What on earth does POLLEN do?

[Draygo]

The weather effect of pollen eludes me.

[VerboseLamp]

At least anecdotally, I've never noticed any kind of discernible game effect from pollen. I think it's just the spring/summer flavoring on the "windy" weather you get in autumn and fall, and the only thing those seem to do is increase the leaves/debris flying through the air in the top-most parallax layer.

I have make some test on this side, but it's hard to view if the impact are related...,

the thing it's change, it's they have some people they have different thing to say, because they have problem with pollen, trying to find something to made they can help her with her pollen pollen problem, in giving her gift they can help but nothing work, or i have not find the good item, but i think for this people, it's just a discussion and not an hiding way to say they need something...,

another test i have made it's to view if they have an impact on the land, and on this, perharps i have a way, but it's again difficult to know if it's this they make an impact on the thing,

by example, when they annonce they will have full pollen in the air, and you can view it, it's want to say in the reallity, the plant spreed her baby for making new plant everywhere, and on this i thing it's give an indice when it's can more easy to find and recolt wild flower, fruit, and other thing...,

and each time i go out in this time to visit the land, i find more thing than usually, but i cannot confirm, it's just a thing i have view but it's can be just an hazard...,

but for me, when they announce this, it's want to say, go outside and take time to recolt wild thing in this week, usually i think the pollen thing happen in the second week of the month, but again it's perharps just an hazard...

I have noticed that my chickens do not lay eggs on pollen days, maybe its bugged and counts it as raining?

[Prepackaged Cat]

Perhaps pollen will put random seeds down on empty tilled ground. Or maybe there is a chance that it produces more randomly generated items in the game. Or it opens up a different area of the game or different dialogue. Or it doesn't do anything at all!

[neal.legrande]

Does it have something to do with Fruit Trees?

[Sara]

Honey maybe?

[SilentCaay]

It doesn't do anything. Same with windy days. The only days that have an effect are rain/snow and thunderstorms which affect watering crops, fish availablity, NPC schedules and lightning.

[™H&S ♕Fearless♕]

During polen I usually find A LOT of those wild onions situated south from your farm maybe it means that you find a lot more wild flowers and ect.

This is probably coincidental but I always find WAY more shells on the beach during windy days. O_o

I think more shells wash up on pollen days because the wind drives the waves/shells up on the beach.

[dino_inc]

It's just a visual effect, almost 100% certain it does not actually change anything.

[GenieBeenie]

Fair enough. But I wouldn't have put it past CA to slip something like that in!

[Chinese Mike]

I'm pretty sure it makes you slower.

[Silberlicht]

There are no monsters in mines when pollen time.
