We may have finally found unobtainium but I will never find eywa.

Yeah I just spent the last two days moving my museum two squares back only to decide I'd rather have it where it was originally. But this Museum Dino Adventure hedge maze is gonna be lit so it's worth it.

Is there a quick way to farm Stone?

I seem to get even less from Nook Islands than I do from the rocks on my island.

I've got loads of stone and iron just by digging two holes stopping myself from moving away from the rock when bashing it. Then on the nook islands I eat a fruit and destroy it for one extra stone. I had so much I ended up selling some of it off. I mean you can't do this everywhere but I've got the stones on my island to spawn in places with enough space to do it.

Turnip prices are currently 323 on Bungusland, which I know isn't the best, so I'm just going to throw the Dodo code up here for now if you aren't on Discord and/or don't want to deal with much of a rush (or maybe there will be, we'll see).

Take the first left out of the airport and Nook's is just over the brick bridge.

Saharah is also in town with Laboratory Wall and Dig-Site Flooring (I have both so I left freebies in front of Nook's). It's also raining.

Dodo code is JNMY1 -- if things get too busy/hammered I may delete it from this post but keep it active a while longer; we'll see. Hopefully things stay chill a while.

I dropped a 99k bag and watched as another visitor ran over and grabbed it and ran off to the store :v:

I've made a few paths but I haven't gone ham with the other tools apart from adding or removing bits of space when needed. I don't feel like completely restructuring my island. But the bottom half of mine is sort of planned out and the top half is still pretty empty with lots of trees and weeds.

Oh, it always starts small. You just want to widen one river for a bridge, or add a bit of cliff to give you more room for hybrid growing. Then before you know it that cliff to the southwest would make a perfect spot for your museum if you just knocked everything down and built a giant lake and a bunch of waterfalls.

Sold my first-ever load of turnips today. Dropped 130k on them on Sunday for 110 each. My son about lost his fuckin poo poo when he saw how much total money I spent (everything I had) and refused to buy any.

Sold them all today for 500-something off turnip.exchange. Grossed ~700k and can pay off 2 house loans. What's up now, kid?

I was very surprised to find a Lily of the Valley on my island, because I assumed my wall o’ bugs and enormous field of reject flowers would be “clutter” preventing a 5 star rating. But I guess I was wrong, cause it obviously seems to be the thing that got me there.

I have a theory that you get way more of one material from mining because I have two islands. On one, I can never get enough iron and always have tons of stone and a decent amount of clay. On the other, there’s some days where I won’t get any clay whatsoever and am extremely iron rich. Do you have an excessive amount of iron or clay?

Kicks is here with some frilly little shoes and these bags:
- Knapsack
- Crossbody bag (pink)
- Canvas backpack (white/red)
- Square backpack (green)
- Outdoor backpack (blue)

Nooks have a Server for 100,000 bells. Seems kinda rare?

Some free lovely DIY recipes on the right side beach above the suburban area.

Anyway if you feel like watering the flowers on the northern cliff of my island that’d be sick.

yeah I tend to get mostly Clay / Iron from Nook Islands for sure. From my own, it's maybe 25% stone.

I don't ever use Clay for anything, so I definitely have stacks of that. Iron I will blow on something like a hot item that needs it, but other wise I don't use much of it.

I just checked my storage, I have 8 stacks and some change of Clay / Iron, and 3 stacks of Stone. That seems about equal to the drop rates I see.

Willing to trade, if someone's interested.

Unlimited books! Pinky is also crafting the cabin wall. Will close up in about 30-60 minutes though depending on how many visitors drop in over the next hour.

Opening my town for a bit. Dodo Code is 08HK4. (e: closed)

I have tons of fossils and miscellaneous other stuff! Take whatever you want! If anyone has an extra Archelon Tail I'd appreciate it since it's the last fossil I'm missing (e: Some kind soul gave me one, thank you very much!), but otherwise I don't need anything unless you want to give me weird poo poo, I'm down with that.



I've got Lily in boxes! She's a good and kind frogger who's looking for a change in life, so I hope one of you can give her a good home!

Nook's selling hamster cages and baby pandas (green). Also one blue corner (wrestling ring) if you're trying for a full ring! (e: Sold!) Able Sisters have some decent outdoorsy clothing like fishing vests and overalls. Also Kicks is in town. Turnips are 95, not worth the trip.

DIY: Tangy's making stacked magazines, southwest corner of the island (left of the airport).

I'll be semi-AFK but I hope those that make the trip enjoy themselves!

Thanks for opening! I left you some drawings and a spare recipe card as a gift. You just saved me at least a week’s worth of catalog purchases in order to make some book stacks and bookshelves, so that’s pretty great.

After about a week of frantic checking, Redd has finally graced my island! He seems to have one real and two fake paintings left if anyone's interested, (real painting gone! Might as well close). You can get to him without a ladder via the left side beach. Nook's has unlimited espresso machines and there's nothing especially interesting at Able's. Free stuff to the left of the airport~

In this particular case the unfortunate answer to most of the annoying things in the game is "they designed it that way on purpose". The whole game is built to be a time-waster and the restrictions are the point in a lot of ways. I think most probably agree that the drawbacks are annoying or frustrating or whatever, but it's just the price of admission to play the game.

In Japan, everything is tailored. You’ve probably heard Sheena Iyengar’s TED talk, in which she went to a restaurant in Japan and tried to order sugar in her green tea. The people at the cafe said, “One does not put sugar in green tea,” and then, “We don’t have sugar.” But when she ordered coffee instead, it did come with sugar! In Japan, there’s a sense of, “We’re making this thing for you, and this is how we think this thing is better enjoyed.” This is why, in Splatoon, the maps rotate every couple of hours. And the modes change. “I bought this game. Why can’t I just enjoy this game the way I want?” That’s not how we think here. Yes, you did buy the game. But we made this game. And we’re pretty confident about how this game should be enjoyed.

I do agree there are definitely a few interface things that get annoying, but I absolutely respect the Soup Nazi design philosophy they have there. Have it our way.

- If you’re gonna make multiple trips, please be courteous and do it quickly.
- no tips needed, but I wouldn’t say no.
- please help yourselves to 1! Present on the ground. They’re nothing exciting, just random extras. **IF ITS NOT WRAPPED, DONT TAKE IT!**
