You can. Hold down the A button when picking up an item and you’ll be able to drag it around, even swap it with other items in your pockets.
But yes, this is annoying.
Spend some miles on more tickets, or relax a bit and take a couple days to gather the iron. :)
(also use the technique mentioned upthread to get 8 items from each rock)
I spent most of my miles on bigger pockets and better tool recipes. I know that in theory I will be able to get what I want eventually, but it goes against my game instincts to chalk progression up to RNG and real world time passing.
Unless there’s some more reliable way to get Miles that they introduce later or is just not clear.
That I will try as I do not recall that being explained. The stack thing can be annoying for crafting and selling things, so I really hope they change that.
Me too. :) I think I took two days and a total of three mystery island trips to get all the iron.
If you don’t like this, then look out… there’s a bunch more of this long-term resource gathering/crafting stuff coming up!
The Miles+ should already be available if you’re out of the tent and into a house. Just do those tasks to earn miles, which will also fire off other miles-stones.
It wasn’t explained, I discovered by accident. :/
Stack splitting would be great, and I would also love it if your could craft using items in your storage.
As seen in another thread:
You can “grab 1” from a stack and then combine singles into new stacks.
Yeah I know about ‘grab 1’, I meant more like split stacks in half.
Penny Arcade has been meh for so long and I was wondering what does it have to do with Animal Crossing as I read it, but that was good. Brought a smile to my face.
Well I managed to scrounge enough iron to get the Store approved and placed the site. I got enough critters and fossils to approve the museum and paid off my house and went straight back into debt to expand it because reasons.
Now I just wait and see what else happens in the next few days.
I hadn’t played an Animal Crossing since the original on the GameCube, but this is obviously adorable. I can’t really articulate why I’m enjoying it so much, but it’s weirdly serene and relaxing.
I’ve got a meteor shower tonight, and Celeste is wandering my island. Feel free to stop by and collect wishes. To get them, just look out at the sky (up on right stick to get an almost horizontal perspective) while looking out towards the moon. Press A whenever a shooting star goes by. Apparently tomorrow you’ll get a little star crystal for each wish you make…
Celeste is also on my island offering a magic wand recipe that uses these star bits.
I’m cooking dinner but I’ll leave my gates open :-)
I’ll wander over then.
I’ve been doing this ALL wrong. So, how do you know it’s about to break? Or do you just tap it once?
Wait, there’s a V2? I suppose my Animal Crossing special edition must use the latest hardware, but I can’t tell the difference from the launch one that I recently gave to my son, only to buy one again because of this game.
After much speculation, turned out the battery life was improved on V2.
The rock will break if you’re currently powered up from fruit – open your inventory and you’ll see a little counter. If you want to “burn off” unwanted fruit charges, use your shovel to lift up (and replant) whole trees.
So long as you’re not all pepped up, dig the lockdown holes as above, position yourself, and whack away with A as fast as possible. You can get 8 minerals out if you are quick. Once a set amount of time passes from your first tap or two, the rock will “expire,” essentially, hence the need to anchor yourself for maximum button-mash-age!
Once a rock is “tapped out” for the day, you’ll need to wait till the reset time (5AM, IIRC) to try again.
That’s super helpful, @ArmandoPenblade. Thanks! I have been blowing them up each time while juiced, and wondering why they weren’t respawning fast enough.
I’m still paying for that after my first day. Should finally have enough iron after today. Assuming I don’t get a ton of clay and money instead.
Tom Nook went and closed his tent today. I totally forgot he’s upgrading.
Me this morning:
Just got my 15 for the museum and now ready to go for the shop, quite enjoying the slow paced nature, just sort of plod along in between working from home
That happens to me tomorrow, I’m glad I bought a DIY workshop in my house finally.
EDIT: Does this reset progress on the daily login to Nook Miles?
Can’t think of anything that messes with the daily terminal access bonus, which is what I think you’re talking about, so I think no?
Ringtoss is hot here at the moment. Only requires 2 wood and 2 softwood, so super cheap and easy to make.
I have 3 new neighbours moving in today! Pretty exciting.
