I somehow got it in my head that the only way to "mine" a rock was to destroy it - and that you only got a few/one material from it. So when I started seeing quests needing 30 iron, and furniture needing multiples too - I thought the game got really grindy very quickly.
Thankfully I stumbled on a post highlighting tricks for beginners and realizes what I was doing wrong.
Now to wait forever for my island to repopulate with rocks. 😅

I made the same mistake!

So I went to a Nook Island and I was thinking that they only have native fruit and coconuts like people think...I went to the island and it has apples everywhere :O

This nonsense with donations constantly not being available is easily one of the worst things about this game. The amount of people's islands flooded with bugs, fish, and fossils is absurd.

Yeah it could have been handled much better.
I suppose at least once the museum is built it goes back to being like New Leaf. Which was annoying but not as bad as the first few days of NH

I'm very curious to see what this game looks like a week or two from now when all of the main island setup is presumably finished

I am so frustrated with these islands. I have visited 6 or 7 today and gotten no foreign fruit, no spiders, no treasure rocks, nothing. And to top it off I am literally at an island where I keep fishing up rocks and garbage....like really?

Anyone have a list of the seasonal fish/bugs that need to be caught before April?
Been trying to put together a spreadsheet to keep track of my own catches, lemme see if I can transfer things over real quick. Everything here will stop appearing at the end of the month and may not reappear for several months:

Fish:
Bitterling
Football Fish
Sea Butterfly
Stringfish
Sturgeon
Yellow Perch

Bugs:
Emperor Butterfly

Edit: I should note this is for Northern Hemisphere. I don't have the data for Southern.

So I guess I know why I'm so low on iron lol, I only have 2 rocks spawning on my main island. Maybe I'll have enough for the shop tomorrow. :/

Had my most profitable island trip yet at 20k bells. Tons of respawning Man-Faced Stinkbugs. While it's not Tarantula level goodness, it's a start.

Thanks for this -- I think I've caught all of these except the Stringfish.

If any of you still have an order left for the Nook Shopping and need bells, I'll pay 100k for KK albums I don't have. I have Faire, Dixie, and D&B.

nice! I came across an island earlier where every tree had apples. That's was my best haul. I think 49 apples. I'm still jonesing for the spider isle, I'd be happy with the stinky man bug isle. Just get me outta debt!

Ha same! My wife and daughter had to explain to me...I'd wiped out my entire island's rock supply...

I think the main room in my Animal Crossing house is almost done. I just want to create one or two more posters and then I'll just need to get some decent furniture.

Now if I can decorate the extensions like the side rooms or whatever, then I'll make an art gallery.

If anyone wants any of the posters I made, let know. Now if only I can figure out how to upload them to share them.

Those are incredible. I'd like to have them but yea, also not sure how to share... maybe when we have access to the Able Sisters?

I still miss Brewster :(
Same... miss chatting with him and drinking those burning hot coffees.

I will pay whatever for a poster or two. Especially the link or FF one. All of those are downright amazing.

good... in which ways?

I have one >_>
I paid 100k for one so I'd say I overpay significantly. 😄
Got 5 million bells from selling turnips at this person's town and I don't want to use any of it on house upgrades because I want to work towards that by myself. So I'm using it to spend on catalog items.

Currently looking for KK albums (which I'll pay 100k a pop for) and kitchen stuff.
