Animal Crossing: New Horizons |OT2| The Most Metal Of All Threads

[Delphine]

Best example of my disappointment so far happened yesterday (besides the Easter rubbish this is!): spotted a female owl visiting in the town square, spoke to them, they talk about the stars. Me: amazing I bet there will be an observatory you can build and collect star constellations - northern and southern hemisphere. Reality: here's a recipe for a wand... :/

You need to have respect for Celeste!!!

Ok, since you apparently don't know what Celeste shtick is, lemme explain it to you.
Every day, Celeste gives you a new recipe (and only one recipe per day, no matter how many island and Celeste you visit in one day, she knows when you already got one). Those recipes usually need star fragments to be built, you get star fragments by wishing on shooting stars whenever you see some in your sky at night. There are a ton of different recipes than you can craft. For example, I currently have 9 Celeste recipes, 1 for the wand (useful to store outfits), 2 for starry wallpapers (one glow in the dark, the other has a slight 3D effect), 1 for astrology-themed object (Aries one currently), and 5 for NASA-related stuff (yeah, I can craft a Lunar Rover or a Lunar Lander. Not that I want to, but I can, because Celeste thinks I'm into this kind of shit while I just want a starry garland or a Moon Chair lmao thanks Celeste I guess). Anyway, you could have fun gathering all those NASA related recipes and craft your own Space museum of some sort. But Celeste's recipes are absolutely the best, even though they're random. Also the first time you meet with a Celeste, she will ALWAYS give you the wand recipe. The fun starts AFTER she gave you that one.

Here's a list with all of her recipes thus far:

Celeste can be found wandering around your island randomly in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH). She can give you Zodiac DIY Recipes, Shooting Star DIY Recipes as well as Star Fragments and Zodiac Fragments!

Thanks ! I'm all good then :D
The toy and the basket are actually the two things I want from that holiday ! (The lamp and balloons are also cool to decorate the town during the holiday)

Run up and down the coast. East coast during the day and west coast at night.

this island evaluation bullshit is infuriating

I got 9 villagers, tons of furniture, no weeds, have been grinding out flowers from islands because i hate watering, and im still at 2

i just want paths man

How do you get the Wobbling Zipper Toy recipes ?
It's the only one I'm missing and egg balloons only give me eggs now.
Should I continue shooting those balloons to get it ?

Click to shrink...

Are you sure you have all the recipes though? Even the Egg Arch one? If yes, how did you get the Egg Arch recipe?
Wobbling Zipper Toy recipe will be given by Zipper when he'll come back, if you have crafted all the other 18 recipes Egg Arch one included.

I run around on my island from one side to the other and check the sky every-time I hear that "woooosh" sound. It's time-consuming, to say the least.

Tried slapping some fences down? She also specified DIY furniture so that might be worth more than store bought stuff. I dunno, the star system is just kind of a vague pain in the butt.

 

[n00bs7ay3r]

Oh. Well, if that's actually normal, I wouldn't feel so bad about it. It'd be quite a bummer cause then my dream bamboo grove zen garden area is gonna take a long time to grow... but hey, I'm not in a rush. Still gotta figure out all the things I wanna do for my island's layout anyway. 🤔

No. It is a bug.

 

[Pizza Dog]

I had no idea you could catch those cherry blossoms in nets - will have to try and get some now.

 

[MaitreWakou]

No I meant minus the arch and wand since I knew that we couldn't get those right now ^^
Forgot that the toy recipe was the other one that we get as a reward !

It felt like I had more success with the east coast at night. But I did that yesterday and no luck (I mostly got 1000 Bell and Iron Nugget balloons). I did get a cherry blossom clock this morning from a blue balloon, though.

 

[SUBZERO-08]

You may have gotten them all. I think currently there's 17 recipes, not including the clothes you get from obtaining each type of egg.
Edit: Here's an article to cross-reference. https://www.polygon.com/animal-cros...th-water-sky-stone-leaf-recipes-rabbit-easter

Thanks, I'll have to compare and check.

My biggest wish for this game is support on the level of Splatoon 2. That game was awesome on day one, but the amount of support that it got was incredible and made it so much better in the end.

I think the game needs more core gameplay features. Like the cafe, or Club Tortimer. There's something missing in the daily gameplay loop.

So... been playing for 2 weeks now, and I'm still struggling to see what exactly meant the game was delayed from 2019 to 2020? Is this just Nintendo admitting they've got nothing else lined up?

I'm spending loads of time and I am really enjoying the game... but at the same time, it's just so safe and more of the same. I wasnt expecting a Stardew Valley or Runescape level of experience, but a bit more depth would have been nice.

Do we think there will be more to come in updates/DLC?

Best example of my disappointment so far happened yesterday (besides the Easter rubbish this is!): spotted a female owl visiting in the town square, spoke to them, they talk about the stars. Me: amazing I bet there will be an observatory you can build and collect star constellations - northern and southern hemisphere. Reality: here's a recipe for a wand... :/

Stress again, it's great and having fun, but how did this take so long to make exactly?!

Click to shrink...

Yeah, a lot of older core characters just feel shafted. Celeste had an observatory in Wild World, just as you described! Then in New Leaf she was demoted to gift shop cashier... Now she's a homeless star gazer falling into the mystical hooey of Katrina fame..

Dataminers did find some references to the cafe in the update code that went out so who knows, there might be more like that on the way.

I feel like there's a lot of room for DLCs and updates with more NPCs from other games coming in to the island. She still could get an observatory in the future, I'd love for that to happen. But at least, Celeste still gets to be in the game in some way, while I'm out here wondering when my fave Reese will ever come back, or if she ever will, sobs. At least I can still have a poster of her in my room as consolation, I guess.

The wand is a way more substantial feature than the constellations ever were (personally I always thought they were tacky garbage) and Celeste has a ton more stuff associated with her. As always, but here more than ever, Animal Crossing is a slow burn and its true depth and scale do not reveal themselves for months

 

[Brian McDoogle]

More fences, maybe? Pretty sure fences matter a lot in order to raise your island's rating.

Click to shrink...

when I spoke with Isabelle she gave me the usual bullshit from a visitor, and then added that more fences wouldn't hurt. I put a bunch of random fences around a couple of animal's houses and that got me from 2-3*

Click to shrink...

Thanks for the suggestions. I can't imagine I don't need any more flowers, and the feedback did say scenery and fencing, but I have about twenty pieces of furniture already placed outside, and I laid out all of the 50 fence pieces Nook gave me. Do I need to have/craft more fencing? It also talked about an unnoticed snowman, but I think that was maybe just flavor-text.

Edit: I also only get the rating once a day, right? Any changes I do today won't count until tomorrow?

 

[MaitreWakou]

Café and co is 100% being added later on.
Not only the villagers hint at the Café, but characters' models being added to Photopia later is also a big hint.
They ain't goint to add those models post launch just for some photo shot.

Brewster, Café and Gyroids in an update, Redd, Black Market and art in another, etc

Do you have to invite the first visitor to your campsite to progress? Pietro has been stinking up the tent for days and won't leave.

Yes, would love for Re-Tail to return. Cyrus could teach us more advanced DIY recipes and Reese could allow us to sell our customized items secondhand (some tutorial message said some custom pattern items couldn't be shared?)

I wouldn't mind if we can keep the gyroids far, far away from this island life. Especially considering we have no museum rooms to spare in this game.

And hello Era Crossing. Happy to see some of the old faces in here. Can't believe I didn't think about checking this place out earlier.

I have a 3-star rating with 7 villagers. I have a lot of fencing and flowers, though. You really don't have to water the flowers unless you're trying to breed new ones. just throw some seeds down and let them do their thing. But I just made a few flower beds here and there with different species, crafted a few types of fencing and made something of an entrance with them, etc.

Hard to say what really improves the star rating.

 

[thecouncil]

im going to post this again because some time has passed this morning and ill probably ask again later tonight:

I have a blue Godzilla statue and want a black one. CAN ANYONE TRADE?

(Also, I am looking for the bunny nose, hood, and dress... if anyone can help out on that too.)

 

[Shudouken]

How are you farming them, just standing there waiting fir balloons?

Click to shrink...

See in which direction they traverse, they spawn on the coast opposite of that every 5 minute interval.
I think at minute 4 and 9. I do it while farming peacock butterflies.

 

[Datajoy]

Just rolled credits. After 110 hours I feel like I am finally done with the "tutorial" and in to the meat of the game haha.

 

[THErest]

Okay, more flowers...

Do they have to be adjacent to breed? Or within a couple spaces of each other?

Damn, my campsite is in the perfect spot for a Lighthouse lol dumb me

But I'm not changing now.

Hey, just in case anyone still needs to sell, my turnips are now selling for 461 Bells.

I'm working right now, so my gates are open if anyone needs to sell, please note that I'm not organizing groups for now, so you probably will get a lot of messages for incoming or leaving visitors. I'm not actively searching for anything right now, except for Cherry Blossom recipes, however I'll gladly take any tips, please leave them by the store if you can, I'm standing there and will take it if I see you leave anything.

I'm currently in process of cleaning everything so I can organize my island, so I don't even have anything fenced. Fell free to take any fruits if you want!

This is all I want. Oh, and don't just limit it to bait.

Oh, and some kind of quick-sort option for inventory.

Oh, and the ability to donate fossils after Blathers has evaluated them instead of him giving them back and me having to go through the motions.

[Delphine]

Is she guaranteed every night between 7-4am?

Click to shrink...

She absolutely isn't at all. She spawns randomly and can not show up for several days, even a week. That's partly where playing with a friendly and dedicated community gets super handy. Whenever one of us spots a Celeste on an island, we invite people over in order to all get a new recipe from her. And also, while shooting stars often happen while Celeste is here, it's not an automatic thing either. You can have a Celeste with no shooting stars to wish on, and you can have shooting stars without a Celeste on your island.
