Where/when can I catch a red snapper? The wikis say ocean / day / summer/fall/winter, but I have tried all three ocean docks, the shallows, and all three rods at all three times of day and I just can't seem to find them.

In my experience, if you can catch red mullets then you can catch red snappers. For what it's worth, I caught all of mine to date off the docks in front of Willy's shop. My reference chart says 6AM - 7PM for catching. Also they're a rather uncommon catch; RNG may just be making GBS threads on you.

Thanks, I'll keep trying. Does the type of rod determine fish available to catch, or just size/quality?

Edit: Looks like complaining helped. Caught one at 8:30am on a rainy day in the fall on Willie's dock.

For the regular trees (maple/pine/acorn) does the 28 days/middle of 3x3 square still apply? Could I up the density for a super tree farm?

People keep coming in to ask about fishing and I think it needs to go into the OP that there are different fishing difficulty spots. I'm fairly sure if you go into the deep ocean dock at night in the rain, all the fish will spaz out and you won't catch poo poo with the starting fish kit but other spots they will barely move. I've had a fish that just stayed at the bottom and I didn't have to click once to catch.

In my experience, every type of fish has a movement pattern. Pike, for instance, are super jumpy and fight a lot with lots of jumps. Bream's, on the other hand, barely put up a fight.

Do mushroom trees live through the Winter or should you chop them down at the end of the season?

Regular trees that you plant seem to grow randomly instead of on a set time scale. If a tree is big already in one of the 8 adjacent tiles then it won't grow to full size I think.

It doesn't have the fruit tree massive free space requirement.

Fruit trees grow during winter. Regular trees do not. This is a pretty important piece of information because you will run out of wood during winter.

They eat hay. You can buy it at Marnie's or, once you have a silo, mowing down grass with your scythe will magically make it appear there.
e: also, white chickens lay white eggs and brown ones lay brown eggs. JUST LIKE REAL LIFE. shut up :mad:

There's a lot of poo poo in this game that isn't explained very well. I wasted like 10 days before I realized I had to actually put hay out for the chicken to lay on before they would do anything.

You will eventually learn to craft that. Finding it is SO much easier since it requires something like 5 iridium bars and a couple other things.

the flower dance pairings make me wonder if there's a Mineral Town rival system, where the people you don't marry will end up marrying each other eventually. if there is, I guess I'm dooming Sebastian to always stand in the corner alone.

There probably is, I walked in on a scene in the clinic that pretty heavily seemed to imply something between Harvey and Maru.

I guess something happens after some time/if you see enough events.

The Glacierfish is probably the easiest of the four I've tried so far. The one off the eastern pier on the beach during the summer is absolutely impossible.

It sure would have made my first 3 weeks less painful. Throwing away loot that I could have sold and beelining for the backpack expander made the first bit a bit miserable considering my tools took up half my inventory space.

It takes a few days, I haven't kept track, however I want to say it's at least 3 days. If you're trying to get in good with Harvey, one pot will give him enough pickled jars for one week of gifting, barely.

Yes. The time offered is an average. One of my melons finished growing in 7 days for example.

Hoe the ground. Apparently your entire field is clay, and you'll get tons of clay as you go.

I've mostly got it at random from tilling the soil on the farm, although it has also dropped when I dig up the little earthworm tiles around town. I think I've also found it in mine crates? I haven't found a reliable way to get it yet

Yes and the line gets longer the more upgraded the can is. I was kinda disappointed by the iron upgrade to be honest. :(
