Moving to the other town ?

[AudreyDreamer]

I've always lived in Bluebell and prefer this town from Konohana. However, I am thinking of moving to Konohana next season so I can get the farm expanded and be able to plant more crops after I move back to Bluebell. Anyway, I was wondering will I get back all my animals once I'm back in Bluebell ? Will their affection decreased ?

Also, can I move to the other town if I'm married ?

Sorry for all the « new farmer » questions

You can only take 4 animals and some equipment with you. Although I don't know about marriage, I'd assume you can.

I know I can only bring a few animals with me. However, what I was wondering is once I move back to Bluebell, will I still have all my animals ? Or will they be "gone" forever ?

Unfortunately, if they exceeded their natural lifespan while you were gone, they will die from old age (from what I have read). So, they go into storage and don't need anything from you, but you can't access them and they may get old while you are in the other town.

That's why I started in Kono and then moved after I maxed out everything.

Here's some thoughts on what you could do:

-If you are barely started in Bluebell, and only have a few animals, take the ones who are the youngest with you, and focus on raising their productivity while you are on Kono, so even though you only have a few animals, they're producing a LOT of products. I have an excel spreadsheet I use to track what animal needs what treats.

-Figure out how long you will be gone. How many seasons until you've expanded what you need? (Seed maker is a MUST, imo, I'm in spring Year 7 and I've got about 68mil thanks to the seed maker, and I got mega delayed by all the bed requests, and making newbie mistakes) Then figure out which animals are going to die of old age while you are gone.

-Stock up stacks of whatever animal product you won't have access to anymore. Then leave that animal in storage when you move, you should have enough saved up to float you until you move back.

I find the minimum animals I need to produce products for Requests are a Cow (milk) a Jersey Cow (Jersey milk) a Sheep (wool) a Suffolk Sheep (Good Wool) an Alpaca (Alpaca wool) and both a regular Chicken (egg) and Suffolk Chicken (black egg). However, you only have room for 4 livestock and 2 chickens.

So, that means 5 animals and 4 spots. Let's say that your Cow is getting old, so just store up a stack of 99 Milk in your storage, and take the Jersey, Sheep, Suffolk, and Alpaca with you. You will either be ready to move back before your stack is depleted, or one of the other animals will die and free up a spot for a replacement.

-Hoard all your animal products instead of selling them (you won't need them, with the seed maker) unless you have a full stack of 99 and are just selling the excess. This will give you a buffer for when an animal dies and you have to raise it's productivity/hearts again.

How far along are you at Bluebell?

When you move to Konohana, your other animals will freeze, and nothing will happen to them until you're back.

When you get married, your spouse (and child) will move with you the next day. So don't worry, whether you are married or not, there will be no decrease in friendship/heart levels. You can only choose a few animals when moving and:

Thanks for all the great answers
I am only in Spring Year 2 (almost summer), so I'm not that much advanced in the game. I was thinking of maybe moving during the Fall and stay there until next spring or so.

Also, I never knew you could increase your animal's productivity. Working on that right now.

If I was that early in the game, I personally would definitely move to Konohana, expand my fields and get at least the seed maker. Thanks to the Kono fields + seed maker I'm almost to 99 mil and I've only expanded half the Bluebell expansions.

But that's just me I like being able to get as many animals as I want now because Kono is done and all available to me.

That might be a great idea. I love Bluebell so much though, so I am a bit sad.
Out of curiosity, have you bothered marrying someone while expanding your farm ?

I did, but it ended up delaying my expansions by 3 seasons and I regret doing it. By getting married, I got stuck with the big bed #1, big bed #2, and house expansion requests. If I was to do it over again, I would just focus on expanding my fields the maker sheds, and the tunnel (when I had to) and then when those were done, zip over to Bluebell, woo my prospective spouse get married, and do the marriage-related expansions at my leisure.

I mean, I suppose it doesn't really matter in the long run, but I would have prefered to delay getting married until later. I didn't really find that there were any perks to getting married that made it important to get it early, and it would have been nice to have something to look forward to.

I did! :D One of my goals is always getting married, and it comes first in the priorities list~

I want to add to the marriage thing. Like they had said they do move in with you. And also, they still go to work but they don't bring in money/gold to you.

Example: if you married Ash (like I did) and you move to konohana, he'll walk to bluebell and work at his family animal shop. If you married Cam, he'll open his flower shop in konohana.
