is it worth it to get the golden tools? They apparently break just like other ones, and gold nuggets are rare

What is the order of tools? Wood > Iron > Gold?

I think Iron is perfectly fine without being super rare and are durable enough to not be overly expensive to replace. It's probably more efficient to sell Gold nuggets or save them for the rare furniture that may use gold rather than waste it on a tool that will break.

I have 30 plus another stack of 13 Iron I'm sitting on in storage. I have zero Gold Nuggets, I bet I'm likely to use at least 5 or 6 of those pieces of Iron until I find another Gold Nugget.

Spent 100 fish bait to try and catch the stringfish... no luck at all... I'm so mad, but curious how much money i'll get with all that, lol

Is there a way to boot an individual visitor without closing the session from the - menu?

How does everyone feel about crafting in this game? Granted, I'm not far along, but it really just feels like a nuisance to me. I'm not understanding how it benefits the AC formula in any way, rather than just giving you more busy work.

I'm kind of over it for tools, but I enjoy it for furniture and whatnot.

Dineren · Mar 23, 2020

Maybe this was in New Leaf and I just didn't notice, but I love that you can close the curtains on your windows and it will affect the lighting in the room.

Uhm, how do you get the Axe and Shovel blue prints?

I guess that's the thing—I'm not at a point where I can really craft furniture, since I don't have enough iron for the shop yet.

Bakercat · Mar 23, 2020

Anyone with peaches want some apples?

Edit: opening the gates for anyone. Code is 5FY74

Gradon · Mar 23, 2020

Me and my friends are nerds.

I cant get enough of this game.

I've got Zucker and Felicity moving in tomorrow, I don't know who they are so I'm excited.

Skatterd · Mar 23, 2020

Now that it's been a few days I wanted to check back in because maybe there's more clarity here
2 Switches
1 digital copy

Switch 1 plays as account that bought the game
Switch 2 plays as another account
Each player has their own island (I know this much should be true)
They can also visit each others islands

Does this work?

finalflame · Mar 23, 2020

But..how do you get bait?

Aprikurt · Mar 23, 2020

Getting all the furniture for the first three villagers is a ballache man

Anyone's shop buying turnips for a high price? I'm trying to pay off my loan tonight and I'd really appreciate some help. 😟

ngower · Mar 23, 2020

Is there anything that would be impacted in my game if I visited a friends town who had time traveled?

My town has Turnips for 145 a piece. While not high if you bought them for 90 Gold or so, it'll still be a 1.5X return on your investment.

You could also just wait. Rumor has it Tuesdays is apparently the best day to trade in. According to that IGN article at least.

I used about 50 bait and have yet to catch one. Are stringfish even available in the Northern Hemisphere in March? I'm seeing conflicting info online.

I swear to god when this fucker finally opens this museum I am going to drown his ass in bugs.

finalflame said:

See those little creatures that hide in the sand? You dig those out with the shovel (Japanese Clams) and you can turn them to bait in the crafting table (You learn how the first time you get one).

sharbhund · Mar 23, 2020

finalflame said:

Crafting.

Edit: that was a better explanation above.

I love it. Being able to create furniture for free lets me be more choosy about what I spend my bells/miles on. Not to mention crafting often gives you miles to spend on other things. It's a nice loop. I honestly don't see how it's a nuisance outside the first 2, maybe 3 days. Iron tools last a ton of uses and by that point you should have more than enough materials to always be able to craft them again, unless you're doing something seriously wrong (and aside from that time you had to get 30 iron nuggets)

I just caught one earlier, yes they're available they're just super rare. Make sure you're fishing in the higher terrain areas.

tarantulas are bullshit i can catch one maybe a fourth of the time

Richietto · Mar 23, 2020

Why can't you craft stacks of shit like bait??? What would that take away from the experience. Please Nintendo.

4 is nothing, sadly...it's very rare and I have yet to entcounter a mystery island with a non-native fruit. And I've visited at least 20 by now.

I don't think it's rare. My native fruit is pears and literally every island I've been to (I think I've been to 6) have either been populated with non-native fruit or had my native fruit + coconuts. Do you guys only getting "native fruit" islands not even have coconuts on their beaches?

The game could definitely use some QoL improvements when it comes to mass crafting, separating items (so I don't have to do it 1 by 1), or going down ledges (like auto using the ladder)

Coconuts? Sure. Bamboo? Twice. Other fruits? Nope.

I remember in the 3DS version catching a lot of cicadas on trees. Are they not in this game? Or do they only appear at certain times of the year?

Cicadas emerge from the ground in summer, so that would be around June/November, depending on your hemisphere.

Lyre said:
Still think it's a shame that the animals don't visit the shop/museum etc, but ah well.

Neoriceisgood said:
The one advantage I guess is that you don't have to look -everywhere- for your villagers; but I kinda wish they'd let non-villagers show up in your museum.

There've been promotional material with animals in the Museum, a clip during the Direct, even.

CarlSagan94 said:
I'm certain this has been asked and answered several times but I cannot find the answer. What is the maximum amount of villagers that can reside in your island ? Also I share my island with my brother and his own character, does he count as a villager ?

Yes, you and your brother count towards the total population number, that being 10.

808s & Villainy said:
Someone said it before, but it'd be awesome if the game was updated to give the Museum and aviary. It might not "work" considering birds are one of the animals that are sentient, but it'd be cool

I would be a little akward, but other animal birds that have appeared before include white pigeons, a yellow chick and owls... So maybe?

Cyclonesweep said:
So I planted a bunch of trees with enough space around them yet some aren't growing...anyone know why?

Be careful not to step or run over the sappling, that can damage it.

killuglypop said:
Apologies if this has been asked, will I ever get a chance to grow a money tree again? I currently have 10k that was gifted from a balloon however I haven't seen any more glow holes

Try to explore every last bit of your Island, even better during the night, so you can better spot the glowing effect.

bliggup said:
I haven't watered my planted fruit since I put them in the ground

I am dumb

Cloud-Hidden said:
You don't have to water trees.

...right?

Yeah, trees don't need water. 😅

randomlee26 said:
You guys!!!

I accidentally built over all the rocks except one on Day 1 and haven't been able to harvest any iron nuggets :(

But the game is lovely

You might want to consider resetting your game to start anew. :/
Or hope the Nook Miles to travel to other islands saves you.

gameongreggy said:
So what happens if after I fully complete the new villagers exteriors and interiors, I can go back and pickup the exterior stuff, does that affect anything?

They weren't programmed to react to you stealing their stuff, so is safe. :P

Lichtsang said:
Are trees without fruit useful for anything or can I remove all of them?

Why would you want to remove your trees? lol
I guess you need some to farm sticks.

I did end up getting a sturgeon, no bait, on a mystery island trip. That's also how I got a coelacanth.

I wonder if the fishing on mystery islands offers more chances at rare fish. Probably.

i need to find a mystery island with cliff. i really need that stringfish, farming clams is so annoying!

i hope there's an advanced bench later that let you make multiple items at once...

Cherry blossoms and furniture when you shake them

I was actually coming in here to post this.

On mystery islands the chances of rarer fish spawning are higher because there's less there. So if you go to the river and despawn anything that's not in the mouth of the river, you can essentially guarantee that a sturgeon will spawn.

This guy explains it better:

So I read that on Day 2 I can get the thing that helps you across the water, there will be more rocks then. I won't have to reset thankfully!

I'm on a single level island...cleared everything off and put all flowers on the beach.....seen 3 tarantulas but only caught one

Is there a difference between the Simply and Mini DIY benches other then them looking different and the later requiring more materials? Can only certain things be made on the later?

I would've thought apple, peach, pear, orange and cherry trees would blossom like in real life, that way it wouldn't be unfair.
