You don't say how many farmhouses you have, but they spawn about 1 every 5 farmhouses for me. I have 15 on my board, but only really collect from 10 as they are grouped closely together. Double check you've no other beastie by turning on your music to confirm ones not hiding from you... sometimes I have collected from the Prison or the Lair to double check (personally I don't have the music on) when I've found myself in a dry spell. Hopefully it's not that and you just need to keep collecting. Have you already crafted the Hedgehog out of interest?
Is any Chapter still open? If you need to wait for the next Chapter to open, no event items will drop and no event spawn will spawn.
I've crafted 4 of the Scorched Hogs, and I didn't experience any difference in Scorch Hog spawns.
The Goal we were talking about is Goal 1 of Chapter 8, and Chapter 8 starts in 5 minutes..
I haven't even got to that part yet. One of my most hated aspects of these events. I hate feeling the need to beg my neighbours for things,only to be told,oh,you've already sent requests to those folks. A perpetual hang up (and I'm trying not to use the eff word). And I'm just receiving a request from a dearly loved neighbour from four days ago,apparently,for whatever permit is required. Really s8, you know this is a pain/glitch/ whatever,yet you consistently roll it out for events. Why?
Does anyone know what the requirements are to build the window planter and the fairie hut?
