Rare owl statue??

[Tragicpython]

I was watching a video about rare events and he said that the owl statue is very rare I was wondering if that's true at all or maybe It just used to be rare just wondering because had it happen to me sometime in spring first year

It used to be rare (as in impossible to get) because there was a mistake in the coding.

It was changed in the 1.5 update and it is now as rare (or common) as the other nightly events.

It's not common, but I wouldn't say it is "rare" now.

See, in 1.5 a bug was fixed. There is a 1% chance the event triggers, and then the game looks at 50 random tiles on your farm... and before 1.5 if even one of those tiles was blocked the game would not complete the event, but now when it checks the tiles, if even one of those tiles is UNblocked the game will complete the event. This makes a big difference. Now just about everyone will get one in a save if they play it long enough.

The chances for it are the same as the Strange Capsule event, and the method of checking as I described above applies to that too... and when rolling out 1.5, in 1.5.3 CA had to institute a "once per save" lock on the Strange Capsule... and I'm not sure, but I think he may have done so for the Stone Owl too.

I'm pretty sure I've got more than one stone owl after the fix for the strange capsule was implemented. It's also not mentioned in the log.

Ohhhh that explains the Strange Capsule that showed up on my farm!
