I spent a couple hours trying to get the supposedly common fly to spawn, in that time I got punked by spiders twice and had to entertain Fauna by playing treasure hunter. In the end I had two whole flies spawn and I missed the first one and accidentally scared off the second one.

When does Celeste even show up? I've had multiple visits by everyone but Kicks and Leif, but not a single owl who isn't Blathers.  Also never got shooting stars yet either. Only reason I even have a wand is because I'm so good at fishing.

someone awful. posted:that's not a thing, lol. sometimes they'll say something like "gee i'm curious about xyzland where buttface lives", but they don't just... spontaneously pack up. and you can't steal villagers just by talking to them, the only way to get someone else's villager to move to your island is speaking to them the day they are packed up in boxes to leave That's changed since New Leaf then, because in that I unwittingly stole Vesta from a friend's town simply by talking to her once.

dracky posted:I had no clue that you can get posters of your villagers by using them at Harv's island. I admit I pretty much blew past the tutorial the first time, but if you go into the same room-edit mode like your house you can put down your villagers in the studio, and when you go back to your island Harv will tell you the posters are available at the Nook Stop. Dude only mentions you can have your neighbors model but doesn't say how. I honestly thought it was impossible and they left some old version dialog in or something. I also hadn't done any remodeling of the room because I didn't have any interesting furniture to put in anyways. Only used the island to grab the posters of the amiibos I have. So, thanks for posting and telling me how to do it!

Clocks posted:I'll have to check the guide to see what it says about weeding, but fun fact — apparently watering weeds causes them to grow (or have a chance to grow, and possibly spread). Yes you can water weeds. If having weeds has no effect on town rating I may need to go plant some in for fun. This gives me hope at least.

Calico Heart posted:Okay y'all. I have a visitor at my campsite. Every time they suggest someone move out and they move in, I reset the game. At this point they have now asked if they can replace every single villager in my town except Rocket, some of villagers they've offered to replace multiple times. Rocket was one of my starting villagers, however they've also asked if they can replace Goose, another of my starting villagers. One of the ingredients for a robot hero is a Rocket. What I'm saying is if you wanna get rid of her so bad, get to DIYing.  Or just get an amiibo card from somewhere.

I'm fairly certain animals can teleport while offscreen, as long as there's a valid path. Just had Queenie zip around all over the place while I was running around trying to catch some fish. Also, my turnip forecast went from 35% big spike 10% small spike to 80% fluctuating 20% small spike. But the small spike is teensy and the max on fluctuating is 15 more than my buy price. I'm 1.5M in the hole, you chill goons of this thread are my only hope. Captain Hygiene posted:Not even a toilet, what kind of monster are you Nice post/name combo. E: Would also be real cool if the nook mile redemption thing told me I already had the recipe for rock fence before taking my miles and printing a useless piece of paper.

I guess I'd already gotten the stone fence recipe elsewise then. 'Cause it sure didn't warn me when I bought it today. Checked just now and now it actually warns.  Still annoying that the fences you already have show up in that thing, when all the other DIY recipes are available once only.

I just noticed even this game rightfully shits on flat earthers. The ocean horizon has curvature.Fojar38 posted:All of it is trash that I fished up, so yes boots cans and tires. It took me way longer than I expected to find a fly myself. I had a 4x3 grid of mostly tyres, some boots and a few cans in an otherwise clear space and the first few times a fly spawned I missed it. As in it was zipping around too much and I missed my swing. My suggestion is to wait for it to sit down and then slowly approach.

Celeste finally showed up for me last night. Only a weak-rear end shower, but it's better than nothing. Also, a balloon gave me an embroidered tank, which I thought would look cute on Fauna after taking a very quick look at it in my cooler. Turns out it's quite short, which I should've guessed from the name, and now my deer likes to sometimes walk around the island in lingerie.

In my case it was not so much a shower as there were maybe 30 shooting stars in a 2 hour time span. I just left the game running with the camera pointed up and hit A whenever I heard the twinkle while watching YouTube.

I've had animals ask to leave on consecutive days. E: On that note, if an animal leaves and you pull them back in via Amiibo or something, will they remember you? It was very heartbreaking in City Folk when Ruby was by BFF and then suddenly went "lol I'm moving out" and then when I came across her in the city she didn't even act like there was any history.

You know what would be rad? If Nintendo would add the pattern creator to the app, so you can make patterns on the go (at work, instead of working) and then shoot them over to the game once you're back home/your Switch connects to wifi somewhere. Right now it's nothing more than a glorified qr code scanner and keyboard. All the other options are useless.

Blaziken386 posted:IMO it is extremely dumb that you can't invite boxed villagers to your campsite, and then have them replace someone from there They made it sound like you'd only get a very slow drip of animals moving in, through the campsite. But after the first smug one you just pick out plots and the next day they're already sold. On one hand I get it, it'd be boring if it took too long. In the other, would it really be so hard for Nook to cool his loving jets and let you reserve a plot for future development?

Macaluso posted:It's weird they just chose not to playtest terraforming at all. A big company like Nintendo I would figure they'd playtest everything but they just chose not to with terraforming for some reason I figured I'd try making some paths to my zen spa area, had plans to make a nice curvy path and then plop down some raked sand patterns around it. Can't make paths that aren't 90° angles, can't have gentle turns on the inside of corners, only on the outside, can't connect to a bridge that's at 45° and it's a lot of guesswork to figure out which tile will get changed if you move. I ended up giving up in frustration because terraforming absolutely needs a UI that shows the grid, or at least which tile you're targeting. Building cliffs or water features is also extremely frustrating.

This game's RNG is hosed up* and Nintendo nerfing rare bug spawns doesn't help either. *And I'm sure they don't wanna fix it because they turned it into a "feature" by having Celeste say shooting stars tend to come in groups.

NofrikinfuN posted:I got pretty annoyed yesterday to discover that I was missing three river fish that were currently in season because they are all available during work hours. I'm pretty sure I also miss half of my available turnip prices for the same reason. Working 8-5 sucks. I should probably start checking guides so I don't miss fish like I did with the tuna and marlins. I'm in the same boat, so let me introduce you to a technique I lovingly refer to as Time Compression™®©. Step 1: Wake up Switch into home menu. Step 2: Close game. Step 4: Go to options. Step 5: Turn off internet time syncing. Step 6: Set time to anything between you last save and current time; I like to go for 10:something in the morning. Step 7: Start game. Step 8: Do early morning/afternoon stuff. Step 9: Save game. Step 10: Close game. Step 11: Adjust time forwards, out just sync back to real time. Step 12: Enjoy a newfound work - life balance where you don't have to get stressed out by missing things in this real time based game. This is absolutely safe for turnips, as long as you don't go back further than your last save. If you don't close the game between clock changes, they won't take.
