I should have realized that time travel would kill my turnips. Way too easy to game the stalk market otherwise.

Completed rock garden.

Awesome. It’s my next project on both toons

In Animal Crossing, is that decoration or a literal garden to grow rocks?

In Animal Crossing, is that decoration or a literal garden to grow rocks?

It requires about 3 hours worth of work and a week of smashing a rock a day to have it regrow in the right place. It's not something you can just buy. I'm doing both of mine right now.

On your island, there are a total of six rocks. You can bash your rocks with a shovel each day to earn resources, up to 8 items if you are very efficient. If you eat a fruit first, the rock breaks when you hit it with your shovel and the next day it will respawn at a new location on your island. Someone on reddit figured out that by placing things around your island, you can control where the rocks respawn. Sam posted a video some posts back that showed someone doing this with mannequins. I tried this but was unable to create the correct grid spacing to force the rocks to where I wanted them so I finally gave up on the rocks and just bricked over my whole island except for where I wanted my rocks to land. That worked, with the result I showed in post 23. Afterwards I went back and cleaned up the bricks.

What method are you using to block the rocks Sam?

How is your museum filling up?

I have almost finished the fossils, missing only the Megacerops head.

45 out of 80 on the bugs. 56 out of 80 on the fish.

I have seen 3 bugs that I haven’t managed to catch yet, the scorpion, the tarantula and a beetle that hangs out on trees (not the drone or Goliath beetles).

I know I said no more time travel but I am tempted to go back to March and see if there were any bugs or fish that I missed, since we didn’t start playing until April.

Only 6 of 43 items in the art museum, assuming there is one item per placard. I need Redd to come more often. He hasn’t visited in the last two weeks, although I might have messed up his schedule with my earlier time traveling.

Thanks. Games that demand regular, scheduled, routine gaming aren't a great fit for me. But I'm kinda fascinated by the gameplay and stuff people who play post about it.

Project for today:

 

[Sam Posten]

I built my rock garden. Took a LOT more than 3 hours.

Rock 1 success!



Rainbow in the dark!

I built my rock garden. Took a LOT more than 3 hours.

Congratulations on getting your first rock In place. I see you used the mannequins. I wasted a lot of time with the mannequins. It was about 3 hours to lay down my first set, but then I spent the next week plugging holes and still didn’t get a rock to land where I wanted.

Much more efficient paving. After getting to the terraforming menu, it is only a single button click per square, as opposed to navigating through the menu for every mannequin.

It did take me longer to clean up because I ended up keeping many paths and selectively retaining some of the squares in the patterns I wanted took longer. Plus all of the rounded corners (whether desired or not).

 

[Sam Posten]

That sounds painful. I did Island #2 today. Fingers crossed on both.

 

[Sam Posten]

LMAO while hosting people for Celeste someone just gave me a Million Bell crown as an anonymous gift wrapped as a present. I never even saw who it was when they dropped it.

 

[Sam Posten]

Ugh both islands had rogue rock spawns today.

Ugh both islands had rogue rock spawns today.

Welcome to my world.

 

[Sam Posten]

0 for 2 again today. Sneaky sneak

 

[Mike2001]

Are you going to try the paving method or wait for a few more days of frustration and then try the paving method?

 

[Sam Posten]

Just replacing stones with mannekins. I’m all in on that route there is no going back
