Mine have spawned in flowers, on paths, and in tight spaces before the update. So Im not entirely sure if it was changed any. It is good to hear people are having a better time finding them though.
Thanks for the replies. It sounds like it wasn’t part of the update then, or maybe the update increased the possibility for spawns. I just never saw them in the flower field before. I had an open area until recently that the snowballs always spawned. Once I got my badge and all the diy, I decorated the area so there was no longer any room for spawns. So that’s probably why they moved to my flower field.
I noticed this, too. Before the update, if there was enough empty space close to a flower field, just one or even both of the snowballs would spawn on flowers. Yesterday, however, there wasn’t a single tile that was empty and could have made the snowballs spawn in the nearby, but there were two of them in my flower field, so I actually think something changed with the update.
