I got this for Christmas and I’m in love. Is there a thread/community etc I could join?

I’m usually an AIBU inhabitant so this is a bit new...

Do you have to have an online subscription to get visitors or visit other islands?

When planting flowers plant them in a grid. Flower. Blank. Flower. Blank etc. Like a checker board.

When they get rained or snowed on new ones spawn in the gaps. Dig them and move them or dig them and sell them.

Don't let yourself end up with a wilderness of flowers. When you shake trees or shoot balloons the bounty will have nowhere to land and will disappear.

I've spent the last 2 days thinning my floral jungle and only managed to clear 1/3 of my island

I have had a few friend requests which I’ve accepted which must be from here so thank you!

Whilst I’m online I’ll go and open my gates so you can visit if you want to.

Once you’ve visited we can post each other stuff which is handy too.

I’m desperate for more fruit - I have

Pears
Peaches
Cherries
Coconuts

What else is there? I assume oranges and apples? Also realised today that if you eat a fruit or bamboo shoot and get the mega strength you can dig up an entire tree!! Very helpful!

[quote buffythevampireslayer91]@EntropyBanana thank you for letting me visit!! Question can I plant the flowers I picked? I tried and I can only seem to bury them?? [/quote]
Ah, if you pick them you can wear them in your hair or give them as gifts or place them in your house (they would automatically put themselves in a vase). You need to dig them up to be able to plant them. I'm glad you didn't do that as that would have left me with gaps!

When you get a Nook Miles ticket and go visiting a random island, you can dig up flowers that you find there and bring them back.

DD got this today. She seems to be getting the hang of things, she’s got her tent set up and is catching fish, collecting fruit and other bits and making medicine. What’s next?
She has written a note and put it on the notice board but doesn’t know how people read it 🤣

My friend code is

SW-7820-1238-4611

bearlyactive · 01/01/2021 16:50

My friend code is SW-7713-7541-4611. Apparently I've spent over 360 hours on ACNH since I got it in April... don't judge Blush

For the PP who asked how to add people, go to the little circle in the top left corner of your home screen that says "X's page". From there, scroll down to the option on the left that says "add friend", then on the right to the option that says "search with friend code".

He says "Oh drumsticks!" and tells me there are no islands available with that code at the moment :(

Newhorizons0412 · 01/01/2021 16:25

Thank you! I’m wanting to redo some areas soon, trying to think of new ideas. Good luck with your island, it’s so fun at the beginning Smile

EntropyBanana · 01/01/2021 16:05

[quote buffythevampireslayer91]@EntropyBanana I don't think I need anything maybe just a new fruit or something? I have coconuts, cherries and oranges 🍊 [/quote]
