Gulliver confused the hell out of me when he asked me to look for suspicious spots on the beach. Why would radio components squirt water at me?


This had me confused for so long as well. I had seen the clams squirting water the previous night, so I was running right by all of them looking for something like fossil spots or glowing spots in the sand, and when I didn't see any, went running over my entire island. I was just about to conclude that I had gotten unlucky and that they all must have spawned up on the tier of land I can't reach yet, went to dig up a clam, and got the part. :downs:

Oh my god Blathers, just open up already. My island is running out of room.

Don’t forget to plant your own fruit. This tripped me up for a bit.

Finally got level 3 Cast Master! I agree with whoever said this was a a surprisingly unchill thing for this game. It really sticks out compared to pretty much every other task in the game I’ve seen so far.
It's a bit intense but they give you a lot of leeway with that real bite. What gets me is just hitting A too early cause I'm on edge lol.

I remembered to plant my peaches tho!

Zore posted:

Nope, its Cherries, Apples, Oranges, Peaches, Pears and Coconuts

Electric Phantasm posted:

Have you planted any coconuts?
This was it! Thanks all. I had transplanted like 12 Coconut trees from islands to my beaches but I hadn't actually planted a real coconut. So I'll do that once they grow in and plant it in the cute tiny patch of beach I have hiding at the top of my map.

EDIT: also much thanks to Neim who let my fiance and I run wild on their island for a good time. Got lots of fish and bugs from Autumn. There are a couple more left to get so I'll impose on another southern hemisphere-er in the near future to nab those up.

I'm gonna spend half of tomorrow just listening to Blathers as I try to cram an entire ecosystem into his newly opened museum

Also confirmed online that you can't trade fish or bugs which sucks but I guess it keeps collectors honest.

One visit to liquidypoo's Int'l Dump (I fondly remember Crapton from New Leaf, and I love that you are doing this again already), and one Nook Ticket trip, and I already have every fruit. :toot:

I really wish I'd realized you could repeatedly hit rocks for multiple items when you haven't eaten fruit before I broke every rock on my island. I probably could've had enough iron nuggets for the store already, but now I've got to grind out nook points for more island trips if I want to get this done today.

Hitting rocks is like a little race minigame right? It seems the rocks only spew out materials for a few seconds after the first strike as opposed to having like a set amount of materials.

Okay, so I had to go around getting houses ready, and I started the day with three houses but only 2 villagers definitively invited. Needed more ingots (of course...) and met Chevre (!!! yay! someone I recognize AND like!) and invited her along, so she ended up being my third villager. (Once you're done getting a house ready you can see who it was sold to.) The islands I went to after that didn't have any random villagers wandering around. I don't know if you can invite another wave after this one moves in or if it's random after that. I'm guessing Nook will have you busting your butt off to get plots ready regardless.

Oh god no. I had hoped those wouldn't be necessary after the amount they asked for the shop. Do you remember how many you need? I already played too much today but if it's to avoid a grind tomorrow I will happily do more island runs today.

Yep. Your best bet is to make a hole two spaces away from the rock so that you can stand between the hole and the rock. Once you're standing there, dig one more hole next to you, on either side. This will make a little corner for you so you don't get pushed back or to one of the sides. Then hit away!

The reason you don't put another hole on the other side of you is because you need to keep as much space as possible free for drops from the rock.

The museum doesn't open the day immediately after you donate the 15 pieces. The day after you donate, the tent will be closed and Blathers is nowhere to be found, and then the day after THAT the museum will be open.

The shop will be open though.

Okay, I'm back on page 117 trying to see if anyone needs their friend code entry edited. :v: I may very well miss someone in the chaos, but I'll do my best. In the meantime, if you're not able to PM me here and don't use Discord, it'll probably be more reliable to email me through sabrokenpixel at gmail dot com. I'm gonna try to make a "please fix my poo poo" form later, but I want to clear what already exists first if I can.

So how long does museum take? Blathers has his fossils, he says he's put in the application. Will I have to wait until tomorrow to get approval to place the thing, then another day for it to get built?

It depends. It wasn't as bad as the 30. For the next part of the game you need to set up three houses for nook to sell them, which requires crafting DIY furniture. Some of that furniture required ingots.

The furniture seems to be somewhat randomized, or in different sets, at least. My sis had different things outside her home than I did, which is kinda cool. And yes we both had native fruit components, mine was an apple tree/chair and hers were cherry something.

I legit don't think there's enough storage room for all the stupid fish and insects and bones I have piled up right now outside his half-built museum. I never realized before how obnoxious it would be for him to not be open in the early stages of the game.
