Trio of Towns Playthrough Topic

I love my quail, it's so cute. Best animal in game.

But yes, it blends with the coop floor.

As you increase watering can's efficiency and capacity, you can reach a point where the last water remains won't completely water your field. So just refill it when you see it's really close to emptying.

Also in one of the festivals, Siluka says how someone 'gave her something (as a gift) basically as a confession of sorts, so Iluka asked him to step outside so they can talk'. Siluka thought that he confused her for Iluka, but I think Iluka was just gonna shove negative auras on the guy or something

Upgrading tools really made my life easier, but they cost so many gems. I still have to use twice as much stamina to get through the day, so yay for the shops where you can eat. I am such a regular.

I have enjoyed reading this thread...

Got my game posted to me in the UK 2 days ago at a cost of over £55 (boarder tax, 2 day post etc.).

I have patiently waited for the weekend to start - didn't want to throw a sickie.

Just finished making my character departing from my adopted family (since I have coffee skin and jet black hair)

So excited...

I like the game so far. I also adore Lisette, she's my designated best friend in the game and her love of fairy tales couldn't be cuter. And unfortunately, Wayne's personality has grown on me. Ludus, Wayne and Ford are all adorable, with Ludus and Wayne being much too likable...for my liking. When I heard Wayne liked astrology and mythology my heart skipped a beat...and Ludus and the twins are hilarious. I've seen all of the bachelor's pre-dating events except Yuzuki and Hinata's, currently working on Yuzuki's (because darned Yuzuki comes so late, luckily getting his arrival event was immediate for me.) I would definitely have preferred if an older Tatsumi was a candidate...and if we had Tigre as one as well that would have been fantastic. Not really into any of the "special" candidates whatsoever, especially considering how limited their events and what you can do with them are. I forgot Inari existed until I got Dessie's friend event.

Lulukoko is my favorite town, and I like all of its villagers (other than Mithra and Lotus) so it's the only one I visit often by choice. Tsuyukasa is the most gorgeous town, but I rarely ever go there...and Westown is just where I go because I have to for mining. I hate Westown. Do people in Japan really think that everyone in the west has blue eyes or auburn/blond hair? Why does FeMC have brown eyebrows when everyone in her family has matching ones? Why?! I had to change my character drastically because pink hair and brown eyebrows don't work for me. I can only use darker colors...it's a pity.

I wish the material requirements needed less stuff. I've hoarded all of my gems because I'm afraid to sell them. And I haven't gotten a single amethyst. I'm in Winter year 1. In addition to this, the pets I want- the Maine Coon and Shepard and Beagle...are all annoying to get. And my chameleon quail gives me mini heart attacks every morning. I do love how fast the animal product amount goes up, though. It's lovely. My animal's affection also went up pretty quickly which is making animals less annoying to have in general. It helps that the products don't just fly off on you. And farming has been pleasant for once. For the first time in forever, I'm actually somewhat caring about crop quality. The watering can is so much better in this game so watering goes faster.

The clothing system in this game is probably the worst part for me. It's just so dumb to me that I need gems to dye clothes. It makes about as much sense as a brown alpaca being counted as a different animal when you can probably dye things brown. In SoS, clothes were died automatically upon you choosing what you wanted to make (I didn't have to use gold ore to make golden cotton cloth, for example), why would they take that out? Whoever made this choice needs to be punched in the face. Everything I want is always the most difficult to get for some reason...

[Blademaster_Aio]

The ore to dye cloth is probably so that people won't abuse the old flax thing again.

Anyway, after my mom left (she's so awesome), my little sister came to visit me out of the blue. A shock, but welcome. I'm really happy she came. I sent her a letter saying, "I'm doing my best!" while mom was here.

Animal care has become so much better. You can make your own special feed, productivity rises so quickly. This is one of the best changes.

[Middeer]

Oh man, the old flax trick... I had every single field conquered and millions of G in the bank before the end of my second year, lmao.

My biggest gripe about the game so far would probably be the revamp of the quality system, with all the separate aroma/color/etc. features. Trying to keep all those different crops stored when you have a bunch of them with like a 5% difference in whatever quality is really annoying, tbh. Maybe that's just me, but I really miss the old fertilizing system.

I don't like this system either, it would be good imo if you raised each of these qualities in different ways, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Anyway, you can just merge your crops to save space in the bag/storage box.

Yeah, I know, but I don't like having to worsen the quality of my better crops in order to do so. :'| Even if it is just by that few percent.

I'll just pray that the next game doesn't have this system.

I don't see the problem, myself, and I like that crops aren't just getting 'better' in some vague way, but are having specific traits improved over time. There's no reason you would end up with say, one tomato high in colour and one high in size and one high in flavour unless you are completely disorganized in your fertilizing.

As long as you either fertilize them all the same (doesn't require any memorization, just do them at the same time so you can't make mistakes) or only fertilize one patch, (& do the same with double watering) the system is no less prone to multiple stacks than the old system of fertilization = straight quality improvement. You might have multiple stacks by the end of the season if you don't sell/cook any, but the same goes for the old system, and there's no penalty for merging same-star-quality crops together for any quality that you aren't keeping for seed stock.

ie: (X = unfertilized, F= fertilized.)

XF

or

XX-XF
XX-XX

or

XX-FF

=max 2 stacks. It doesn't matter if you use a different fertilizer on F every day of its growth, you'll still end up with only 2 stacks, just like if the fertilizer was a straight quality fertilizer like in older games.

Personally, I use [FF] for normal crops because fertilizer's cheap so why not, and then I only have one stack, and [XX-FF] for slow-growth (multi-season) crops.

[Anna_Lynn]

Can I just say that I absolutely adore the competition festivals music? I think it's supposed to be a remixed version of the fashion fiesta's music from SOS, which is pretty nonstalgic.

Also a lovely surprise, just got my first gold crop: a tomato! I'm quite confused though, it's quality is not that great. Only 2 sad stars, lmao.

[Blademaster_Aio]

I love the new fertiliser system. I'm really enjoying raising crops. I loved crops before, but I love them even more now.

Mine was a Yam / Sweet Potato.

1.5 stars.

Kinda underwhelming actually. But whatever I'll keep.

[JunkerFarmer]

I got my house upgraded, AND I saw Wayne's first Resident Event! Now, I can give him coffee everyday instead of flowers, and I can save the flowers for the Flower Festival instead! That way, I can get his other events faster.
I really like this new system where you can check the hearts at the bookshelf. It makes me much more confident about getting the flower colors up, since now I know approximately how much longer I have to go before the next one. Seeing that Wayne had a half heart above everyone else made me a bit more motivated towards wooing him.
Anyways, does anyone have a link to a page that tells you when you get to make coffee? I would much appreciate it!~

[AllisAurora]

Does anybody know what the dotted lines are actually for?

Also, a question about moving things around on your farm: if I plant a banana tree and then move the plot of land it's on, will it still be growing on that plot?

You can move plots with crops on it in the Farm Edit screen, but do not put them in your Farm Circle inventory. Just pick them up, walk them to where you want them, then place it back down. I did this when I had to shift things for my bigger barn.

[EphemeralClemency]

Does anyone know if there's any way to transfer the cow or chicken from a small barn into a big one? Or are they stuck in the barn they started in? I just don't like wasting so much space.

I think you go into the animal book in the barn/coop and change it from there, but both barns have to be down for it to work. But I only have the one barn and coop, so I've not been able to check this, so somebody else may know better than me how this works.

[Shan O 123]

Oh my « Harvest Goddess » somebody actually made this topic. I just noticed it and I died of laughter.


Anyway, I can't wait to get my first pet!
