Do you guys play on the tablet or tv more?

PixieLandGirl · 22 Apr 2020 at 23:09

I tend to play on the TV more

First day and im exhausted from all the fish catching, weed picking, axeing trees and catching bugs. Its very grindy :eek:

ricky1981 · 23 Apr 2020 at 06:09

The grind doesn't ever really go away, it's the sort of game where you kind of have to embrace that otherwise it will start to feel like work!

I'm finding it nice to just log in once a day and play for an hour or so. It was grindy early on but it's just chill now. I play 100% hand held.

Yeah I'm only paying in handheld, found the delay when docked was messing up my timing for catching fish.

Once you've got at the weeds they take a long time to grow back so that's one less grind. Agree with the others, I pop on for a bit, do my daily tasks and maybe a bit of organising/fishing/whatever then I'm done for the day. Sometimes I spend an hour fishing in the evening while watching TV.

I have some days where I play more than others. The last few days I've popped online here and there through out the day. I'm also off work due to sickness at the moment so it's at least keeping me distracted.

Held of on some island design, waiting for the 1.2 patch that landed today. Likely will spend a few hours on that later this week

Bought some art this morning, turned out to be genuine so that's good. No idea how you're supposed to tell though other than risking it?

I think its just a gamble to be completely honest. Always say no to Redd first and then he'll drop the price then take a gamble

Plainsong · 24 Apr 2020 at 17:47

Redd went from 498,000 to 4,198 when I said no! Nice little addition to the game.

I don't need to tell you how pleased I was when Tom gave me the hedge recipe! And I'm loving the shrubs wtf has happened to me?

Loving these free updates.

Anyone got DIY of the tools available? My flimsy ones are breaking too often

Depends how early on you are. Flimsy tools are rubbish. Upgrade them. They still break but it's worth it.

happy_2008 · 24 Apr 2020 at 22:19

I got the upgraded but when I chop trees I end up chopping whole tree down

Digital X · 24 Apr 2020 at 22:48

What exactly do I do in this game? The 4 day wait for Snowrunner is dragging on and I need something new.

Only if you keep chopping after every resource has been taken

Trees, 3 hits.

I use a stone axe to gather resources and only bring out my upgraded axe to chop

I need to find Iron nuggets to donate (30) but they dont seem to spawn much from hitting rocks.

Buy NookMiles tickets and go to other islands, they will spawn rocks you can harvest
