Material hoarders, unite!

[Pyoopi]

Yeah. I still have fall and winter materials in my hoarder collection. Now that I'm collecting summer shells, I just shove them in my storage nonchalantly.

I'm just super lazy to do anything and it's easier to throw them in the bottomless pit.

 

[Khaelis]

90% of my storage are materials. 50% of those materials is my weed collection.

No, not that weed.

 

[jokk]

haha yeah i have way more sticks than i'll ever be able to use

90% of my storage are materials. 50% of those materials is my weed collection.

No, not that weed.

But... Why?

 

[Rosch]

I hoard materials, but mostly iron and clay for crafting iron wall lamps. I buy it from TBT shops though. I'm too lazy to hit rocks nowadays.

 

[Jas]

i have SO many materials and i never really use enough of them to justify having them. one day i'll craft a ton of things and sell it all away... one day...

 

[Boccages]

I usually am hoarding one stack of each resources in my house, and I also have one in my carrying inventory. When I start having 2 stacks in my inventory, I will craft stuff to sell to get back to only one stack. When Nook's buying certain items at double the price, I will usually. burn through my stacks to make a lot of money (for example when Nook buys silos double the price).

 

[Auntie]

I had to set a firm limit of no more than one full row of any given material in storage.

 

[Khaelis]

But... Why?

I dunno, thought it'd be fun having an absurd amount of weeds.

 

[annex]

I had a Rediculous amount of materials. I finally sold half to Nooks, and still had a ton left. I probably had at least 80 stacks of tree branches, and continued to keep adding more to my collection. I just sell them now.

I love to hoard materials. You never know when you will need to craft something (like, if I need to make some quick Bells, I can craft some crescent moon chairs). When my storage filled up prior to the expansion, I threw out or sold a bunch of orderable items like clothes and furnishings so that I wouldn't have to dump my materials.

Is anyone else here a huge material hoarder? Not furniture, but materials like wood, stone, iron, gold, star fragments, etc. I hoard as many materials as I can (especially seasonal items) and then don't build anything with them unless I absolutely need the item (I just got the achievementfor crafting 200 DIY furniture yesterday to give youan idea of how bad my hoarding is). Gathering materials is a huge pain and I hate doing it! You can always make items but you can't disassemble items once they are built. I do this is other games too such as Pokémon as well. Where are my fellow AC material hoarders? Is anyone else super frugal about what they use their materials on?

I wouldn't say I'm a materials hoarder but I like to keep a decent amount of every kind of material stored, if possible. The thing I have problems with is the drop rate of regular wood compared to the other two types, as I have some stacks of hardwood and softwood ready for when I need them, but I always see myself needing to gather more regular wood as they appear a lot less frequently. It doesn't help that most items I like to craft/use need regular wood lol.

 

[Angelbearpuppy]

Yeah, I find that the regular wood is one I have to work to gather the most and tends to be the most need. Maybe it is just the fact I burn through it quicker.

 

[Manah]

I don't go out of my way to gather them but I do hoard all I get, particularly wood because I have five characters and plant money trees with all of them daily. Most of my materials are on a secondary character, but my main keeps four stacks of everything just in case.

And the floating seasonal materials. I always catch them and end up with two dozen more stacks than I can use to craft stuff even when I go for all color variants.

 

[Mairmalade]

Definitely with you on hoarding seasonal materials. A couple of days ago I spent an hour farming just snowflakes so I wouldn't have to worry about it later. I don't hoard wood, iron, stone, or clay as much as I used to because I built up a hefty supply early on when I wasn't focused on terraforming or decorating. Good thinking, past self.

 

[Feraligator]

I have so much softwood which I never use but I just feel like I need to save them "just in case" lol

 

[Dio]

I always hoard materials just in case for future in game tbt events lol. Other than that I like to have an excess of materials because whenever I’m designing something, I have a tendency to do it all at once and I don’t like to have to stop in the middle of a project. I also start things last minute so if I don’t have a lot of the required materials for an event that usually means I would have to rush it and not be as happy with the end result T_T

 

[LittleMissPanda]

I run a material shop to help those who don't hoard/have no time to grind for materials. My second island is dedicated solely to traveling to NMT islands just to drain them of all materials.

 

[OiGuessWho]

Yup. Though hoarding some materials is warranted - stones especially, you need soooo many to build even one thing. That said, I have more Softwood, Pumpkins, Tree Branches and Young Bamboo than I know what to do with.

 

[Livia]

I definitely have a problem with hoarding materials. I hardly ever craft anything but I have 7or 8 stacks of most of the materials and each fruit just taking up space in my storage. I also have almost 400 nmt in my storage as well.
