New Horizons F.A.Q. – Ask Questions Here!

I’ve reset a million times but wondering if you can achieve 3 stars/unlock terraforming with only 8 villagers, or do you need to have the full 10?

You can get it with just 8. And a 4- or 5-star rating too according to the wiki, which I could've sworn wasn't the case last time I checked. Huh.

How many spaces do I need for the spoiled turnips to grow a row of ants?

Also, do message in a bottle appear in dreams?

The ant konga-line looks about 3-4 spaces long, including the turnip.
Can't answer that second question, but they're just like any other item, so you should see them in dreams. You might not be able to open them though, as you can't learn DIY while dreaming

Awesome! Thank you so much!
 
Is Celeste a guaranteed visit every week? Because I haven't seen her for a good two weeks, and there have been weeks where I've seen Wisp twice.
 
Does time traveling reset your weather seed?
No it doesn’t. Your seed is set when you create your island and and it never changes.

She only visits on nights with a meteor shower.
 
Is there special dialogue when giving frogs to frog villagers?
Or when giving pet hamsters to hamster villagers?
or giving an octopus to Zucker/Octavian/Mar?
Nothing happened when I gave a birdcage to Sprocket, but haven't tried with other avian villagers.

But it IS worth mentioning the "meteor shower" might be so minor that it isn't announced in the news, and isn't even noticeable. She also DOES NOT visit every meteor shower- you can have a noticeable shower, announced in the news, and still not have her.

Basically, she's random. There's never a guarantee she'll show up.

Probably not. Unfortunately, villagers of each personality have assigned dialogues so no matter what species the villager is, the dialogue will repeat itself depending on the personality.

this isn’t necessarily true - different species can definitely react in different ways to certain things.

for example, i’m pretty sure if you dress up as a cat or a mouse, those species are flattered whereas other species don’t really react beyond pointing out that you look like a cat/mouse.

Really? I didn't know that, so thank u for writting this! lol :D
I thought it was all based on personalities after all, because I've seen how often the dialogues repeat themselves.

my husband gave Marina an octopus and though it was not specialized to the specific octopus receiving an octopus situation, her comment on how (something like) nature is so incredible, was very funny in context. Kind of like how redd’s standard dialogue about detail in a work of art takes on a more humorous implication when he is talking about the statue of David.
 
Do message in a bottle show in dream address?

also, second question. What even goes here? I know my critterpedia isn’t finished, but nothing I have caught So far has landed there. It’s the only empty display.

Some rare river fish. Don't have their names off the top of my head. Likely the dorado, stringfish, and 2 others,, whose name starts with an A

ETA: Arowana and Arapaima

Has there been an announcement for the next update already? I don't recall seeing one in the Direct.

Did someone else suddenly get sent art gallery items by mail from villagers? I got David this week, quite surprising.

The next update is the Sanrio update on March 18. It got its own trailer a while ago.

As for art, I'm pretty sure you've been able to get it from villagers since the beginning, although it can be real or fake.
