share your discoveries about the new update!

[Serabee]

Any Australians here know if the update is out now for us yet?

I’m at work at the moment I finish in a few hours I hope it’s ready by then

I'm pretty sure the updates drop for everyone at the same time. Like, it was announced for 9/30... but where I am it was released on 9/29 technically (it's 12:12 AM here, so it's on been the 30th for a few minutes, lol).

Welp. This update has definitely helped decide the theme of my new island. It's going to be a cute spooky paradise all year round. I really appreciate all the spooky stuff. It definitely works for a comfy/cozy/cottagecore island theme imo. I love the new body paint colors and eye colors. I'm so excited to see more and more little things during this update. I have TT'ed a bit already to get some new clothes + furniture. I didn't realize my Nook's had a spooky furniture item each day--so that's good to know.

If I ever get a second island I'd probably do a similar theme! Like, I love Halloween, and I see a lot of traditional "horror' type islands... but sometimes I prefer the cutesy Halloween stuff, y'know? Like, I'm not against gruesome, super scary horror (goodness knows it's what I prefer as a writer) but for aesthetics I tend to like this kind of Halloween stuff- pumpkins and bats and black cats and candy and bright oranges and purples and stuff. I think Nintendo really nailed it with the Halloween decor this year! I thought I'd be bummed since I doubted we'd get the Halloween furniture from previous games (and we didn't get it, like I expected) but I'm not disappointed at all! I LOVE what they did release~

the spooky furniture is so cute! sadly it doesn't fit the theme of my island at all so I won't be using it aside from maybe having a holiday/seasonal portion of my island. But I'll be using the pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns for my farm and forests

Maracas remind me of pocket camp, so they probably will just dance with them like in the mobile game. Pickaxe though, now THAT is interesting...

What if Mchart is mining chart and we’re getting some kind of cave/spelunking update?! I haven’t seen anyone guess that as a possible future update, but underground caves could expand things to do on the island without needing to adjust the size of the island

Time Traveling to October.

I know. I just didn't think the update would be there already.

Do different colors grow from the same pumpkin plant? Like, you pick a white and then an orange grows three days later?

I'm curious to know about that as well. Because if this is the case, then I'll be keeping most of the non-orange plants and replant new ones.

I'm lurking the animal crossing discord and theres a pumpkin carriage item, I repeat THERES A PUMPKIN CARRIAGE!!!

So, uhh... who wants to combine efforts and help each other out with them items?

It does cycle completely randomly. You can get any color from a pumpkin sprout (? is that how you would call that) when it regrows.

EDIT: actually now I'm doubting myself because I've gotten a green pumpkin in the same spot ever since I planted it. Sorry for answering so early without being sure, I'll go take a harder look and answer properly

My pumpkin crop so far.

(I've only harvested once, so I'll get a few more from this!)

Planted 36.

Crop 1:

Orange: 86
Yellow: 6
Green: 12
White: 3


White, yellow and green are the rarest and that sucks a bit because you need those colors to customize.

 

[Ginkgo]

Okay sorry, I have to correct myself. The colors do stay the same for every regrowth cycle. I guess it was a little hard to believe, because it makes farming a rarer color a little too easy. But you can indeed single out all the rare ones and replant oranges, which is what I'm going to do. I already have hundreds of orange pumpkins lol

My guess is that was the idea. You'll most likely need to make more items than you'll need to customize (yes, I know a lot are available in shops- but they're also random and expensive and only one per day) and I can see where they'd wanna make it a little more difficult to customize them. Also, let's be real- when most people think of pumpkins, they think of that dark orange.

Ooh- good to know! Not just for getting rarer colors, but also for color coding and arranging pumpkin patches ☺

No.
If you dig up a plant after it produces, it names the official color of the pumpkin it will grow.

Ooh, even more convenient, 'cause I know I'll get 'em mixed up once I've dug 'em up

Your welcome to come get the spooky arch diy from my Island.

Ooh! I’ll take you up on that. I’m TTing to collect Spooky items right now. I’ll try to find out if my neighbors are crafting any Spooky DIYs too. uwu

 

[TaylaJade]

Just wanted to share this cute conversation I had with Stella. Love that she noticed I’ve been decorating for Halloween (I’ve also set up a second pumpkin patch next to her house so hopefully she’ll water them )

 

[Dracule]

Hey, y’all! Pecan is crafting a Spooky Lantern, so DM me if you want to come over and get the DIY. I’ll leave gates open for probably 30ish minutes. uwu

Spoiler: Halloween DIY

- You get certain Halloween ("Spooky" in-game) DIYs by talking to your villagers when they're crafting at home, just like you would any regular villager DIY. Megan gave me a "spooky scarecrow" - which is by all accounts not scary and actually very cute looking - and also told me that you can customize it using pumpkins of the color you want (orange, yellow, green and white). So you do NOT use customization kits for those recolors. The original spooky scarecrow recipe is crafted using 3 orange pumpkins, however.

Super late on replying to this, but when the trailer went live I noticed the different colours of pumpkins and it felt... strangely off to me. Felt like there was a reason behind it.

The update looks really good so the stuff you can get from your villagers are the same ones you can get from the shop
