KaijuVille has oranges as well! I was hoping for those or peaches so I'm in a great spot already! :c00l:

I was bummed that I couldn't put my tent on the little outcropping on the westmost point of my island but hey.

Apparently you can also continuously shake trees for extra branches. I would shake one tree, get a branch, move on and shake the next tree. You can just shake the same tree a bunch of times to get like 5 branches. I'm sure this is obvious to some people, but it wasn't to me, haha.



Thanks for this. I thought I was stuck because I had no branches to craft more tools so I was prepared to wait until tomorrow.

You got it. The first character to launch the game is the lead character on the island.

Also you can flat out shovel and replant entire trees. I took some coconut trees and extra apple trees home from the deserted island I visited, as well as some flowers. The benefit to this is you don't need to wait extra days for them to grow on your island, the only downside is it takes a fruit-energy to do. It's also helpful if you want to do landscaping on your town without straight up chopping down trees. Cheers everyone!
holy poo poo this is a game changer thank you for that I've been planting fruit like old-school ACs

I got peaches first try, is that a good thing or bad thing? They look like butts and that's funny, but if everyone else has the same are they worth less? I dunno what color my airport is.

I feel like I've run out of stuff to do today. All the weeds are weeded in the section I can access. Opened my mail, bought some stuff. Can't craft anything because all the sticks are gone. Should I be rebuying poles and nets and catching stuff and selling it? Is there a way to store items that isn't my pockets or taking up physical space in my tiny tent?

It's my first real AC and I'm enjoying it but I wonder if there are some obvious mechanics I dont understand yet.

Shake trees for more branches. Donate fish and bugs to Tom Nook. Talk to your neighbors. Chill super hard.

Keep shaking the trees! You can shake them again and again and more sticks fall out. You will get storage when you get a home. You can also just put stuff down on the ground.

i do ring fitness until my knees hurt too much and play a hour/half hour of animal crossing. it's more of a "hobby" than a game, you play it an hour a day. think "the sims"

For whatever reason like half the default hairstyles are unavailable at character creation but you can change to them as soon as you build or buy a mirror.

Nook also sells more hairstyles for miles at his kiosk



The only permanent decisions are

Name
Island name
Color of airport
Where your rivers go into the ocean
Which fruit is native to your island (sells for less than non native fruit)


Literally everything else can eventually be changed/terraformed

can't speak to the first question, but you get new hairstyles by purchasing them the nook miles vending machine. there are a few groupings to choose from. e: fb

Does anybody who owns the Animal Crossing switch know if the game is a separate code, or if it’s already downloaded into the console? My friend is having theirs delivered on Tuesday and wants to get the game earlier.

How far, Doctor?
How long have you lived?

Loving the game, so far.

One thing I find somewhat irritating is that you have to use the shovel to move flowers around. If you mess up planting them in the right spot, you have to get out your shovel, dig them up, fill in the hole, and then replant the flower.

The switch doesn't come with the game. At least in the US, dunno internationally. Also, if they start on another switch there is currently no way to transfer that island to their new switch.

Aww! I'm excited to scan my first amiibo in, I have some cards of my favorites.

The durability of tools is not among those favorites though. This has probably been asked (sorry if so, the thread is moving fast), but are there any "final" upgrades of the tools that don't break?

The local co-op is pretty underwhelming. P2 basically can't do anything, anything you pick up poofs into the lost and found box and you can't really keep an inventory. I had hoped I'd at least be able to have the same stuff in my pockets as when I was solo and trade or exchange between the two of us.

A note to anyone who hasn't started playing yet: If you have a couple island layouts to choose from that you like, definitely go with one that doesn't have too many rivers. I picked one that had a mini island near the center to build my house on, but with the way the water flows I'm stuck on a small 1/3rd of the total area because I don't have a pole vault or bridges yet :(

Related to that, I know you can move your house/big buildings like the museum, but what about other villager's houses? My small starting area is kind of cramped and I'd like to spread things out more once I have the ability to do so.

I managed to get pears (never had them before), a red airport and Katt and Kody as my starting villagers.

Although since I started at 6 am, I think I've done all I can for the day and will have to continue tomorrow.

I got tired of restarting and took apples after the second time they came up. My starting neighbors are Katt, who is cool and I like, and Dom, who is chill for a jock type. Must be the tie-dye shirt, that's why I kept him.

My tent and airport are yellow, which worked out for me. I'll be stealing your peaches and littering Yellow Sign t-shirts before you know it!
