see scarecrows radius

[GhostJelly]

title. being able to see were scarecrows can scare crows. it would be very useful so I don't have to constantly check the wiki to see the dimensions.

This is a mod also!

Given the importance of scarecrows, it's a little odd that this feature isn't already included. It would make choosing a spot for them much easier. All you'd need is to have the radius highlight while carrying it, like when you are powering up a tool.

Well of course ! And the same need for junimo hut .

It is 8 tiles, but it isn't a square. It's a circle. And the junimo hut is a square. That they both work differently is what bugs me.

Bee houses and flowers would also be nice to see.

It would definitely be helpful to see their radius, I always use the mod which displays their radius for this exact same reason.

I agree! Show an overlay of affected area when placing a Scarecrow and doing the same for Junimo Huts (Bee houses, maybe).

Mods are great if you are using PC but less so if you are playing on a console. Built-in features are more helpful for things like this that almost everyone would find useful.

Oh, that's a great addition as well, I didn't think of that. Yes, when holding a scarecrow, or bee hut, you also see all other items that have a reach feature (scarecrows, huts, and beehives are the only three, right?) in a glowing green radius highlight. Given that bee huts have a small reach, you can hold one of them to study how well the scarecrows are covering the farmland. That gets rid of the issue that you can only see the scarecrow area when holding it. There is a small downside that your beehive reach would be hidden by a scarecrow reach, but I think that's a minor issue, and it's more helpful to see all the reaches.

This will almost certainly be the first mod I add if I ever go down that route. No cheat, no shortcut, no change to gameplay. Just absolutely key information.
