Maybe. I think terraforming and bridge/incline making should be unlocked at the same time.
I'm still suck with this ugly ass log bridge leading to my nook's shop from day 4 or w/e.
Dont make me get stuck with an ugly bridge, give me options!
i think it's appropriately placed because it gives players something to work towards and it's not hard to unlock, but like @dioscuri said, it's SO inconvenient for when you want to place a bridge earlier on but the evenness is a little bit off.
I do feel the progression in this game is a bit stilted. If they gave you everything at once, it wouldn't match particularly well with traditional Animal Crossing pacing, but in the same token, it's frustrating as a player to discover game-changing features but not be able to take advantage of them easily because of the high cost of relocating expensive elements.
Not having access to the island designer early on is pretty much the whole reason I'm not bothering about planning my town yet. I do have ideas for what I want to do but it seems kinda pointless (and costly) moving buildings around when I know I'll just have to move them again once I get the island designer ability.
Not only that but I'm building a bridge at the moment and I'm not even sure I'll want to keep that bridge after I get access to the island designer. So it sorta feels like I'm throwing away bells.
Can we move bridges in the same way we can move buildings?
Nope! I never expected terraforming in the game at all so I’m not even sure what to really do with it. I love what I see everyone doing to their islands and I’m kinda jealous... all I can think to do are land bridges because I don’t want to disrupt the layout we currently have. That said, it’ll be nice to put a pond outside of the museum! Idk I see so many peoples islands that look AMAZING with the terraforming but liking my layout and the fact that I share an island are both interfering with me REALLY exploring the tool.
It's not just too late, but needing to have a 3 star rating is ridiculous. I had to put every single item I own outside, put up tons of fencing and flowers, AND craft another 40+ items on top of it and place them all outside too just to unlock it. I wasn't happy about having to waste so many miles and resources just to unlock it. Not to mention, all of those 40+ items I crafted I just immediately sold as soon as I got a 3 star rating anyway.
Honestly I wish you could get it a whole lot sooner, but it makes sense why you get it when you do.. I just wish you could relocate bridges and ramps instead of demolishing them and then having to repay for them in another spot
I like that it's later, but they should have been more reasonable when it comes to bridges and inclines beforehand. If I want to place it on an "impossible" spot, the game should have generated ground so that it can fit in the spot of my choosing.
I think having it unlock after having a minimum of 7 villagers is a bit late yeah... I dont time travel at all so having to move BOTH my shops, the museum, and 8 homes (plus mine) is going to take a very long time.
