The bar itself, no I don't think so. Put a cask in a kitchen and they'll make drinks.
There is a trophy on PS4 for staying in the sea for 2 minutes. For a while I was worried it meant in the deep blue part where the merman is. I haven't gone out there since the demo so I was trying to plan how to do that. Luckily it works just fine hanging out in the more shallow water that is safe from the merman.
I just got to island 3 where I learned to make spike traps. So you have some time to go before you have the recipe for it.
I'm pretty sure the silver bar needs to be completed by you on your own. From my understanding, only the last structure for a story island is made by the full group.
Reallllly not a fan of the season pass and DLC content descriptions, but having played what is available so far it makes a lot more sense now.
- Aquarium Pack is the new island with the short questline, fishing, etc. The best one. But completing the quest line requires access to Chapter 3?
- There is the farm island that is random but basically you can go there to farm a few new food and plants.
- The rest is materials to build.
By the way, for anyone still looking for the Builders 1 outfit, you need to unlock the sewing machine at IoA using gratitude points in order to make it. I only found out about it after beating the game because for some reason the game never tells you about it despite the hat being unlocked by default (though I think you need a B1 save file for both).
I started island 3 yesterday. I set up so many traps for enemies that extended to where they were spawning. Got quite a few levels barely doing anything. Also switched to a weak weapon just to push them into the spikes lol. Although it now looks like I'll need to take up the traps because enemy spawns have changed and a vast majority of the traps are in my base where enemies most likely won't end up.
I really enjoy setting up traps

Guys when you are back on the hub island, is there any way to put down blueprints that you have learned in the past so that your citizens can help build stuff?
So back at the Isle of Awakening after Furrowfield, did you guys just set up villager homes like...anywhere? I've been waiting to find a good clearing since that's just what I'm used to, but I finished the river, meadow, chicken accomplishments and they're giving me optional challenges to start making houses. Does the whole island count as a town area? Should I just make a beeline for the next island before bothering making houses and such?
It's just a mess with the stairs and it's too big. I made the room smaller and put the throne on the lower part of it instead.
Make the room smaller. I had the same issue. The "obvious" size they give you for it is too big to be recognized as a room
It's pretty dumb.
The room is too large it you just put walls on the perimeter. I had to build rooms on both sides of the carpet to finally get it within the 150 block size limit.
I'm wondering about this too. The closest thing might be using the magic pencil as far as I know.
Yeah just build where you like when you like. It's your playground area. You can build or move on, whatever you like.
Anyone know how to fudge the room size limit? I'm trying to make a big bar but the biggest allowable size is not large enough.
If I build on to the room like put stairs going up a wall to a higher large area, and put things there like supper sets or dart boards, will the NPCs use them even though they would not be in a valid room?
I want bigger rooms there has to be a workaround!!!

You could use one tile high fencing or blocks and a doormat to make two seperate rooms that look like they're connected.
It's not perfect, but it'd look like a little area inside of a big room. Or do that with some creative use of stairs to make a split level looking room.
That requires you to build the blueprint first, then copy it with magic pencil, before you start putting down tons of blueprints.
To me, it made me think about building large scale structures in a modular fashion.
I have not used doormats! So I build a fence along 1 wall, put 1 doormat along that in my current room against the fence, and then the higher area would be a valid room??
So what if I put stairs going up a wall and a doormat in front of the stairs would that work?
Thanks for the advice sorry for all the questions this has really confounded me for 2 days :)
Do you know if I make a connected higher area right next to my bar but the new space is not a room, will NPCs use things I put there? Or do you have to make an actual room for anything in it to work?
Also WTF are the Silver and Gold Bars then? They seem wayyy bigger than allowed but they exist and NPCs use them? Lol
I only learned about door mats recently, but my understanding is that they're a special type of door that allows rooms to exist with only 1 tile high walls, instead of two. So picture what would be a valid room using regular walls and doors and anything that is okay with those rooms is okay with door mats.
The Silver Bar isn't actually even a room. It's not enclosed, it's just a bunch of sets of items, which NPCs will use no matter where they are.
The Gold Bar is a few smaller rooms next to each other.

Wow thanks for all the info you have helped greatly. Silver bar not being a room blows my mind and proves I can create my own huge spaces as long as I have item sets in them ppl will use them which is exactly what I wanted. I've also not considered making 1 big thing consisting of lots of smaller rooms. Very interesting...I'm gonna have fun tonight!!
Item sets are a HUGE improvement over Builders 1, where you'd have to build stupid whole rooms for well water or whatever because nobody would use anything if it wasn't specifically placed in its very specific room. And everything had to be 2 block walls with a door, no exceptions.
It shows you the blueprint, but I can't find any button to lay them down on the floor.
Check at the bottom when looking at the blueprint, there should be a list of commands. One lists how to get the blueprint as an item which you can then use to place it. On the PS4 it's the big touch thing you use to go to the map as well.

Are these on the Switch? I don't recall any of these being in the game.
Thanks for this. Been trying to make my people make drinks for my bar, yet they always cook my fruit. As soon as I put the cask down and put the fruit in the chest, instant drinks.
No problem. I actually found it by accident cause I just wanted a cask in the kitchen so I could use it myself and they made it instead. Glad I found it cause I like them making drinks on IoA as well.
I'm not sure, I don't have my Switch with me to check. I also have the game on PS4, not Switch.
What is funnier is two monster birds I made friends with are the ones cooking in my kitchen. I was just staring in wonderment thinking, 'why are the birds cooking?''.
Monsters cook?! That's pretty cool. I thought only humans would do that. Especially the little kid from furrowfield.
The monster behavior I was surprised at was that the slime I brought will hop on a bonfire to leave me oil
Just horn home and checked
Knickknack pack is on the eshop, the other two little things aren't
Anyone got tips on getting the "sell 100 thing" tablet target? I've had the shop set up in scarlet sands as soon as I could and I still haven't sold anything. I finished chapter 3 already
I'm still working on that one too but what I did is make a good-sized shop and a couple hundred of each item for sale. Most of what I make is from infinite-item components, which helps immensely. It's not super-fast but the number of sold items is going up regularly. Just make sure to put the price tag down first, then use the price tag like a single-item-holding chest to store what's for sale.
There is something darkly amusing about watching the kid from Furrowfield mix drinks and saying how wonderful it is.
This chapter 3 boss fight is a joke right?
you have to fight 120+ enemies per round? About 30/40 of which seem to take me about 2 minutes to kill each with full top level equipment? Whhhhyyyyy? I must be missing something here, especially with how easily they destroy your defenses and walls
Is shorter, but still long. Is also really fun with a cool surprise in the form of a creation.
Do you alaready have the banner? Use it 4 times on your army to power it up, they will do more damage. You do very little damage alone im comparison.
Lmao. Does she actually say that? I didn't stay in the kitchen to watch her
