PSA: About Star Fragment Trees (updated!)

[Dormire]

Here's a link to the proof, the part where I dug up the hacked trees was cut out because of the 30 second limit thing, but people can see that there were trees there by watching both videos I have and then looking at the timestamp at the end of both videos.

Thank you so much! I'll add this to the first post! Thank you so much as well for being polite, I don't have bad intentions about this but rather to just warn others of the risk of having them.

Of course! I'm glad I could help out with this People who want to get these trees for their island should know of any risks so thank you for looking out for the community!

Nice, thanks for this! I commented on one of the asks that you responded to and realized after you asked for any other kind of proof of corrupted saves that none of the things I saw really had any lol. Now I get to whine more for these trees. TT v TT

At this moment, no one has been banned from online from having these trees. I know a lot of people connect this occurrence to the hacked Pokemon fiascos, but this is not the same situation, so far. Anyone who is directly editing their save, and running unofficial, unlicensed content on their Switch is at risk of an online ban--that's just plain and simple. I believe people with the trees should not and most likely will not be banned from online services, unless they are the source of the hacked items.

I'm also not sure if Nintendo can patch these trees easily, because they would have to change how the money trees operate entirely.

I also want to reassure anyone with unreleased items that have not been modified, but have been introduced to the economy thanks to the save editor, that you are safe from corruption and bans. You are okay. Please trash or sell any items that flash/glitch out, though; those were added into the game improperly and may cause issues, if not headaches.

I seriously hope people aren’t staying awake at night angsting over whether or not to risk their saves over these (sorry!) extremely stupid looking trees. Really not worth it.
