There we go Time Lord Ludus! I like the sound of that.

Get thee to Netflix, with haste! I believe the 2005 revival eps are up there (except the last season or two). A lot of the classic episodes used to be up there as well, not sure if they still are. The older episodes are wonderfully cheesy, even by early sci-fi standards. I have a copy of every episode that still exists (sadly, a lot of early TV shows were simply wiped and lost to time because the film was really expensive but resusable).

I've been meaning to watch them on Netflix, but recently got a second job. It's on my to watch list. Time is not my friend at the moment.

Doctor Who hasn't been on Netflix (USA) for a while. Most of the good stuff from the BBC has been slowly being removed from streaming services.

Bummer. You're from USA as well? I hate it when they remove programs. Especially when I'm right in the middle of one.

Aahhh, has it? I didn't know .


I did just check though--if you're an Amazon Prime member, series 1-9 are available for viewing!

Sorry to be a stick-in-the-mud...but this thread has gotten pretty well off topic. It'll get locked if it continues this way. Of course, I think everyone is done with the actual topic, but if there's anyone left who wants to discuss house styles, now'd be the time, before the thread ends up locked. (If you really want to talk about Dr. Who, though, I think you can do that on the Back Fence board.)

I've never really understood rules about threads going off topic on forums in general. It is one thing if someone sharply derails a thread on purpose, but we're only human and discussion of anything is naturally going to lead to something else related... and so on... until you're off the original subject altogether.

Anyway, the vast amount of materials needed to make some of these houses is kind of staggering to me. I managed in SoS just by being stubborn about growing Roses (rainbow purple all the things!), but mining has never been less appealing. The only "upgrade" over SoS's mining system we got in 3oT is that there are more spots to hit, and they changed the "rules" of mining. I still haven't figured out if it will actually be better to skip two days each time or if save scumming can mitigate the item quality loss. Probably a mixture of both, if the Hammer upgrades help increase rare drops.

I'm kind of upset there's no food buff for Mining, too.

I think it just helps keep the board organized and easier to understand and use. It's not my place to say when something is off-topic anyway, but I dread the idea of a thread I created getting locked, like some sort of scarlet letter. (Can't help but feel that way.) I think even if a moderator notices that the a thread is well off topic they give a warning to go back on topic before actually locking it. Not sure. It may even be that a lock only happens if the 'off' topic is contentious.

I haven't seen much about mining in Trio yet, but it's certainly true that these higher-level houses require a lot of materials, some easier to get than others. From what I've heard so far, I think it's a bit easier to get materials, but I don't have a specific source for that statement. A 'greater chance of rarer materials' mining bonus in your meals would have been nice, for sure.

I'm sorry for going a bit off topic again, but I think this information may be useful to get your desired house.

It depends on what you need. Skipping two days makes the probability of getting better ores and gems much higher and you will almost never see things like iron, scrap iron, etc. (although this might be also influenced by the level of my hammer, since sometimes a better level makes some ores stop dropping at some minning spots). On the other hand, at the beginning of the game, you might be better trying every day to get things like iron, copper, etc. which you need to upgrade your tools. Save scumming helps, but you need to be very lucky to get something valuable. (My experience mining daily is mostly limited to the first two spots you can mine until you get a better hammer. After that I decided to wait 3 days to get better ores). You can also mine every 3 days to get gems you can sell for money to buy materials (see next paragraph).

You can also buy many ores and gems from the material shop in Westown, but not all, and they can be a bit pricey. Things like glittering stone, diamonds, orihalcon, etc. you need to mine. This http://wikiwiki.jp/boku3sato/?%BA%CE%B9%DB%B8%FD is a list of everything you can mine, and this http://wikiwiki.jp/boku3sato/?%BB%F1%BA%E0%B2%B0 is the inventory of the materials shop (it increases as you advance in the town ranks).

I'm the one who should apologize. It seems derailing topics is my superpower. I need to remind myself to stay focused.

I don't think a how to is off topic. Many would like to know where to get materials for their favorite styles. I know I appreciate the info.

No, you're right...details on how to best mine to get your housing materials may not be THE topic, but it directly contributes to it. Thanks, Musashi.

So once you're past the beginning of the game, it's better to wait two or three days without any mining, to get the better stuff out. I know that even if I mine every day in SoS, if I verrrrry patiently do the save-reload cycle, I can get pretty much any gem out of it. Eventually. But it does take quite a long time to get orichalcum on a day like that, I've noticed, even with the best hammer in the game.

I'd love to see exact stats on how the how-many-days-since-last-mined reduces things, as opposed to how the better-quality hammer boosts them. If that makes sense. I'm somebody who likes charts and graphs and statistics when it comes to how my game works, lol. But once I'm past the first few seasons I'll probably just set a schedule to mine everything I can on 2 days each week, so I don't have to keep track of it otherwise.

The Modern Japanese exterior is gaining on the Wizard in my favourites, now, as the materials for it look easier to gather...and it's less expensive, too.

You can see what you can get in each mining spot and what is the probability for each drop here (images taken from the perfect guide book, so they are in japanese, sorry ). There are 5 mining spots. 1-4 are in Westown and 5 is in your basement. 1 (located next to Ford's house) and 4 (located next to the stairs leading up to Wayne's house) are available from the beginning. Number 2, located in the middle of stairs leading up to Ford's house, unlocks when you upgrade your hammer once (the parameter of your hammer you need to upgrade is 使いやすさ). Number 3 (next to Wayne's house) and number 5 can be used after you upgrade your hammer twice. The first table is the usual drop chart while the second one is the chart for mining after skipping at least two days. C is low probability, B is normal, A is high and S is very high. A bar (-) means that you will not get that drop with that hammer level. You can see that many things with A's and S's in the normal chart get B's and C's in the 3-day chart, while many B's and C's in the normal chart get upgraded to A's and S's, specially with higher hammer levels.

Edit: I forgot to mention it in my previous post, but if you are lucky you can get several glittering stones at once in a part-time job by Lotas where you need to clean Misra's house (the object you get is randomly selected from a given set). I mention this because mining every 3 days with a good hammer does not give many glittering stones and you can't buy them.

Not sure which is my absolute favorite. My choice will probably depend on whom I marry. I did narrow it down to five houses.

Music Hall
Undersea
Wizard
Pet
Gold

For Ludus, I might try making my farm look like some kind of Jungle temple, so Undersea and Gold could make a fun combo. For Ford Music Hall or Wizard both are awesome. If I lose my mind and pick Woofio, then Pet and Wizard both have cute stuff to offer.

I think I might have said something similar before, but yeah...I don't know who I'm going to choose as a spouse yet at all, it could end up being someone from any of the towns, at this point...but it might influence my choice of final house style, just as it might influence my soul-pet choice and a few other things. There's so many nice options, I kind of need criteria for choosing, to narrow it down.

Aww, no love for the tropical house? That's what I'm going for, it's so colorful!

Under the Sea is so cute, the color blue is psychologically calming to me ^^
