Has Nintendo patched the spawn rate of regular Wood?

[Baroque]

For a few days, now, I feel like I get a lot more regular Wood as opposed to the excessive amounts of softwood and hardwood I used to get from trees usually. That’s great since I needed regular wood, only had a few stacks in my storage, but I’m wondering if that’s been the case for anyone else or if I’m just lucky in that regard?

Based on results of my woodchopping earlier, I still got a higher amount of softwood, but a close amount between hardwood and regular wood. I guess regular wood is not as scarcea anymore.

Kinda weird. You’d think regular wood would be more, y’know... regular.

I’ve noticed the same thing too, was wondering if they patched it. 100% I’m getting a better balance now.

I skipped farming for wood yesterday, can't wait to try today. Hoping that's the case!

 

[Bcat]

Ooh I hope so! I need normal wood in a bad way. I’ll have to chop some today!

speaking of spawn rates and patches, I feel like they patched the spawn rate of Peacock Butterflies again. After the nerf in 1.2.0, I started seeing 0-1 per day, now with 1.2.1 I am seeing around 5 per day

I already had three of them to give to Flick (If he ever comes back to my island) so it's not like I was on the lookout for them but I do think it might be the case since I haven't really seen them much lately :/

Afaik there were no changes datamined, only bug fixes.

I didn’t notice a difference a few days ago. I feel like for every wood I found I found 5 or so hard/soft wood

Huh, I guess I just really got lucky with that spawn, lately. Well, thanks for the info

i agree! i noticed this too, but i guess it's just luck? i'm OVER the soft wood. there's barely any good diys that need that. it's almost always wood!

 

[Dreamcloud]

I noticed this last night. I was hoping they'd done something as it's always wood i'm after for DIYs. Must have just been lucky.

 

[Aliya]

I noticed this too since I was terraforming yesterday and today so I had to cut down a ton of trees. I'm so glad! Regular wood is used so much more in DIYs so this is a wonderful change.

so more people noticed? this must have been patched then. it can't be a coincidence. regular wood literally used to spawn less.

 

[Ananas Dragon]

Nope, i got a stack of hard and softwood but only 9 wood

then again i was time traveled to bunny day so maybe eggs had something to do with it

I pretty sure all wood had an equal chance of spawning. The difference is regular wood was used more.

The most recent patch was only bug fixes, nothing about changing spawn rates.
