So the shop that opens up happens to sell the ladder recipe.

One type of tree can only be planted on the north side of your island or something. It may be that.

It was this. Specific to a certain terrain, but the message you get trying to plant it where it can't be planted is just a generic 'there's no space here' message.

I sold my cardboard box. Can I get a new one or will I be able to build something relatively early for storage? I have a toolbox but I can't put anything in it for some reason.

You get free storage when you upgrade to a house. The cardboard box doesn't really store anything.

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


Day two was eventful: I managed to get all the supplies for Nook's Cranny and gave 15 things to the museum before 10 am, and I managed to complete the Cast Master challenge thing (which was hard and may have involved some resetting).

I also convinced a blue goat and a red squirrel to move in, but it might be a while if I read things right. I'll probably need to make another island trip.

Maybe I’m getting old or something (I never used to have this problem) but I seem to be having trouble catching the big, rare fish in the ocean (and only them). Do I need to just take a guess when the actual bite will be to get them? Or am I maybe getting screwed by a bit of audio lag in my setup somewhere?

Don't even need the audio cues. I was fishing last night trying to get a high streak and was watching 30 Rock. You get a stronger vibration when the fish actually bites, so you learn to jus tignore the baby nibbles and only tap when you feel that bigger buzz.

Yeah, as I said I invited two but got the thing for three. However there's no knowing if it's going to be someone I saw or someone completely random. I'm sure the game will push you through the building houses part regardless of whether you invited someone anyway, otherwise people would be stuck grinding miles until they find the perfect villagers and that seems very anti-AC to have to do something specific like that to move your island forward.

One of my favourite things to do on other players’ islands is take out my harmonica and just playing it around them randomly. I feel like it’s a weird way of communicating and I have a weird sense of fun playing nonsensical notes.

the can becomes a planter for flowers

The second can you get can become a finger harp!

The first two islands I traveled to had the exact same fruit (oranges) and flowers as mine :argh: but I was able to get enough material for Timmy to start building the new store. It and the Museum open tomorrow I guess?

The third island had bamboo which is neat; I brought some back to plant. But when you chop at a bamboo you can get bamboo pieces and spring bamboo pieces. Will they be used later to craft stuff?

Also I'm now going to upgrade my house again to make it bigger, but I've planted a bunch of flowers around my place and I don't want to lose them. Is there a guide online somewhere that I can see how big the place will be (2nd house after tent) so I can plan accordingly?

Also I had no idea yesterday that you could purchase tools from Timmy and a ton of presents floated by because I didn't have the slingshot :doh:

OH! And often when I'm walking around I'll hear the creaking song of an insect but there is nothing visible anywhere. I seem to remember in a past AC game that this was a buried insect? Am I thinking correctly? It's driving me crazy... maybe a Jerusalem cricket?

Timmy sells the DIY recipe for axe (and flimsy axes) on the second page of store items. To get the shovel I think you gotta talk to Blathers in the museum tent.

Is travelling to mystery islands going to be the main way to trick animals into moving to my Nook's slum? Or will they eventually turn up on their own?

Actually why are they standing around on deserted islands in the first place?

I have furniture placed directly to the left and right sides of my house. I just paid to make the house bigger. Will I need to move the furniture before the house gets expanded? I’m worried if I don’t Nook will be like “Sorry, there was stuff in the way. Move it and we’ll try again tomorrow”.

I believe any furniture that ends up being in the way of construction just gets sent to the recycle bin in resident services

Going by previous games the footprint of the house exterior won't actually change. The model does have some aesthetic differences based on upgrades (dormer windows on the roof when you get a second floor, for instance.)
