Nope, that's a feature that's been Japanese exclusive since the first game I think.

Wait, what is this? You can't name your island "[blank] island"? Or am I misunderstanding

You can name your island, for example, "ABC Island" because that's 10 characters.

In Japan, you can name it "ABC" and then the suffix "Island" will be added to it, and since Japanese is Japanese, you can also choose how that Island is read because it can be either shima, jima, or tou depending on the name.

People thought this might carry over to the English version with Island, Isle, or Island Of being attached to the name but that is not the case. The name of your island is just whatever you put in those 10 spaces.

Ah okay

Aw poop. So I'm gonna have to wait a day for it I assume?

I wanted a particular spot on a little island surrounded by water, but it turns out you don't get the vault stick for a while. I'm able to upgrade my tent to a house now, but I still really want that location at some point. Can I move all my poo poo to a new spot later once it's a house?

edit: Also there's apparently a bottle message on the beach but there are parts of the beach I can't get to becasue of the rivers :v:

I sold all my rocks before I knew that I needed a rock to create an ax/shovel. Luckily I remember fishing out rocks from the river. I have been fishing for 3 hours and have not gotten one rock. This is awful.

You can just buy an axe from the racoon in the tent if you can't find a rock

Is the "villager that you can't stand" solution still to just ignore them until they leave?

I will sacrifice my "talk to villagers" nook miles if it means getting rid of them.

I imagine it also works like New Leaf where you can just keep hitting them with the net and eventually they realize they aren't wanted

I have to go to bed so unfortunately the tarantula trick just didn't work for me. I followed the instructions but butterflies just kept spawning no matter what. Probably won't spend the time to do that again considering the timeframe doesn't work with my sleep schedule. Also related to the schedule thing, It's also very cool how the turnip girl only shows up for a very short time in the morning on Sunday instead of just all day.

The spiders is one thing, spawns based on time is fine, the turnip lady however only being available for that short time on one day is stupid as hell. I just straight up can't buy turnips from her if I have work that day. Just make her an all day thing. What's the problem

So I didn't realize how inviting people to your island worked. I've got three randos coming over now. After looking them up, one of them I want out of there as soon as possible. When you finally get someone to move out, does their house then become a vacant lot that you can go and find someone to fill or will it automatically fill it with a random villager right away?

Phenotype posted:

Which villager, and what makes them so awful you want to kick them out? I wasn't crazy about some of mine, but they've mostly all grown on me. Eunice seemed boring, but she's just shy and tries to make friends and I can't do that to her! I've got Bud who's a pretty cool workout guy, shredded, Pinky who's a kpop dancer or something, and Filbert who also seemed kinda lame, but he's sweet and I caught him singing with Pinky in the plaza, so I think he's a part of the village now too. The only one I'm iffy on is Plucky, and it's just cause he seems really generic.

Some stupid cow is gonna be moving in. I hate them already. The villager I really want is that strawberry cake rhino. So when I get to the point where a villager can move out, will they leave an empty lot or does that lot get auto filled with a new rando?

How do I go about farming presents? I'm reading the spawn every 10 minutes (on 5 minute marks, so like 05, 15, etc) but the first one I learned the direction I thought they came from were wrong and watched one present float off into the ocean, and the second time I didn't see it spawn at all on the correct side. How do I catch them on time? Can they spawn in any place on the right or will they always spawn in line of sight? I dunno if running up and down the beach is the right call or not. I really want the cherry blossom recipes

Does this rabbit not show up all the time? I was under the impression he hangs out for the event but he's not in my town anywhere.

I also have to restart my whole game to get the egg stuff to even start spawning cause balloons weren't spawning at all and the egg stuff wasn't starting up at all.

With non easter balloons, do the balloon colors mean anything, like what the present will contain, or is the color just flavor

And just making sure, if you have, have you talked to Zipper? He makes all the eggs happen.

For the record you don't have to talk to Zipper first. I didn't see Zipper until like an hour later when I went way north into my island looking for him. I just had to close and restart my game to get the eggs going but once I came back in eggs were placed and in trees and stuff.

In the day the balloon colors seem random. Or maybe after a set number of random ones.

Then it seems to be...

blue - materials
yellow - bells
green - items
red - DIY

So I just got a yellow balloon that had a DIY recipe in it, so it seems like the balloon colors don't matter.

Also the recipe I got was for another bamboo item. I have gotten 2 cherry blossom recipes today so I'm not sure what that's about.

Yes. Right now all my normal trees are in bloom for spring. I discovered you can net those floating pink petals, but I don't know what they're good for yet.

There's a bunch of cherry blossom recipes that use them. They're pretty hard to come by, I went after normal balloons literally all day yesterday and got two of the cherry blossom recipes. So for now just stock up on petals before the trees turn back to normal.

There's always more to do! Earth Day is coming, and the datamines have revealed a potential museum shop/cafe and gyroids so we know there's DLC coming. There will be a lot more to do than waiting for the season to change so you can collect more stuff, but there isn't much more story stuff for now unless you're really into the Bunny Day stuff.

I REALLY hope the Cafe comes. I don't remember if coffee really did anything, but when I had New Leaf I always came in and got a cup of coffee because it literally made me in real life feel more relaxed
