Is there a way to make an incline to the secret beach? I'd prefer not to have to use a ladder all the time. I guess I just have to do a lot of unplanned landscaping since a river blocks a good section to get there.

So happy I decided to dig out a one cliff path to that beach and hide it with trees so it's a "secret passage" (that you can see if you're on the second level, but whatever).

I'll take anything you don't want. I was thinking sometime maybe next week when I don't have people rushing in to sell turnips, I'll open up for people who want to exchange DIY stuff or furniture to catalog.

I'll bring the most unique of the bunch. I distribute DIYs and have been building up to a big cataloging event for my island, as well! Had to pause briefly so I could grow at least one Lily of the Valley before dropping back to 4 stars and a lot of "litter."

Ah, I found a way to do it without disrupting my high river. Yeah I was thinking about that kind of thing but in the end decided to make it easy to reach from my northmost level 3 house. Speaking of which I'm having to move the house back to my original placement so tomorrow I can move it AGAIN since it was one space too far left to line up with the incline leading up to it :doh:


Uh, I had the opportunity to put my house down after placing a ramp, and I COULD NOT get the door to line up with the ramp. I'm not sure if it was an issue with the ramp placement or if it's just how it works--at the very least, be forewarned...


I wonder if changing my exterior will make it line up?

Leaving by minus is fine. It doesn't reset anything. Leaving by minus when someone's window is open and it counts down to 0 is not fine--that's when it resets to the previous save for folks still on the island.

It would work out better to catalog the floor lights--there are red, orange, pink, blue, light blue, green, white, and purple colors. It'd just be faster to catalog. I also have another pinball machine.

The gold equipment isn't all that worthwhile, unfortunately. The gold watering can is worth it since it makes watering flowers more efficient (and it won't break after one field), adding more functionality in the upgrade.

But the gold axe and gold slingshot add nothing other than durability. And now that Nook's Cranny is updated, I can just buy level 2 equipment at will.

Celeste making an appearance isn't always a guarantee that there will be a full-on shower, but it usually means there may be a few meteors here and there. In those cases, it can be an extremely long time between meteors (which usually appear when I give up and start fishing or something).

If there's going to be a genuine meteor shower, then apparently your other residents will be talking about it all day too. I've never had a meteor shower in over a month of playing, and I only just participated in my first one on someone else's island last night, and the difference was really marked -- loads more meteors than I'd ever seen before.


To add to this, your neighbors will rather strongly hint at a meteor shower, stepping outside their normal, random observations. "Wow, it's really clear today. Tonight will be great to look at some stars!" and the like.

emdash posted:

you can easily make like 200 wishes in a meteor shower night. You'll get about 10% of that in fragments. And yeah your villagers will talk all day about how clear the skies are going to be that night, and how there "might" be a meteor shower


10% of that if you make exactly 200 wishes and don't live on the island: :haw:

1 wish = 1 drop.

You cap at 20 star fragments (of whatever type) if you travel to someone else's island and wish. You cap at 40 on your own island. The pieces appear on your own beach the next day.

i'm not sure what you mean by 1 wish = 1 drop. i made 160 wishes in one night on my own island and got ~16 beach items the next day :shrug:

They don't all appear on the beach at the same time. They appear throughout the day like shells do. Go around, pick them all up, go inside your house or a store, then go back to the beach to see more spawn. You can keep doing this until you get up to 20 or 40, as the case may be.

You'll wind up with like 17 star fragments, then any combination of large fragments and the appropriate Zodiac fragments.

Edit: To be clear, this isn't a guess, I've confirmed this several times over the past month both personally and through reports from friends.

When is my window for replacing a villager who’s leaving by finding a nook island person? Is it while they’re in boxes or when the plot is empty?

Folks won't start appearing on islands until you have a vacant lot.

Goes like this:

Day 1: I'm leaving - normal day
Day 2: Boxes/Packing - can be recruited by others. Once recruited, their door shuts, but you cannot recruit anyone yet.
Day 3: Vacant lot - can find folks on mystery islands, recruit others.
Day 4-6: Whoops, it's gone to some random animal because you took too long!
