When did they change spawns? I started playing maybe 10 days ago.

I think I read somewhere that the interest rate change was in response to people jumping their console a decade or two ahead to gain the interest, not the turnip market.

Surely people will just set the clock forward a few more decades?

Haha, that’s a good point.

If they really wanted to curtail turnips it doesn’t seem like it would be that hard. You could raise the price floor to buy and lower the ceiling for sales. That’d raise risk and lower reward—although more so for people that just stick to a small group of friends. If you look around online, there’s really no risk regardless.

More effective would be making it so Turnips only stacked to 10 or 20 instead of 100. After selling 70 stacks (and grossing 3 million) this week, I’m never buying more than I can conveniently stash.

It ruined my house and island for half a week to have all those turnips lying around.

Maybe I really won’t need any more money, though? I dunno yet.

Kyrosiris posted:

Sure, but even assuming 2 million in seed money, you'd need like... what, 30-ish years? to match one week's turnip profits assuming a full inventory and a 500 bell sell price.

It adds up to a whole lot of "who gives a poo poo?" while turnips exist at all.

It was something you could do on your own, though. That’s just about the only difference I can see.

I think I accidentally traveled back in time two hours while fixing my time zone and now all of my turnips have rotted. I put every cent of the money I've been saving forever to buy all of them and it's almost enough to make me quit.

Where do y’all store all these DIY recipes? It’s be nice to hold them to trade or give away, but I can’t stand having stuff just littered around.

Even having turnips ends up being gross. I built a fenced-in pen that holds 3500 but next week I’m downsizing to a tidy 1600.

They’re just one method of displaying a custom design.

So you can make a design then select something like display here and then select art or whatever the non mannequin and on ground option is.

Hollylolly might be referring to the “Plain wooden shop sign” which is more like your stereotypical video game sign compared to the “Display Here” easel you’re talking about. It is indeed a DIY. The easel certainly works in a pinch though, and doesn’t cost crafting materials and customization kits to set up.

There’s also a couple different smaller wooden signs that can’t take a custom design but can be changed to point towards different icons.

Oh! Didn’t know about that shop sign. That sounds neat.

My sweet summer child :allears:

But what actually are you spending that much on?

Just redoing infrastructure a bunch?

4m or so would get you 8 bridges and 8 inclines at their high price. Seems like at some point you’d have them where you want them to be. And moving villagers barely adds up.

It doesn’t seem like there’s enough high priced furniture and clothes to make a real dent after you spend 2 million on crowns.

I’m curious about where all the money goes.

Well if I wanted to gift my favourite Islanders the crowns they deserve there's 4M down the drain in as many minutes, plus there's friends

I'm gonna have to redo my infrastructure at some point with better bridges, so there's a mil down the drain, and right after I made my 11M I paid off the last 2M loan

On a non-crown Able day but with new stuff in Nook's it's easy to spend 1/4 of a mil in the blink of an eye

Then I like gifting people expensive things like Servers, musical instruments, etc

Are there any DIYs that are especially worth opening up an island for? I love getting new recipes, so I’m happy in almost any case. But what’s worth the extra effort of opening and staying open?

My sense is that anything ironwood, the cutting board, and anything gold tends to get called out a lot.

If you can't craft it, it's "development" not "scenery".

If you can craft it, don't worry, it still counts for scenery even if it's not huge. See below.


I don't think it's being read entirely right, but in fairness it is worded in an incredibly opaque way.

You are correct about the important distinction between Scenery and Development, but it's not just big DIY furniture that counts towards scenery. All DIY furniture helps.

Specifically it's reported to say that for less than 10 DIY furniture in an 8x8 block you get the number of furniture x0.25 points.

That's a loving stupid way to say "DIY furniture is usually worth 1/4th of a point". The reason it says that is because you get a bonus for variety if you have more than 10 furniture in the area, so the formula becomes more complicated.

This doesn't matter.

Short, sensible version: DIY furniture gives you 1 point if it's at least 3 tiles in any dimension. Otherwise it gives 1/4th of a point.

There you can crank out more points by putting a ton of different stuff in a small area but no one needs to actually care about that bullshit. Just crank out more poo poo to make your score more better.

Just remember the basics:
If you need Scenery, plant dozens of flowers and maybe put out more DIY furniture. Any DIY furniture will help. But not as much as flowers which are really easy to spam, so consider massive flower fields if you're desperate.
If you need Development, put out furniture you can't craft. Stores/bridges/etc. help, but lets face it, you're looking for something you can spam if you're trying to crank up your rating, so like, empty your closet on to your beach. But only for development.

What Isabelle says doesn't actually matter. She's asking for fences? gently caress it, plant flowers. She's asking for more shops? gently caress it, just throw a sofa on the beach (just make sure it's store bought).


And as ever, because this is literally all I seem to care about don't pick your weeds.

Weed picking is a personal choice. They don't help town rating at all, but they don't hurt it. Do not do it just to boost your rating. It makes me sad because as far as I can tell there's no way to actually grow them, so if you pick a tall weed it's gone forever.

Going to quote this whole thing for the new page.

But about the end point. Planted weeds do grow. Someone up thread mentioned that they grow in response to water —canned and rain.

I planted a bunch that began super short and that are now tall. I watered them a couple times and had a bunch of rain.

I believe the same post also mentioned that they also have a chance to spread( with a greater chance depending on how many weeds total you have), so you can reseed your island.

I really don’t know the technical details, so don’t quote me there, but I do have evidence that they do grow back into tall weeds.

I decided to jump back in time to get some of those cherry blossom recipes. I started playing just a few days after it ended, so I figure it’s worth time traveling for. There are maybe 3 or 4 recipes I want, so I’ll quit once I get them

I’ve discovered a few things and have a question.

1) it’s really drat hard to collect the recipes. I initially thought I’d wait for it to happen in the Southern Hemisphere, but now I know that wouldn’t work at all. Maybe you could refresh your blossom supply. No way any visitor is getting a recipe, though.

2) I’ve barely played back in early April and I already hate everything to do with the eggs. I can’t imagine almost 2 weeks of that.

3) other than turnips, is there anything to know or worry about with time travel?

Make sure to catch the petals when you spot them, too.

Oh! I’ll have to try this out.

I was just tooting around the island like I normally do and getting the balloons as they spawned. Doing some jumps to swap between morning noon and night.
