PC [Bug] square at bottom of farm map spawning weed-like stones/small logs

[Makaylarae]

Farm map, no mods, was occurring prior to 1.5 update (95% sure at least). One particular square on the bottom edge of the farm map spawns either a small rock or small log every few days. If not mined/chopped, it begins spreading like weeds would, spawning a mixture of rocks and small logs nearby. Spreading rocks/logs will destroy items like weeds would. If the square is cleared and something 1x1 in size is put on it (such as pathway, crop, or small statue), the item is destroyed and replaced with a stone or log, with the "overgrown weeds have caused damage to your farm" message in the morning upon waking up.

Tried putting stone pathway down with a gourmand statue on top of it (2x1 statue). Received the "damage to your farm" message in the morning. Statue remained but pathway was destroyed, no log or stone present.

Unsure if it's the same issue, but weed-like stones and logs spread over behind jojamart for me as well. That's not disruptive to gameplay however.

I think this is normal - stones and logs behave like leaves and spread if you are not on top of them.

But should they be forcibly spawning where I have items set and destroying things? Usually they only spawn in empty spots.

Which farm map is this on?

They spread from ones nearby and do destroy paths etc.

Could you share a picture of the area? You said it's at the bottom edge of the map so I am wondering if there is some hidden weed/stick/rock down there under the edge. Maybe try swinging your axe and pickaxe at the wall in those areas, or setting off a bomb there? Might destroy the invisible thing so it stops spawning more.

Another possibility is to upload the map into Stardew Planner and see if it shows a rock/stick/weed icon down there, that might show you if there's a 'hidden' one that you can destroy.

Sorry everyone, it took me a while to get back into the game and get pictures. I've attached some photos.

It's actually two squares, and the stones or logs will spawn on top of the big statue if it's in the way while destroying the pathway laid underneath. There's definitely nothing nearby spawning them, I've tried with my axe and pick to get anything that might be hidden (which is how accidently I destroyed the strawberry on that empty spot).

This is the forest map. I'm in spring year 4 and it's been happening since the beginning of my game I believe. It's super annoying. Photos taken of my computer screen with my phone, so sorry about that quality.

There might be actually a piece of debris down there that's spreading. Try checking with the planner or if you don't mind destroying some crops, blow up a bomb there
