 I love my island, apples, and blue airport, but I'm really starting to dislike my companions. I got Tank and Rocket and they're both pretty meh.

i vomit kittens posted: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 You can easily get the pole in 1 day.

villager posting? villager posting. Got these three so far:   Only cute villagers allowed on my island. Dom is extra adorable, but unfortunately, is a jock. drat you, Dom. Clocks posted: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!

roomtwofifteen posted:Yeah my wife and I ran into this already a little. As Player 2 she couldn't give the initial donations to start the museum process/get early recipes like the axe. I had to go in and do that. It does sound like after everything's doled out and the game is open that things will be relatively the same for both players. How sure are you about the latter part there? I've heard that player 2 (or 3 or 4 or whatever) cannot do any number of the following: * terraforming * invite villagers in any way * move things around on the island, at least not everything that P1 can * basically anything except upgrade your own house. I have no idea what the actual situation is because I keep hearing people confirming all or none of the things as problems. Does anyone actually know what P2 can't do that P1 can?

I guess I’m tapped out on day one. Did pretty much everything I can think of. Tried to use a Nook Ticket to fly and buy a shovel but the Airport dude is adamant that he’s just opening and they’re not doing flights today.

My AC Switch and the game turned up at midday today. I also got the carry case and a tote bag. I'm all AC-ed up. I got a blue airport, which I wanted, and oranges as my fruit, which I'm fine with. My starting villagers are Sylvia (who will not be allowed to stick around on my wonderful island) and Bam (meh).

Apparently if you hit them with a stone axe they vomit goodies at you. I'm going to have to grind some miles to go to a deserted island to get the iron to get the shop building. EDIT: also do we ever get the ability to reorganize our pockets?

Got Diva and Pierce for my first two hoopleheads, along with apples. Trying to get everything done so my wife isn't quite as hamstrung when she starts up later today, but it's already so nice and calm. Just what I needed.

Does anyone know anything about adding your tune to the game? I just assumed it'd be there from the start but maybe not as I haven't seen an option. my buddy Superfly posted:This game is extremely good, I made another drawing of doom guy hanging out with isabelle because they're friends.

Apparently if you hit them with a stone axe they vomit goodies at you. I'm going to have to grind some miles to go to a deserted island to get the iron to get the shop building. It's eating fruit! If you have 1/10 (or more) fruit in your belly, you'll destroy the rock with any tool (at least, I was doing so with a flimsy axe.) If you want to farm the rock (and digging a hole behind you is still necessary to ~*min/max*~) you gotta go cut down a tree or something to get down to 0/10. I don't like this! Might just perpetually starve myself until rock materials aren't in high demand.

Something that's saving me a lot of hassle is this: place a DIY crafting station anywhere outside that's easily accessible and just dump all your materials around it.

 I wish I had time to play last night when the game went live. I have to wait another whole day (hopefully just a day?) for Blathers cuz I've pulled every weed and paid off my tent already and there's nothing else to do.

It's the upgrade to New Leaf we've all been waiting for for like 8 years now. The only immediate downside I can come up with so far is it's just a touch less convenient due to the lack of a second screen (gotta stand still for a second to see the map pop up, inventory management is a little more tedious with no touch screen, etc.) Just nitpicking, though. Other than that it's amazing.

Man I am bad at playing this game the way you're supposed to. I logged in at 12am on release to get the D1 stuff over with & then spent the entire day today grinding. I went to visit uninhabited islands 5 different times today and didn't like a single villager I met. I still invited three of them tho cos wanna get the ball rolling.
