surrounding all of my crops, and somehow a weed managed to spread right in the middle of my 5 x 5 crop section. Thankfully nothing was there, it was just an empty space I prepared for a sprinkler. But it sucks that this is a thing, I don't like that part of the game...

I hate weeds. I hate rocks. I hate wood and I hate random trees everywhere. I like my farm looking neat and tidy. So I have never seen a weed damage anything. I did place three statues on the bench inside the small fensed off area beside the community centre though. I didn't know at the time that it was a bench. I was wondering if a statue order would open the safe in the community centre. Something I was testing for the obsecure secret. I left them over night, only to find one missing. I have concluded that if a npc cannot access the bench unhindered, the obstical will be deleted.

Is there a way to get rid of weeds going into my crops without having to re-model my entire farm?

(I used a 2 block thick stone path)

[VerboseLamp]

Yes. Replace one of the paths with a fence.

Grab your scythe, take 40 seconds to clear out any weeds that are near your crops.

There, you're set for at least one season.

I had a weed destroy a keg when the season changed.

Always pickup sprinklers before winter

theres a simple fix to the weeds destroying sprinklers, scarecrows, chests, machine, kegs, etc just put the utility thing on TOP of paths, and it won't destroyed

What do weeds look like? I can't tell but I normally get a thing that says they damaged my farm.
