Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[Seelie]

TIL that if you bury 6 fossils around your island, no more new ones will spawn and you won't have to go around hunting them down every day after you've finished your museum collection.

I literally don't know why I never thought of this before?? It's just never occurred to me to re-bury my fossils.

Islanders now have Barbecues at the plaza, eating kebabs without me xD

Today I just learned (or maybe "realized" is a better word?) that there is a thin progress bar under each material when crafting a DIY. So like, if you need 5 of something and only have 2 in your inventory, the bar will be 2/5ths full.

EDIT: Another TIL.
Sable has special dialogue depending on the weather. Like I knew she mentions things like shorter sleeves in the summer and seasonal stuff, but today she said "you came all this way in the rain just to see us? You're the sweetest" and that's just really cute.

i didn't realize the walking sound on custom designs was different and didn't depend on if you had rock paths or something under them.

Today I learned (noticed) that when your character exits their house, the doorknob turns. The perks of playing on a monitor.

... today i learned that you can get rid of wasps with a party popper when shaking your island trees. what even?

Right now I’m trying to move some loose items that i have on the ground, some of which I’m saving for a friend and am temporarily storing them in some rooms in my house since most are empty and when I dropped a flooring by my wooden wardrobe, I saw that it dropped on the wardrobe. I didn’t know you could put items on the top of them.

I just figured that it would work on beaches, since palm trees can be planted on both beaches and sand paths.

I planted one on the beach. Guess we'll see tomorrow if it grows.

To follow up on this, no, bamboo won't grow on beaches. But you can plant them there.

When you place a building over your furniture, the items go to the lost & found recycle bin! I had no idea! I thought my custom design sun beds and coconut drinks had been destroyed! I always wondered what the point of that box was - all I ever found before were cardboard boxes, moody dresses and the occasion rust part... LOL

 

[TheSillyPuppy]

Today I learned that the fastest way to get rid of duplicate DIY recipes is to give them to a friend who has recently started the game or a new character.

 

[Lanstar]

I just learned that coconut trees can be planted right next to the land edges of the beach: Before then, I kept planting them 1 space from the land edges, thinking that they needed the sands surrounding their sides. That made decorating with them even more flexible!

so, when you send villagers letters it doesn't do anything - unless they send you a letter back. then it apparently counts towards a friendship increase? my lord i'm gonna be here forever trying to get these portraits from my villagers.

 

[eseamir]

this may sound super dumb but I learned that you have to leave weird gaps in your orchard (between third and fourth row trees) to let some of the trees grow before moving them when they're fully grown otherwise they stay little seedlings

idk if anyone else has commented on this, but while i was cleaning one of my rooms in my house i had the portable radio out and it played like a lil ad for the Halloween event. u know how in the October update trailer it had a very distinct song?? the portable radio played that song and there was someone speaking animalese over it!! i wish i had taken a video of it but its been a bit too long since it's happened.

edit: i decided to listen to the radio some more while i do other things, and there was an ad that had ACNL music in it!! im pretty sure it was the hourly song 12pm. ig this is now my project for the day on acnh.

I just crafted a tree’s bounty big tree just now and found out the “big” tree is not so “big.” Idk how I feel about this. I was hoping it wasn’t too big or didn’t take up a lot of tiles even if it wasn’t but, I was hoping it was going to be a bit bigger than the size it is. Does that mean the festive trees are the same size? :/

on the plus side, yesterday i found out how pretty the arch was. I built one and I really like it. For some reason i expected it to be kinda ugly.

I agree! It’s too small.

I learned that when Gullivarr comes to town, and I time travel one day back, I don't get my reward in the mail. I also did not receive the drum set I ordered.

I also learned that you sometimes get two message in a bottle. One in the morning and one at night.

I think the big festive tree is 2x2 unlike the 1x1 tree's bounty big tree!

Thanks for the info . I’ll try making one and see how it looks, and if I can get it to work with my design.

today i learnt that while looking through the catalog, you have the option to hide items that aren’t able to be ordered :’o
