(the scarecrow is to the upper right)

How much does a scarecrow cover exactly, which one of these examples will not work (the selected area is where the tilled field should be placed).

This is how i have it, and crows still mess up sometimes those outermost fields

This is pretty weird since i`ve never seen any crows on my fields for last year or so. I see them in the forest but never on pclaim.
Do they still act in the darkness?

It's interesting that the outer ones still get affected. Thanks!

I guess crows have an AoE attack?

i have my fields in a 8x8 set-up with the scarecrows in the exact center - I've never ever had any crows affect them with this set-up. So it's weird that Jenny did...
That said, if crows follow typical implementations it would be sufficient for the scarecrows to cover the center of the field. They might not, though.

It has happened 3 or 4 times within 5 months so very rarely, but happens anyway.

Aya, it's very rare. I've seen them on the corners of a few of my fields that aren't completely covered by the scarecrows area.
