Glen-i Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Yeah, ever since closing my eyes, I've been doing even worse. I'm just gonna do my best to put it out of my mind and aim to get it randomly.

Hero-of-Time Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Man, I love it when it hits 7pm in this game. It's such a lucrative time. You have tarantulas, emperor butterflies and man-faced stink bugs all kicking about. You can make bells pretty fast if you have a decent route planned put. I need another 250k to pay off my 750k loan. Once again, I'm hoping to try and get it done before the shop shuts. Saying that, I don't think I can even start my next house upgrade anyway. I ordered a new door and postbox and I don't think you can have a house upgrade going on at the same time. Shame if that is indeed the case because it looks like Nook is remodeling tomorrow and I won't have access to him to get another upgrade.

I had a text conversation with a mate of mine the other day that started with us saying how much of a crook Tom Nook is, thinking about putting our villagers working the streets on a night to pay him back and then ended with us killing Nook and wearing his head as a hat, with his kids being used as slippers. Yeah, it escalated pretty quickly.

Hero-of-Time Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Don't pretend you don't want in on this scheme, @drahkon.

Aneres11 Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Wasn't sure if I was playing Animal Crossing or browsing Grindr for a minute there. 2 4 1

Hero-of-Time Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Phew! Just managed to pay off the 750k loan and with 5 minutes to spare! As expected, I can't start my next upgrade. Tomorrow morning, if Nook isn't available, after doing all the busy work on the island I may give the game a rest for a day. I've put in a ridiculous amount of time into the game since release and a small break may be in order, especially if I can't upgrade or do anything meaningful to the island in Nook's absence.
BowserBasher Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Had a quite productive hour and a bit on an island tonight. Was hoping for a Coelacanth but was pleased with what I caught. 3 Tarantula was a nice get and that's some bells worth of fish there too. 5
ThiophenSJ Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Got this game last Friday here in Japan. Was positively surprised that I could play it in German anyway. I haven't really played very much yet, but I made my every day progresses so far: House, Shop, House upgrade, bridge, 3 new houses for new inhabitants. What I really wonder though: How/ when will I will finally get plans to make shovels and axes myself? I always have to get a ticket for 2000 miles to fly to the island and buy axes and shovels from the dodo there, also for 100 miles each. That can't be the right way, right?!

You should be able to buy tools from the cabinet in your shop. The DIY recipes are also there so you can craft them yourself.

Well, I'll have a look again tonight, but I'm very very sure that my shop only sells the flimsy net and flismy fishing rod. Also the slingshot. I have recipes to make the upgraded, more durable versions for all tools, but I don't have the base recipes for flimsy axe and flimsy shovel. Very weird.

If you have the museum, you should be able to buy shovels.
Happenstance Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 It’d be nice if you place a crafting table in your home then it could access your storage. I finally had to move all my crafting materials into storage as I was sick of having no pocket space so it would have been nice to not have to get the bits I need out every time. 2

I was thinking the same thing last night. The game in general could use a few changes to make things like crafting/selling/etc. a little more streamlined. Not holding my breath for anything like that, though.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Bah! Nook's is closed for the day. No more upgrades for me today. It's lashing down on my island. If anyone wants the gates opened to do some fishing then let me know.

My tent place will be closed tomorrow for a permanent relocation and wonder if I should stock up on a couple of Nook miles tickets today.

I can't see anywhere else that I can access the terminal. Definitely stock up on tickets as it's something I failed to do. 1
