it takes several minutes for a crow to get it. The crow dies when the tile is unloaded but a tile stays loaded for longer than the several minutes it will take the crow. Crows shouldn't be spawning if a player isn't on that tile doing something, crows can spawn 'near' fields and be otherwise deemed unharmful and then walk their way over to the fields and start messing them up after you have left (that is the only way I have had my fields actually hit in real play).

some crows are taking longer to be scared, they complete 2-3 walks before flying... a f2p player wants to scare every crow they spawn outside the base, up to a good distance... this adds up to a good amount of time, interrupting what you're doing every now and then

"In real play" you are not alone on your test server and players do walk around your base from time to time.

Real play refers to my base on the live server, where yes I have found my tile loaded by other players.

I do believe you have your base on the island

john I had my first crow field attack, adding humus at next field planting I seem to have reached a point I cant add more humus or seed is this a bug or am I missing something like I need to till.

Sounds like you have high enough upkeep that you need more than 100 seed to plant, so you need to use a cotton or leather planter's pouch so you can hold more than 100 when you attempt to plant.

yep 300 seeds thanks

I think I just hit myself with a tree, this never happened before but it definitely hit me as I took blood damage and the tree shattered to blocks. Why did it fall backwards, though? I was chopping it alone.

That is very odd. It is definitely the first report of this happening. Let me know and send me a PM if you are able to replicate.
