Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[BelgianWaffleDogs]

TIL, or rather, the other day I learnt that DIY's are actually worth keeping. I don't play with people online often so I always sold DIY's until someone told me not to and I realised people traded them and sold them ;~; My life is now whole. I managed to get a Beekeeping Hive today and traded off my Shell & Bamboo Partition DIY's for bells.

Today I learned that the bottles on the beach are actually from villagers (WOT?!) clearly I rush through everything without reading

The other day I learned that if you put a dirt patch on the ground and put a custom design over it, it will fit the dirt patch and not the full area it normally does.
i also never put it together that your villagers can’t wear pants or shoes, and I only figured it out once I finally dressed them at Harv’s island.

Second time posting on this thread today. I had the radio on in my house to hear random things that came through. I kid you not when I'm telling you this. I heard the 3PM hourly theme from New Leaf, though only for around 15 seconds.

The other day I learned that if you put a dirt patch on the ground and put a custom design over it, it will fit the dirt patch and not the full area it normally does.

When a custom design has at least 1 pixel of transparency and you put it over one of the terraforming paths, it'll fit the path's border! (& you can also kinda see the path's texture through the custom design)

TIL the cherry blossom branches have an effect where the petals float off of it when you interact with it! Would've never noticed this except, when I moved them in the middle of a project, Billy ran up to one and made it do that love ya Billy

I just learned that you can't plant a coconut tree on a sand path tile if you made it have a round corner! Has to be the full box of sand path for it to go there. I was wondering why they would refuse to plant in otherwise perfectly fine places...

Today, I learned that my sister fruit is peach!... Which is a fruit that I already have on my island. Another thing I noticed is that the suspension bridge moves ever so slightly if you walk on it. It also moves when villagers walk on the bridge.

I had my first pitfall seed casualty. It took two days for a villager to fall inbut it was funny. Bit disappointed that I'vealready been rumbled. I planted the seed in the middle of the night when no villager was watching but they know it's me.

Today I learned that if you gift a wreath you made to one of your villagers, they'll hang it on their door!!

YIL flowers don't get in the way of rotating stuff

Today I learned that you can keep your "fullness" from the previous day as long as you don't end the game.

today I learnt how to make a second character~ which is perfect since I have lots of room~

TIL flowers can reproduce (or at least clone like this one did) when planted on sand path (not the beach)... which doesn't sound like it should be possible, but good to know I guess?

TIL that Biff is my niece's favorite villager (she's almost 4yo). He's moving from my brother's island so I'll take him; my brother could visit him so my niece can see him from time to time He's not one of my favorite but he grew on me and I don't have a Jock at the moment.

Don't know if this is already listed here, but to save uses on your shovel, press y to kick dirt on the hole you dug instead of using the shovel

Yesterday I learned the art room expands on your donations like the fish and bug rooms do. Spike sent me a real warrior statue yesterday, and when I put it in the museum a bunch of little ones appeared along with it.

I also learned when you place a partially transparent pattern over a path, you can see the shape of the path's tiles/bricks/etc in the pattern. Might be useful if you ever wanted to paint your paths a different color.

Holy cow that'll be a game changer for me, lol. Thanks!

I believe I saw a reddit post one day saying that pretty much only the "useful" uses of your tools decreased the durability — like, only when you dug up something with the shovel, or only when you hit a balloon with the slingshot? I'd have to find it again though

Filling holes doesn't actually use up any durability (neither does digging empty holes). They lose durability from hitting rocks, breaking rocks after eating fruit, and digging up buried items, weeds, flowers, trees (all sizes), and bushes.
