Feathered Foes
Quick answer
Craft and build a scarecrow, checking which variant the placement objective accepts.
Recorded build reference · 0.8.10.842 · configuration record, not individually play-tested
Objectives and actionable steps
- Prepare one ordinary Scarecrow or Bob the Scarecrow; the first condition also accepts one already built.
- Build one ordinary Scarecrow. This second condition names only the ordinary variant.
Checks that can cause a stop
- If the Workbench is still locked, craft the ordinary Scarecrow, not Bob the Scarecrow; the ordinary current-build recipe does not require a workbench.
- The two checks accept different variants. Bob satisfies the first condition but is not listed in the final build condition.
- The task introduction describes scarecrows as crop protection against birds; no protection radius is specified here.
Failure, recovery and continuation
- Failure trigger
- No quest-level failure trigger recorded
- How to recover after failure
- Restarts the current quest
- After success
- Starts a configured follow-up call
These route relations come from retained build fields; each branch is not runtime-tested.
Reward: No separate reward field is recorded; a follow-up call or next quest is not a reward.
Route position
- Before
- Not recorded; predecessor unknown
- After
- Configured follow-up call; no named successor retained.
Chicken-related side route; no named predecessor or successor retained. · Back to the quest directory record

The current-build recipe configuration independently corroborates that route: the ordinary Scarecrow does not require a workbench, while Bob the Scarecrow does. This does not establish the exact unlock timing. Game-build configuration
