Appreciate the tip! I’ll try to learn to do it that way eventually too, but I’ve been playing since the GameCube AC so using the audio is pretty ingrained. 🙂

It's new for me too! Heck, I've spent hours fishing in AC and WoW on sound alone. I think this is the first one with good enough subtley in vibration to pull it off so far. MY real problem with fishing streaks is I set my controller down for a second and then plop! I missed it.

Any else notice how the nook miles+ quest complete or pop up sound is kind of like the opening jingle of kakariko village in Ocarina of Time?

Buy Nook Ticket, go to island. Find rocks. Make sure all the tiles around the rock are clear. Dig two holes a space away and stand against them so you can't get knocked back. Wack it 9 times for items. Do this on an island or two and you should be done.

Use your Nook Miles (2000) to go to the randomly generated deserted islands. Otherwise it'll take awhile of smacking the few rocks on your own island.

Nook's Cranny is finished and I'm starting on some additional housing for new villagers. Tomorrow the museum should be fully built.

Mystery Tours. You can complete the shop in one day if you just go on a bunch of tours and hit rocks. It takes some miles grinding but that shouldn't be an issue for someone enjoying the game.

That or Amazon since anything covered by Prime is essentially a guarantee that it’s what you ordered.

But yeah, they don’t sell them anywhere anymore, so whatever 3rd party market works. I’m going to be making an SA Mart post soon myself since i’m on the hunt for a good bit of them.

Help:

Trying to plant some trees and I need to know the minimum distance for them to grow properly (fruit or otherwise)

is it:

TxT

or:

TxxT


Or even farther?

The easiest way to find out if a layout works is to try planting fully grown trees instead of saplings. The game will stop you from planting anything it doesn't like.

In New Leaf, the closest cluster of tress went like this:

code:
TxT
xxx
xTx
Like a triangle shape. It also didn't like you planting rows of trees, so you always had to plant forests diagonally (S for sapling):

code:
TxSxx
xxxxx
xTxSx

and not

TxSxS

If you (P) stand diagonally to the rock (R) and hit it with a shovel, the two holes (H) prevent you from being pushed back

code:

Knockback from hitting the rock makes you swing at air after a while and you're on a timer after your first hit.

Oh, Dee, you card. :-*
Is there a button combo to change leaders locally? We only have one controller set with gyro and it is really frustrating us because we can't play co-op unless we each use an individual joy con. :/ Tried looking earlier in the thread and searching but all I get is the same regurgitated SEO spam sites or Nintendo marketing material. I'm hoping it is just something we're overlooking.

It is extremely baffling to me that I can't use the touch screen to paint pro designs. I hope this becomes an option later on. Somehow, the touch screen works for typing in messages or sums of money, but not with any other type of interaction. What gives?

Just visited the photographer for the first time. I might have to actually get into those QR code cards, folks. Staging scenes with my favourite animals is just too tempting. :ohdear:

Gulliver confused the hell out of me when he asked me to look for suspicious spots on the beach. Why would radio components squirt water at me?

Now that there are three animals moving in, I haven't seen a single person during my trips. Kind of a bummer.

Also, this thread moves sooo fast. :tviv:

how the hell do you catch the cicadas or whatever the bugs are that are chirping from the trees? I keep hearing them yet no matter how much I shake the tree I pinpoint it to or hit it with various tools, nothing pops out.

I'm having trouble scanning the QR code for a custom design I made on http://www.acpatterns.com. It successfully loads into the (not-NookPhone) app, but immediately fails when I try to redeem it. Anyone else getting this?

Those are underground critters; go to where the sound is loudest and start diggin! Get ready to get your net out, because they'll scurry away after a short while.

Don’t forget to plant your own fruit. This tripped me up for a bit.

Finally got level 3 Cast Master! I agree with whoever said this was a a surprisingly unchill thing for this game. It really sticks out compared to pretty much every other task in the game I’ve seen so far.

EDIT: PS: Scaring away fish doesn’t interrupt the streak thankfully, they have to bite at least once for it to count as a miss I think. And if if you miss one you should be able to (in most cases) immediately go to your home menu and quit without it saving, too.

Where can I find more flower seeds? I outright transplanted my first, but just picking flowers and expecting to "plant them" went as well as you'd expect.

To be fair, I was coming off my high of realizing dropping the butt fruit into a hole would lead to it magically turning into a sapling, immediately.

There are only villagers on the expedition islands until you recruit 3 of them.
