How do I plant flowers I have requisitioned from other islands? I dug holes to plant, but I am only getting Wear/Place Item/Drop Item/Grab 1 as options. I know I planted them yesterday, but now I cannot seem to figure it out. This is a simple thing, but it is driving me nuts!

You picked the blossoms only. You have to use a shovel to dig up the plant w/ rootball intact

i am a rootball intactivist lol

why do i keep getting the page snipes

Is the second player just screwed out of a bunch of the basic furniture recipes then? Talking about the garden table/chair, water pump, wooden swing, wooden bed, etc. And, most importantly, he didn't get the recipe for the ladder.

So this is super annoying. Apparently for the critical tools like the Ladder, the recipe can be bought from Nook's Cranny. But there's a crapton of other recipes that Tom Nook gave the primary player when tasking them with building three new houses that I still can't find an explanation for. Is the second player just locked out of these?

Any Northern Hemisphere people catch a Blue Marlin yet? The Gamespot page lists it as Nov->April & July->Sept., All Day, at the Pier, but despite throwing tons of bait I never seemed to get one. (Though I did have a big shadow that got away because the bite was quick) - it was raining and I got a few Colecanths though.

Yes, off my pier yesterday evening. No tuna yet though. I probably caught 30-40 other fish off the pier before catching it. I wasn't able to get it with bait, but I left and came back and caught it immediately.

I don't believe bait increases or decreases good fish compared to natural fish, so I think that was just chance. I caught plenty of golden trout with bait, for example.

This is a shot in the dark, does anyone have iron nuggets they can donate? I've bonked my island up and I've been to two new islands but I just get an abundance of clay and rock. I've got 8 iron nuggets in total from two days trying.

That�s incredibly unlucky! I�d say more than a third of the rock hits result in an iron nugget for me.

I'm just assuming bait forces a spawn, which is handy for "location specific" fish.

I haven't caught any Tuna either.

Look for spots on the beach where a shadow spits out water. Dig 'em up. Those are normally clams but they can be the parts when Gulliver is around.

After visiting a few towns online I have a wonderful orchard growing. Some time traveler had Saharah in town so I got a nice meadow wallpaper. Sitting on 300 turnips and 70k bells, things are looking good!

Okay, so after Nook sends me to build homes, can I still recruit villagers off islands? I'm addicted to recruiting, but if I can't do it for a while I'm'a back off of island tours.

I got Cole, though. Worth it.

How many turnips should I buy if I have around 90,000 bells?

I never did the stalk markets in the previous games, but I wanna do it now.

Yeah I caught the vast majority of my location-specific fish with bait. Cherry salmon, golden trout, sturgeon, etc. I think as far as fish that are leaving soon I'm only missing stringfish which I just have had no luck with whatsoever and the tuna.

So it wasn't just me! My monkey jock Flip gave me one as well to "attract new visitors" so, um, okay. I placed it down since checking the catalog shows you can't order another one, otherwise I would've just sold it.

I was pleasantly surprised to see my two starter villagers have houses now. I visited Rocket and she was busy building a wooden bin, which she gave me the DIY recipe for. (Building it and then talking to her again got no response, oh well.)

There's no way to store turnips other than throwing them on the floor, right? If I open my island up can people steal them or are they safe in my house?

This is accurate. At a very minimum, marlin and tuna I believe are dock-only.

If you're already on a family subscription then presumably you're covered, unless you mean you're on a family subscription with accounts that aren't the ones you're talking about.

Yeah, it's the latter. Seven other real life people are on the account, and I intend to eventually make seven extra accounts on my Switch for more houses to design.
