I'm on the hunt for the elusive cicada shell and I'm using this tutorial from July:

They said to go to the bamboo mystery island when it's raining. It's raining in my town but it's not raining on any of the mystery tours. Did they change this in an update? It's super frustrating...

The weather on mystery islands has never been guaranteed to be your weather. From what I can tell, the weather is completely random on mystery islands, so just keep trying until you get the right one. It should also work when it's sunny in your town, I believe.

Omg thank you!! I think I'll try my luck on my own island because I've used hundreds of NMTs and I'm realizing I've never seen an island with rain

It doesn't have to be raining for cicada shells to appear. I assume they recommend finding a rainy island because that stops beetles from spawning, but they are easy to scare off. Also, I don't think finding the bamboo island is necessary either. You can terraform any island like that, so you just want to find any island that's mostly flat without too much water. One of the tree islands is ideal as that prevents grasshoppers and locusts from spawning, but they are rare so it's probably not worth the effort searching for one.

Do shrubs count as trees, hedges, flowers or something else?

Oh yeah I know, it just helps because butterflies won't spawn so it increases your chances (beetles still do). Unfortunately cicada shells don't spawn on tree island (island #14)
Thank you for your help!

I've read they count as trees. So too many of them and Isabelle will remove a star from your rating.

sadly, no.

Can people visiting via dodo code break your rocks?

Can people visiting via dodo code break your rocks?

I believe people visiting via dodo can only use a shovel/axe if they're on your best friends list so if it's random visitors, no!

What is the max number of mushrooms in a stack?

They do not count as trees, that’s for sure. I’m not sure if they count as flowers or their own thing though.

I've had Wisp yesterday or the day before and today with a meteor shower I have him again instead of Celeste. The 7th I'll have another shower, what are the odds of having either of them visiting that day?

 

[Livia]

10 mushrooms in a stack

Is there any way to keep a turnip from spoiling? For decoration purposes.

sadly nope, it's always spoil when SUnday come. I guess just buy new one for replace?

Is the chocolate heart customizable? Or you have to buy specific colors to get all?

i’m gonna assume you’re talking about the nh one lmao but similar to the megaphones, there’ll be a different variant available for purchase each day so i don’t believe that they’re customizable. ^^

Ah yes, I meant to post on the new horizons ask a question. I don’t even know how I got here. Thank you!
