Man, the conditions to get the recipes for the golden tools are nuts especially since they still break

When do you get the ability to terraform? I need to even out the sides of the river to place a bridge where I want.

People with all of the awesome decorations, how? Just luck? Is it mostly from balloons? Is there a best method for farming them?

I have a few cool things, but so jealous of lots of the stuff I see in this thread.

Got to grind. Check all store fronts, visit other islands and check stores, balloons, give villagers gifts, shake trees, etc

Hey all,

I don't have the game but my youngest does and is bummed that she can't just visit random islands. If anyone would like to help and post/PM their island codes I would be eternally grateful. Thanks!

I'm open! 4VNCS 90 bells a nip
I can check. No gifts required.
this was not because you used another time zone per se; it's because you went before it was Sunday on your island. As soon as the turnover to Sunday happens, previous turnips rot.

10 minutes left here...are we friends already?
Thank you for all the offers! Managed to go someone else's town. :)

So I'm assuming when Sahara comes over I should just plan on buying a lot of large rugs so I can get tickets for more mysterious wallpapers?

Going off a guide I read, after you get residential services tent upgraded to a building Nook will give you an endgoal to work towards of
getting KK Slider to play at the island. You need like 6-7 villagers and a 3 star rating, I think, to achieve this and THEN you can get terraforming.

Not to mention they're inferior to the regular tools, since at least you can fully repair those by customising them. Not an option for the golden tools.

Wait, they're from a large set of designs??? I thought they were random/procedurally generated
There's 19 archetypes defined in the game's files. It seems only specific elements are randomised, the layout for each one is always the same.

So is it pretty much impossible to get every fruit from mystery islands? The first couple of days I got cherries regularly (my native is apples) but since then nothing but apples. And almost always my native flower as well.

Island tours feel like gambling

You want to quit but you're like, "no, maybe THIS time there will be a villager I actually want" and then the next thing you know your out of tickets

Well sometimes it works out

It's pretty unlikely to do so in a timely fashion. After 30+ random islands we've only gotten apples (3 times, for hecks sake, native fruit is peaches) and hyacinths (once or twice, native flower is lilies). You're better off getting them from other players, in fact I can give you every other fruit if you want next time I'm playing.

So right now there is absolutely no way to transfer your full island + save to another Switch right? I am well aware cloud saves don't work on this, and the regular save transfer doesn't work either, but I did hear about a one time transfer thing for people who might buy a new Switch or lose theirs. I may be buying a new Switch for my partner and their island is on another Switch right now.

Five days in with the Museum built, the store in place, 3 villagers arrived and two joining in tomorrow I have to say, this is a lot of fun to check in every day for an hour or two.

Can't wait to see how it progresses and I have to say it's nice that you can only grind a certain amount a day (without messing with the system settings).

And the voices are just amazing - the way you often can hear the real words in there... So well done.

Also- wait, did I miss the Sunday turnip event?

Thats a very generous offer that I'll take you up on if we can find a common time.

Anyone willing to sell me a few Nook tickets? Residence services is closed for the day and I'd like to jet set! I have cherries, oranges, pears, bamboo, coconuts, and a spare sturgeon if so! (I'd pay extra as well)

I'm pretty sure that all island dodo codes are temporary and set differently each time the resident wants to open the island. I would look out for some codes here for specific events or trades. In real life friends are also a great social distancing hangout option if she can find some!

Ok how the heck do I get flowers that aren't red, yellow, or white? Every island tour I go to has them also! I'm dying here lol. Is it really rare for deserted islands to have different flowers than your native flowers?

They've said this is coming in the future. It's not possible now.

God, in the "most played games" on my Switch folder, it's already ahead of MK8, which is at 65 hours.
In only 8 days.
This will be my most played game in no time lol

So I've just found out turnips are apparently only buyable for 6 hours and if you happen to be doing other things in those 6 hours (like sleeping for some of them, since it starts at 6am on a Sunday) it's tough luck until next week.

That's stupid, they're only available on one day of the week as it is, they should at least be available for the 24 hours.

Poop. Thanks for the info!

Well, her island code is D5GFG if anyone wants to stop in.

Place certain colors next to each other (a flower can create a new flower with anything in the 8 squares around it but needs at least one open adjacent space to actually put the new plant, so checkerboard planting patterns are common) to create hybrids.

You may also get lucky and find a "hybrid flower island." I got some blue, pink, and orange hyacinths that way.

I just wanted to buy turnips after working and it's impossible. Dang it I don't like how biased this game is against people who play at night.

I can bring you three tickets if you want, I don't need any payment, though I'd like to look in Nook's/Mabel's shops if possible. >.>
