Q: Do best friends have to "add you back"?

When a friend is visiting you can click someone's name to add them as best friends in New Leaf then, for you, they're a Best Friend. Does that make me a best friend for them too, meaning they'll see when I come online and such? Or do we have to both add each other akin to the 3DS friend code syst...

Q: Do's & Don'ts for Island traveling?

Anyone got a list of things what you can bring for the island later on in the game and items you have to leave behind?

Ben Brocka

01:46

Holy crap beetles ARE worth a lot

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka I'm gonna be heading to the island shortly. lol

Ben Brocka

@Fluttershy want to do tours?

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka Maybe in a bit. I only just got home. I have to find my money rock, furniture trees, fossils, etc.

Ben Brocka

oh oh what's club tortimer?!

ohhh: thonky.com/animal-crossing-new-leaf/club-tortimer sold

Fluttershy

Yeah. You can play Tours with random people.

Fluttershy

02:09

@BenBrocka You wanna come to my island or yours?

Ben Brocka

02:21

@Fluttershy I'm already at my island but I can come to your town

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka Okay. I'll go open my gate!

I'll wait down at my dock.

Fluttershy

02:40

@BenBrocka I need a wet suit too. x_x

Ben Brocka

I THINK we can both get one

Fluttershy

I'm not sure how the island shop works.

Ben Brocka

the shader on that mask is sweet

I'll let you buy first and well see

Fluttershy

I was hoping for Link's cap instead of the Mask. If you happen to get the cap, I'll trade you for it! =D

Alright. let's give this a shot.

@BenBrocka Mine's in the box.

Fluttershy

03:03

@BenBrocka Thanks for helping me get some medals!

Ben Brocka

no problem

OrigamiRobot

03:40

@Fluttershy Because my town name is Kadath!

Q: How do I take off my pants?

So I was in my New Leaf house and I accidentally put on a pair of pants instead of displaying them. Then I went and clicked on myself and I have no option to take off my pants. Ever. I swapped them with another pair for the display, but I can't get those off either. How do I take off my pants?

Ben Brocka

11:36

@OrigamiRobot I have robot wall AND floor for you

OrigamiRobot

Yessssssssssssssss

Ben Brocka

ugh the nooklings finally carry two fortune cookies a day and they're both the same today

Ethan

what is this chat room for

Ben Brocka

Crossing animals

Fluttershy

So... I found three of those little arm wavy wooden figures. What are they for?

OrigamiRobot

11:49

@Fluttershy They wave arms and doesn't afraid of anything.

Fluttershy

@OrigamiRobot Oh. Okay.

>_>

Ben Brocka

@Fluttershy gyroids?

They make sounds in tine to music

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka Yus

Ben Brocka

music which takes much longer to first aquire in this game

FAE

12:27

@BenBrocka I think you're right about the trees in the center of a circle thing. None of my trees in rows have died though. :/ I guess we can't stagger. :(

Ben Brocka

@FAE Wait seriously?! even a grid of 3x3 in solid columns works?

Bleh I don't like the perfectly lined up trees

FAE

@BenBrocka Yep. :(

@BenBrocka Same. :(

OrigamiRobot

I need an axe so I can get rid of these useless trees.

Ben Brocka

the garden shop will move in after 7 days I think

FAE

@BenBrocka 30 gardening activities

Ben Brocka

12:29

or you can pick/plant a bunch of flowers (not sure if just moving them counts?)

FAE

Meh, my turnips are only going for 93 bells.

OrigamiRobot

@FAE What is a gardening activity?

FAE

@OrigamiRobot planting trees/flowers, watering flowers, pulling weeds

Updating sheet with my daily special/turnips

OrigamiRobot

Flowers are boring.

FAE

Whatevs, I have pink roses already! And orange pansies!

I like breeding hybrids.

Ben Brocka

12:41

@FAE same here. I have a field of flowers filling one big section of town

I need to look up the specifics though, I want to breed black roses again

FAE

Yay 2 pink cosmos.

@BenBrocka I want black and purple flowers, that's my main goal.

YES blue violets!

I love this game inordinately much.

@BenBrocka I spread my flower patches out so I can improve my general greenery.

Ben Brocka

13:07

@FAE I'm not sure they need to be spread out anymore since the achre system doesn't seem to apply anymore

FAE

@BenBrocka Oh it doesn't?

Ben Brocka

and all my villagers complain about for now is public works, so we'll see.

FAE

I saw the answer you got on your question but it's... a little hard to discern.

Ben Brocka

I'm going mostly on my gut rather than the answer, but it doesn't seem that it still applies so far

Besides, I can always move my flowers later, leaving them in one huge patch for now makes it easier to breed them and water them

FAE

yeah, that's true

Ben Brocka

13:12

Also it means I can run through 90% of the town without worrying I'll trample flowers

FAE

I don't have a lot of open space for that. The place where I had my flowers, 2 neighbors moved in and killed a lot of the open space. :/

I need an axe dammit.

OrigamiRobot

My goal is to have no flowers.

Fluttershy

My town flag! =D

FAE

@BenBrocka I'm so mad about the tree thing! I'm going to have the cut the staggered ones down and replant them if I want everything uniform. >_<

Ben Brocka

Eh, I'll probably just leave my trees, even with holes they'll look better than straight rows

FAE

13:22

True, and it's easier to see bugs. I'm just so annoyed.

Q: Are there any spacing rules for trees?

I want to clear out a spot for a small orchard near my train station so my visitors have immediate access to any fruits they might need. I'd like to make it as compact as possible. What are the minimum spacing requirements for trees to grow?

animal-crossing-new-leaf

FAE

13:37

@BenBrocka Hm, I just noticed that my 3x3 grid isn't perfect, there's a regular tree in the corner one space off, so I can't state for sure now that 3x3 rows work. I can't test and move it because I don't have an axe yet.

OrigamiRobot

I will pay more for an axe than @FAE

FAE

Gonna test a little

@BenBrocka I went ahead a day to test out trees, went back and got Resetti! Also someone new moved into my town when I came back. o.O

And moved in over my white rose patch. -_-

Ben Brocka

13:53

Resetti only shows up once now, unless you build his surveillance center

do the cop dogs show up eventually? I haven't found a lost and found yet

FAE

@BenBrocka I never go ahead in time usually, I didn't realize this would throw all my stuff ahead a day. :(

@BenBrocka Yeah you get to build a police station I hear.

I hadn't bought all the stuff from the Able Sisters yet for today, dammit...

@OrigamiRobot I JUST RUINED MY GAME TRYING TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION

:p

OrigamiRobot

You deserve it you dirty cheater!

Wipqozn

So I need to visit someones town.

FAE

@OrigamiRobot I was trying to test trees for you. T_T

Now my stuff is all ahead a day. :(

Wipqozn

But yeah, Katie is in my town asking me to take her someone else.

FAE

13:58

It's weird, Katrina is still here, who was my special NPC for the day, but all my fruit that would've come tomorrow is here now and I have new spots to dig up.

@Wipqozn I can open my gate.

Wipqozn

@FAE That would be most kind.

FAE

@Wipqozn Gate's open.

OrigamiRobot

Anyone need a Mammoth Skull?

FAE

Unsure, will check in a sec.

@Wipqozn So she just stays here now?

Wipqozn

@FAE Looks like it.

She'll probably ask you to take her to a new town too.

FAE

14:06

DAMMIT

I just accidentally picked my dry hybrid pink roses. >_<

ffffffffffffff

eugh I'm so mad at myself

My turnips spoiled too. Dammit dammit dammit.

OrigamiRobot

@FAE How far ahead did you go? O_o

FAE

Just to tomorrow.

I had bought a lot of turnips too. There goes that investment...

Wipqozn

I blame @OrigamiRobot.

OrigamiRobot

I thought it took a week for turnips to spoil?

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot IF you time travel they autospoil.

OrigamiRobot

14:12

Excellent.

Ben Brocka

@FAE If I get extra pinks I can give you some. once I have 2 I'll put them by each other to try and grow more

FAE

@BenBrocka Thanks, hopefully I'll get more soon.

@OrigamiRobot I didn't mean for any of this to happen. ;_; I just wanted to answer your question.

Ben Brocka

yeah, pink are pretty easy to get. I forget how to make blue

FAE

Dammit, when I'm having a crap day IRL, I don't want to have a crap day in AC too. :(

Ben Brocka

OrigamiRobot

14:20

wat

I need Majora's Mask

FAE

@OrigamiRobot Tristan has it.

@OrigamiRobot Also I already have a mammoth skull, thanks though.

OrigamiRobot

I have two extra Mammoth Skulls.

FAE

Aw, Blathers doesn't actually tell you when you complete a fossil now.

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot it has a cool shader too

if you turn to the side half of it is in shadow

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka I don't know what that means.

Ben Brocka

14:23

Shaders do visual effects like the "outlines" of characters in borderlands. Basically parts of the mask turn black when not face-on to the camera, it looks pretty cool when you see it

FAE

Okay I need to stop playing for a bit because I'm freaking out that I messed my town up. x_x

I only got like 3 hours of sleep last night because I ran out of my meds (which help me sleep) from miscounting and then it turned out I didn't even have to be up as early as I got up because the appointment I woke for wasn't actually until 3 hours later.

My day did not start well.

Ben Brocka

15:04

@FAE oh, I have Nook n Go, I can order your exotic bench and whatever now

I can check the catalog tonight

FAE

@BenBrocka Ooooh awesome! Let me know how much it is. You can't order stuff through others' catalogs to get it into yours, right?

Ben Brocka

I don't think so

FAE

Hm, one of my neighbors wants to move.

Ben Brocka

If you like them you can nag them and sometimes they'll stop

FAE

He's a dragon so he's kinda neat, but he also has his house in an inconvenient spot and also has decorated his house in the same way I want mine eventually (Exotic)...

Ben Brocka

15:13

@FAE On the plus side he might sell off this exotic items

FAE

@BenBrocka I don't know what to do! I kind of want him to stay because I like the variety of my neighbors.

OrigamiRobot

@FAE That's a good thing.

I bought that exotic bench from one of my neighbors.

Fluttershy

15:26

@FAE I hope he moves to my town! Bearville is what I should've named it...

I have... Four bears, a cat, elephant(?), and donkey. =(

FAE

I don't know whether to tell him to stay or leeeeeave

OrigamiRobot

I wish I had a Dragon so I could make him say "Ia Cthulhu"

Ben Brocka

I have two bunnies a chipmonk, an ostrich, a black chicken and or hawk kinda thing, a dudebro bear and a pig

and someone's moving in soon

OrigamiRobot

15:54

I have someone named Lionel moving in and I will be upset if he isn't a lion.

Fluttershy

Catching beetles is hard.

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy Approach slowly. If the beetle starts to jiggle stop moving until it stops moving. Rinse repeat.

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn ohhhh I didn't notice they had a tell

the yellow ones are fuckers

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka Indeed they do.

I need to leave for class. Toodles all.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn So... The beetles use jiggle physics. Gotcha.

Ben Brocka

16:01

FAE

16:14

@BenBrocka My dudebro is a hamster, which is kinda hilarious

Ben Brocka

I miss Bob. A friend has him, I want to steal him

FAE

16:37

Ah, it does jump you a day ahead in progress and stuff, Cyrus woke up.

Ben Brocka

you got him to wake up?

OrigamiRobot

What's the pink lady's name?

Ben Brocka

reese

if you mean the alpaca

OrigamiRobot

Yes.

I asked a turnip question.

I'll have my building permit today!

Oh, and a house upgrade too.

Fluttershy

16:53

I now owe Tom Crook 198k bells. And need 50k bells to finish my bridge.

And my dudebro is a donkey. Assuming you're all calling the sporty personality type a the dudebro.

Ben Brocka

the one that's always talking about lifting weights

Well, I will tomorrow.

Ben Brocka

Wipqozn

23:06

It left me broke. I only have 8000 bells.

Ben Brocka

second floor is smaller than expected

FAE

yeah, it's tiny

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka Yeah. After the second story you get to choose your expansions.

Ben Brocka

where'd you get all the money? Beetles?

oh goliath beetles are today's special at reese's

FAE

@OrigamiRobot what else do you need?

OrigamiRobot

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Which I have.

I don't remember seeing that...

OrigamiRobot

rococo bed

FAE

You can rent wetsuits here at the island if you want to save your medals for Club Tortimer

Wipqozn

I bought a wetsuit so I could bring it home.

I have yet to use it though.

Ben Brocka

hermit crab!

FAE

@OrigamiRobot Shall I depart so I don't get in the way of your beetle catching?

...can I even go home without you?

OrigamiRobot

you can catch too

FAE

23:19

oh okay, you sure?

OrigamiRobot

yea

FAE

Fruit beetles (the little green ones) are worth crap, just scare them away

they're only like 100 bells

@OrigamiRobot the blue Emperor butterflies are 2500 a pop, so not bad either

Wipqozn

@FAE They're worth 100 bells exactly. They're terrible.

FAE

yeah

Ben Brocka

if I plant more trees on the island will I get more bugs?

FAE

23:25

Hm, potentially?

augh, sorry

OrigamiRobot

:P

Wipqozn

@FAE Apology not accepted.

OrigamiRobot

wait

nooooooooooo

that was a new one

FAE

Goliath

Atlas up here, think it is at least

north of me

Ben Brocka

if you get more goliaths they're worth a lot in my town

OrigamiRobot

FAE

@BenBrocka is that your Re-Tail special today?

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Fruit bugs are poop.

OrigamiRobot

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn so do I

Ben Brocka

SCIENCE! throws the turtle into the ocean

...are turtles saltwater animals?

Wipqozn

@BenBrocka Probably.

FAE

@OrigamiRobot May take a coconut or two? Also I have your fruit still, but I'll have to give it to you back at your town.

Wipqozn

I'm a Tortoise,a land Turtle. I don't associate with those dirty sea turtles.

OrigamiRobot

@FAE sure

FAE

23:32

@OrigamiRobot Fruit beetle north of me

Wipqozn

My word that's a rather sizable insect.

Ben Brocka

FAE

@OrigamiRobot shark here

Wipqozn

These bugs are just out of control

Ben Brocka

OMG I caught one of those

I want one for the house

FAE

23:35

Did you get one of the Wharf Roaches yet, @OrigamiRobot?

OrigamiRobot

yea I got those in normal town

FAE

ah okay

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot I don't see your online status. Did you Best Friend me back?

OrigamiRobot

probably not

FAE

@OrigamiRobot I should probably head out cuz it's getting late here

Can I leave the island without it prompting you?

I'll leave fruit in your house

@BenBrocka you said Goliaths are the special at your place today?

Ben Brocka

23:38

yeah

will open the gate after I return (momentarily)

FAE

Can I stop by quick?

Oh, damn

It won't let me leave without you.

OrigamiRobot

Do you still want the lychees I brought? Looks like they're native on your island

Ben Brocka

OMG beetles can show up in town too on palm trees

FAE

Ben Brocka

I think the island fruit rotates randomly

OrigamiRobot

Yea, that's why I grabbed all the coconuts I could

FAE

My island fruit is just lemons

not events, tours
