Depends, so you mean the item pyramid or like a stack of mountains

kindred yarrow
#

If you mean the pyramid item, maybe put it on sand? Not sure tbh

lone knoll
#

i need ideas for my entrance... my town hall is so close to my airport 😭

keen notch
#

I wish I had listened to those who said leveling everything takes forever šŸ’€

#

@lone knoll omg same it’s kinda annoying

lone knoll
#

here’s a pic for reference... if anyone has any ideas i’d love to hear them

rotund cave
#

i haven’t even started there yet, lmaoo i’m barely working on the right side of my island

#

I wish I had listened to those who said leveling everything takes forever šŸ’€
@keen notch i’m trying to level everything out rn šŸ’€

topaz sphinx
#

Woof

#

I need another 15000 bells to finish my gym

ivory salmon
topaz sphinx
#

Nice

keen notch
#

@rotund cave It took foreverrr. And then at the end of it my bridge is one space off because I didn’t pay attention šŸ˜‚ but it’ll be cool when all the new cliffs are in! Worthwhile

rotund cave
#

omg i messed up in my staircase placement but when everything comes together i hope it looks well and aligned @keen notch

keen notch
#

I’m sure I’ll ruin moving all 10 residents houses to the back šŸ˜‚

woven drift
#

its not really accurate butnu get it

loud pawn
#

Now I’m done for real, industrial/ modern style with an nature campsite

full mortar
#

Got a lot of my basic layout done, now thinking about paths and flower/tree placement. Anyone have ideas for these bits? I want to do a waterfall park in the red circled bit but idk if I’ll have enough room for the cliffs required

past horizon
#

@loud pawn can I visit your island?

iron fulcrum
#

I need some ideas for my Island
I have fishing areas, a main street, a large residential area and waterfalls next to the museum.

dreamy compass
#

roads are unfinished

topaz sphinx
#

Aww yeah, joined the 5 club.

iron fulcrum
#

HOW

#

I like it @dreamy compass , especially the villagers in like 2 different residential areas

dreamy compass
#

thank you!

topaz sphinx

#

Congrats on the 5 stars nookthumbsup

topaz sphinx
#

Thanks

woven drift
#

Im like 1-2 ā­ļø

visual hamlet
#

I'm like 3, but waiting on remaking my island before bothering

hushed oriole
#

I need outside furniture I think
I'm at 3 stars and isabelle told me I could rebuy stuff I've already bought

woven drift
#

I think i can put hay bales and get stars

topaz sphinx
#

Cos, I got 5* finally! Woop woop

woven drift
#

@topaz sphinx I GOT FIVE TODAY TOO

topaz sphinx
#

Nice! I knew we’d get there together

woven drift
#

I woke up to it I was so happy ^_^

topaz sphinx
#

My town looks a bit different than the last time you saw it. We should share tours sometime, I wanna see how yours ended out also

woven drift
#

I’m gonna open it in a few

#

Atm I’m trying to get rid of the disgusting fossil holes so I don’t see them anymrore

topaz sphinx
#

Itch-apalooza

#

I shoved all my trees in a corner so I don’t have to look at wasps nests again for the most part

woven drift
#

I got a beekeeper house thing and it requires a wasp nest 🤢

#

I’m never learning it ever

dreamy compass
#

I divided the island into areas for each type of fruit

#

middle is native: cherry

woven drift
hot pond
#

Does anyone have any tips on how to lay out my villagers houses on my island? I want a little area where the houses are set out but I’m not too good at that sort of stuff.

topaz sphinx
#

Depends on how much space you want each to have

woven drift
#

@woven drift beekeeper house? I'm interested

topaz sphinx
#

It’s not necessarily hard to spread 10 houses over the top 1/4 of your map, but if you’re looking for more space then you’ll want to work in district style where you’re fitting your entire villager base within the space of ~10x30 squares

loud pawn
woven drift
#

No I will not craft you ANY beekeeper houses, I hate holes I hate the nests they make me itchy I hate them I’m sorry lol @woven drift

topaz sphinx
#

Here’s mine, they’re all boxed in lol

hot pond
#

Another problem is I don’t know where to put them. I’ll send a pic of my map

topaz sphinx
#

Most of them are never home and most of the infrastructure in my town is in the north anyhow so meh lol

woven drift
#

how impossible would it be to make a bear face shaped lake do u think

#

like a rilakkuma ~

hot pond
#

Doesn’t matter I can’t send because I haven’t been here long enough lol

topaz sphinx
#

@woven drift not impossible at all but it might end up a little blocky at parts

#

Also depends how big you want the lake

olive fable
#

Hey im looking for some critiques on my map hope yall dont mind

#

Also a bear shaped island sounds adorable

woven drift
#

@topaz sphinx u think it’s possible to do without blockiness & keeping it relatively small

#

like medium sized

topaz sphinx
#

Like... how medium sized

#

Also it’ll be slightly blocky no matter what but it won’t be pixel levels

dreamy compass
topaz sphinx
#

Hmm

#

What’s your goal here?

#

Like theming or anything specific?

dreamy compass
#

Nah no theme, just... good looking, haha

#

Well, maybe my theme is natural

#

Landscape and decoration wise

topaz sphinx
#

So like woodlands and such

dreamy compass
#

Yeah for example, also gonna let my weeds accumulate a little after getting KK on the island

topaz sphinx
#

That’s not a bad theme to have. Could make some pretty good projects with that

#

Really decking out the campsite for example, giving that area some polish

shell karma
#

Hey ! Do you think it's possible to have a nice and practical island ? I haven't finished the game yet (no terraforming) and am already struggling to get my 6th villager in a nice place

topaz sphinx
#

I think so

dreamy compass
#

Really decking out the campsite for example, giving that area some polish
@topaz sphinx Yup! that's why I left so much space there

topaz sphinx
#

Also you could work in some artsy angles

#

Put blank canvas and a stool down near a vista, maybe a wood low table or stone table with one of the writing kits the nooks sell, create one of those ā€œinspiration zonesā€

#

Could be a good use of your smaller third level areas where you might not have options otherwise given the space restrictions

#

Put up a telescope, maybe some natural log benches and a campfire

#

Or the cherry blossom picnic set

#

Add a sleeping bag or two, badda-bing badda-boom you’ve got yourself a backpackers getaway

dreamy compass
#

Thank you for the suggestions!

hot pond
#

Ok!

#

I can send a pic now

#

Hol up

topaz sphinx
#

If you’re looking to go full ā€œman of the woodsā€ I have a deer decoration recipe you’re welcome to @dreamy compass

hot pond
#

Sorry for bad quality pic

whole shale
hot pond
#

I thought I would tear down the cliff where my character is currently and put a billiard with all my villagers there

topaz sphinx
#

Hmm, could work

dreamy compass
#

@topaz sphinx will keep it in mind, thanks a lot!

topaz sphinx
#

I’m heading to bed it’s 6am, just dm me if y’all need me or advice and I’ll try to get to it as soon as possible

spice wagon
#

Can you place paths under bridges and inclines? If so do you have to do it before building?

alpine cape
#

Home stretch, just a little left to develop ^^ then I can finally invite people to my island haha

queen nexus
#

Do you guys like my town. What would you do with it?

alpine cape
#

I like how you guys think people can tell how your town looks from the map

pure horizon
#

We can...

alpine cape
#

Except not really

#

Map just shows your layout

primal violet
#

Ye

median nebula
alpine cape
#

Layout doesn’t show individual spaces, color choice, custom paths, etc

queen nexus
#

@median nebula i just like having my villagers be easier to find

median nebula
#

Yeah i guess its easier to have them bunched up. I just wanted a more realistic town layout with nice big customised gardens for everyone

#

just wondering if im alone lol

queen nexus
#

i'm prolly gonna do that for my second town (don't judge me...)

median nebula
#

no judgement lol dw

woven drift
alpine cape
#

I have a couple bunches but not all of my villagers are in one neighborhood, and even then the ones that are have tiered housing where no 3 are on the same tier

queen nexus
#

uhh are you trying to place a bridge?

median nebula
#

how can no 3 be on the same tier. are you limiting yourself to 6 villagers?

woven drift
#

Yes, there was a longer waterfall but it didn't like that either

alpine cape
#

@median nebula Within the same bunch, and there are 3 tiers. Look at my map above

median nebula
#

oh there are 4 outside the neighbborhood i gotchu

queen nexus
#

Yeah terraforming can be a pain :/

alpine cape
#

Technically the two on the left above the 6 are in the same neighborhood, just on the third cliff tier

#

and across a river

median nebula
#

true, i COMPLETELY moved every single tile of river and cliff

alpine cape
#

oof

woven drift
#

It also makes out that it needs more room than it does

median nebula
#

my river is in a completely new place from start to finish yeah

#

and my cliffs are probably about 80% different

#

other than entrances of course since i cant move them

queen nexus
#

The most I did was remove and replace my rivers

alpine cape
#

I don’t really get the people that flatten their entire towns. Never seen them build them back up to anything better than had they worked with what they had with some moderate to minor adjustments in terrain

woven drift
#

How many tiles do you need between a building and bridge?

median nebula
#

i flattened to kind of make a blank canvas

#

i believe 2 remrin

queen nexus
#

I'm not sure

alpine cape
#

instead it just makes way more work for yourself

median nebula
#

each one needs a 1 tile buffer. so it adds up

woven drift
#

Rip

queen nexus
#

It is honestly SO DUMB that i can put things over paths but not under

ripe badger
#

also u cant have 2 inclines close to each other.. found out the expensive way

hot pond
#

Anyone got any villager house layout tips? I wanna make like a mini village with their houses but am not very good with that sort of stuff. I’ll post a pic of my map. Where my character is is where I want the village to go

#

Sorry for bad quality pic

median nebula
#

@hot pond what I did was keep them semi evenly spread across the riverfront, with a small community in the bottom left

queen nexus
#

can i see ur map

median nebula
#

i added the extras into the blank space but i started with the riverfront thing

@ivory salmon what lanterns are those? So pretty!!

#

lol why would i mind

#

oop you deleted it

#

šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø go right ahead

hot pond
#

Yeah I realised it was a dumb question

plain jackal
#

Any tips?

woven drift
#

Finally finished flowering my map

final belfry
#

I’m looking for pictures of the Kotusuko table , looking for small tables to showcase fossils outside of the museum

plain jackal
#

the podium is good for that

final belfry
#

the podium is good for that
@plain jackal do you have pics ?

plain jackal
#

no, but you could see it in the item spreadsheet. my friend has it and it displays bugs/fossils really well

final belfry
#

Where can I find that item spreadsheets?

woven drift
#

@woven drift You can't you need it to add the second layer of the mountain

#

what is going to happen if I add a second layer ?

#

It fixes? What else would happen

#

It fixes the weird thing ?

#

Yes, that’s why they said that. Lol

#

I didn’t know. No need to be unpleasant, em...

#

?

#

I’m not? Lol

dry plaza
#

Can anyone tell me the dimensions of an incline? It is 2 wide right, how long does it go?

woven drift
#

Goes about 2-3 blocks I think

spiral burrow
#

Where are your guys houses in relation to the villagers houses? I could make a house that's far up north away from a "city" area, but it feels so.... lonely

woven drift
#

On a cliff tbh

Anyone wanna visit my island so I can give a tour

#

I have a pretty cool island to show off šŸ˜Ž

woven drift

#

Decorate more with fences and flowers!

#

I reached five stars today

modest bough
#

can anyone help me design my island layout. I can pay u 500k bells or smthin Im rlly bad at this and my island's half destroyed with trial and error šŸ˜‚

woven drift
#

does 5 star get u guys anything

#

or is it sorta a pat on the back thing

#

A gold water can and gold roses

#

That’s about it, but it does feel good once you finally reach it

#

I already fully paid off my house loans, all I have left is decorating my house more, filling up the museum completely, finishing my NM challenges which are almost all done, and selling tarantulas

#

oooo that’s fun ~ i can probably wait til i’m satisfied with my island to shoot for 5 stars cus i already have the gold recipes

#

omg the filling the museum is going to take ages for me late game when i’m done with decor stuff cuz i haven’t fished or dig fossils at all...

#

or caught bugs... šŸ˜…

gleaming ivy
#

Does anyone save their duplicate fossils or do they sell them?

woven drift
#

I sell them

#

They get me like 30+K

#

Factors of a 5 star island:

  • Fences, you need around 80
  • Furniture, A LOT
  • Villagers, the more the merrier
  • Flowers?
  • IDK
#

I literally have flowers EVERYWHERE

#

Covers all my island literally THERES no empty spots besides the beach because furnitures and fencing

#

i really don’t see myself completing my island until there are bushes if we ever get them

#

a woodsy theme just feels so incomplete without bushes idek?

#

I like completing islands, love giving people tours they’re always so amazed

#

This is my third island completing

#

i respect the flower grind tho cosmic cus flowers are legit the best best best decor

#

yesss I’m bout to show u how crazy it is LOL

#

excited hehe

#

do u have a fav flower

#

This is only 1/20 of the map LMFAO there’s so much

#

I have a money tree in the sea of flowers, no one can shake it so it makes me laugh when ppl try

cedar forge

#

Hey everyone!
PLEASE help me. I just unlocked terraforming and I really want to update my layout. I really don’t know what I should with it while trying to keep some of the same river structures, etc. Can someone give me some pointers?
(BTW, my town is a little bit more updated now this is an older picture lol)

woven drift
#

Maybe don’t bunch up the houses like that into one place

#

One on the top left then another on a cliff maybe?

#

@woven drift omg those flowers

#

Are they organized by colour too

glacial barn
#

Do you guys suggest making paths 2 wide or 3 wide? I cant tell what’s better

pulsar sundial
#

I personally do 3-wide

sacred stump
#

Do you guys suggest making paths 2 wide or 3 wide? I cant tell what’s better
@glacial barn 2 Wide matches up with bridges and inclines.

north saddle
#

or you can go crazy and do it 4 wide for maximum pathway designs

karmic field
#

@topaz sphinx Gunnashow us your map :D?

woven drift
#

Most of them are yeah @woven drift

#

i think 3 wide looks the cleanest but it unfortunately doesn’t add up nicely to other things

limber pine
#

how do you get 1 star and etc

woven drift
#

Decorate

#

More villagers, visitors

inner stump
#

is it actually possible to build a waterfall on the highest point in the map? so basically if you add another plateau while you're already on the third floor? cause it says its too risky to climb up there with a ladder

#

cant check if its possible to get up there with a ramp rn :/

woven drift
#

No, it will tell you you can’t climb up there or it’s dangerous

#

It’s unfortunately not possible

inner stump
#

ah darn it. thanks!

#

really wanted to have a really high where I could put my telescope but I guess the third level will have to suffice then

woven drift
#

Can try to cheat the system and put a incline there or try to @inner stump

inner stump
#

yea Ill try doing that tomorrow, already building something else rn^^

woven drift
#

Tempted to restart my game.. ugh I know I’ll regret it

#

Can I visit someone’s island

#

Has anyone made a sand bar path along the top of the island to run quickly across, and also have for ocean fishing across the top? I’m thinking of doing this but I’m unsure how viable it is

alpine locust
#

Does anyone have pointers on how to put villager houses together? I like having all of the houses close so I can keep track and make it look pretty at the same time

woven drift
#

I want to reset so bad.. but all my work šŸ˜”

languid jungle
#

Would like to make a canyon to the private beach but the museum and the campsite are kinda in the way. Thoughts on replacing them?

prisma flax
#

@woven drift don’t worry, if you reset you can just give all of your valuables and flowers to me. Ya know, since It’s me...Your brother. I’ll take great care of them šŸ˜‚

#

wish i could make a new island without deleting my current one or buying another switch and game...

dusk cove
#

I’m thinking no path

ripe bluff
#

Hmm

#

Maybe try a less harsh path?

dusk cove
#

Yeah maybe

ripe bluff
#

Something like this

dusk cove
#

Ohh nice

ripe bluff
#

It is a really cute path

#

I’m thinking of using it myself

dusk cove
#

I agree

ripe bluff
#

I think it would look a lot nicer as a path in the pic you sent, too

dusk cove
#

I’m thinking maybe I can also just line the path to the stall with flowers

#

Maybe white tulips

ripe bluff
#

That would look really nice, too

#

I would also suggest lining the edge of the hill with a pretty fence

dusk cove
#

That’s a good idea :0

tardy yarrow
#

I feel like I can't progress with my town right now because I'm waiting for either cuter fences, or Leif to bring shrubs back

dusk cove
#

I’m going to rearrange all the buildings (rip) besides the museum I think

#

Aww

ripe bluff
#

My map is a mess rn so I should do that as well

dusk cove
#

I just unlocked terraforming like 3 days ago so I spent like 2 days changing the cliffs and rivers slowly

near ether
#

anyone have a good resource for ideas (something like a magazine?) I'm so overwhelmed......

ripe bluff
#

I can’t think of anything, sorry

low dagger
#

Hello! I finished my lake and clean most stuff up, I am thinking of placement and if i should make rivers. any suggestions?

dusk cove
#

What kind of ideas?

#

You should probably make rivers so you can get river fish

#

If you put the river through the moon it’d be moon river lol

near ether
#

@dusk cove Right now I'm trying to make an aesthetic around my current base map....but I think it's just too messy honestly...

low dagger
#

I thought it but i am not sure what's the best point of entry and exit

near ether
#

I'm trying to make an outdoor street fare

dusk cove
#

Maybe right through the middle? Try drawing out different ways tho first

#

Do you have the teacup ride, @near ether that would look good for that

#

Maybe drink machines too

near ether
#

right now I have stalls! Btw did you all level your island and start from scratch

dusk cove
#

Nah

#

That’d be too much work for me

tardy yarrow
#

stalls are a really good way to fill in the gap for islands! and yes i leveled my island

dusk cove
#

I kinda liked where the cliffs were so I just added/deleted some

tardy yarrow
#

Not done with the third level yet tho cause I'm cough lazy

dusk cove
near ether
#

omg that's super close to mine...

#

i have a huge island in the middle and no idea what to do

dusk cove
#

I changed it a lot

wow jenna that’s almost exactly the same as my starti g island!

HAHHAHAHHA

ripe bluff
#

Pfft I see it now

tardy yarrow
#

Can anyone come to my town and give me some advice on what to do with the entrance/town hall area? I'm so lost on how to incorporate the town hall to match my town..

ripe bluff
#

Sure ^^

low dagger
tardy yarrow
#

@low dagger tbh I might just so the rivers seperately to not ruin the aesthetic or the adorable moon

dusk cove
#

That looks great

tardy yarrow
#

Like have them maybe go past or around thmoon but not touching it

ripe bluff
#

Maybe have the river circle around the lake

heady dew
#

Finallyyyy

tardy yarrow
#

good job!!! : D

low dagger
#

i tried to going around them before

#

doesn;t look great

ripe bluff
#

Oof

#

While I’m here

#

My island is a mess lmao

dusk cove
#

It doesn’t look too bad tbh

#

I like the river placement

ripe bluff
#

The river placement is completely natural, I’m not sure if I’m gonna keep it

lavish leaf
#

@low dagger what if the river jumped over the moon? connect the two river mouths via a loop above the moon?

slim jetty
#

Looking to explore a 5 star island! c:

boreal rune
lavish leaf
#

something vaguely like this, depending on how much you wanted to reshape your villager homes/highlands?

sonic lily
#

@boreal rune i love your layout!! and i have the exact same idea for my museum lmao do you have things leading up to it?

boreal rune
#

Yeah mostly ground spotlights and flowers

winter grotto
#

@boreal rune Wow that looks amazing.
Could you send some in game Pics?

robust cedar
#

Could someone let me visit your island with my friend?

#

I'd say try the suspension bridge with the waterfall! Because it curves down and not up, I find them best for being in front of waterfalls

woven drift
#

Okay will do! Thanks

#

damn props to all the people who basically made their islands from scratch. i just used terraforming to accentuate my existing default layout šŸ˜‚

tardy yarrow
#

What fence do you guys think looks best with the terracotta path?

slow dagger
#

@bold vale yea thats a good idea tbh, I think my island looks too unnatural

static karma
#

Oof that's hard. I think the simple wooden fence, country fence, bamboo lattice or lattice

bold vale
#

nothing wrong with ā€œunnaturalā€ i’ve seen so many cool ideas but i’m too lazy to move everything...

I have a kids pplayground with a decent amount of terracotta and I used country cause I thought it would look nice with the kiddy stuff

I'd pay millions of bells just for a nice island design

Why does no one put their villagers houses on the beach?. ;w;

vast crystal

right

#

like no one uses the beach

#

i like the beach tbh

slow dagger
#

wish it was bigger tho

woven drift
#

I'm gonna put at least one villager there, same here.

#

not being able to terraform the beach probably doesn't help either

the only building I would put on the beach is the campsite

that looks sick Jenna! did you have to make the elevation for the cliff and then move the museum on it? 😮

dusk cove
#

The cliff was already there but I terraformed it a little bit

#

What do you guys think is better to match red zen bridges, brick staircases or red steel staircases?

grave token
autumn stone
#

@limpid dock i'd sitckwith the red steel, since the zens are red

dusk cove
#

Hmm from memory I think red steel staircases would look better but I’m not sure

#

@grave token so pretty!

limpid dock
dusk cove
#

Yeah I was looking at it earlier today

#

I think that’d look best

Thank you!

hmm, maybe even a natural ramp

#

I like the log ramp tbh

limpid dock
#

Natural ramps look good with anything tbh

grave token
#

@limpid dock i think it depends on the kind of theme you’re going for in that area you’re putting the ramp ^^

limpid dock
#

Hmm, steel then

barren osprey
#

does anyone have any nice japanese/nature areas they can share... need some inspo

#

i already looked at all the chat for the last 24 hrs

limpid dock
#

Steel almost seems unnatural

slow dagger
#

log or natural would be best imo

sturdy loom
#

i only rly like the natural one tbh.. the options are lackluster imo

Though natural doesn’t mesh well with paths does it

you can imagine it

@slow dagger I have it too, it's horrific.

I wish I didn't pick it.

Thank you someone agrees lol

#

It's freaking trash

dreamy compass
#

What about it?

dim cave
#

I'm stuck with it though. ._. the damn museum is right at the beginning.

slow dagger
#

Tbh, I'm considering just restarting the entire game to get a different island layout but idk

dim cave
#

I meant resident

#

I've committed at this point

slow dagger
#

Idk

dreamy compass
#

Why don't you like that island layout?

slow dagger
#

The resident area is placed horribly

dim cave
#

It's just painful. As soon as you step of the plane it's BAM resident. You can see nothing but it. It's ugly as hell.

slow dagger
#

It's hard to work with

#

@dim cave exactly

dim cave
#

It's heinous. Let me know if you find any good map layouts with it.

slow dagger
#

I may restart the entire game lmfao but idk

#

I'm very far to restart @dim cave

dreamy compass
#

Hmm, interesting. So it's too close to the entrance

dim cave
#

Im extremely far @slow dagger , I refuse to restart.

It's like 3 damn squares away @dreamy compass

@dim cave we should put our brains together and think of how to make it work tbh

Haha

Since it would benefit us both

I can send a pic of how mine looks

Ive just now started with it.

but I dislike it

a lot

#

Why?

#

Hoona, since you've actually starting to execute a plan you made on that website, I'd like to ask, is the grid exactly the same as the game's?

slow dagger
#

I think it's exactly the same

#

But just like off cuz of the scaling

dreamy compass
#

Alr cool

#

Thanks!

dreamy fox
#

Oh, I like this a lot actually! Would have liked to have done that with my museum

I like!! Mine kinda the same but a bit chaotic from the map, I wish I centered my pathway more in the middle like yours

Does anyone have a picture of a suspension bridge over two land pieces? Just cause I can't play rn

It’s meh, after the inclines and patches are added I hope a bit better. I wish I did a city with roads. I need like 2 islands

#

it do be looking wet doe

limpid dock
#

Does anyone have a natural incline with a path next to it? I wanna see how they look next to eachother

dreamy compass
next cypress
#

hmm personally I like putting a bridge close to each river mouth, makes it a lot easier when you're running along your beach fishing/clam collecting/shell collecting/etc

#

you might also want one up on the cliffs so you can get across without having to go all the way down and around or using vault pole

#

if you set up your bridges right you don't need vaulting pole at all

dreamy compass
#

You're right

#

Maybe I should just add 2 or 3 more

next cypress
#

yeah I'd say 3 more, one on each river mouth and one on your cliff area, then you should be good to go

#

I'd move that top one up on the cliffs but yeah looks good

dreamy compass
#

I thought the same thing when I looked at it again haha

#

Thank you, this really helps

harsh plinth
#

Took me about a week to think through this and make it

#

Still haven't decorated it yet aside from the flowers

But I'm glad to finally be done

Not sure what I want to do with the bottom left section yet, it's kinda large and I'm currently not using it for anything except holding excess flowers to sell

#

Thinking about making it into a maze

unborn blade
#

Put my island into planner so you can see where my fences and orchard is, I have been working on the area for the houses but with them being 4x3 instead of 5x4 it threw me off, any ideas?

icy wren
#

Anyone know the dimensions for a pond or river for fish to spawn?

pure horizon
#

(Terraform and path and decoration wise)

median hemlock
#

@icy wren I would also like to know and if there's a terraforming faq with stuff like this. Because I also feel like fewer fish spawn if your river is only three spaces wide but I don't know if that's just me. [Edit: originally I said hq instead of faq]

icy wren
#

I think it's 4x3 might be the smallest possible for fish to spawn in

Maybe add a farm or a bigger flower garden with a few waterfalls and a fountain?

i also don’t know what to put near airport

IMO, two rectangular ponds flanking the path through the cliffs, then decorate those with flowers & trees

woven drift
#

Lol I got a bunch of ideas and then realized that I’d need to move like 10 things to accommodate it

@woven drift That looks great! Maybe you could add a kind of recreational area to just hang out and have fun? It could also double as a park in a way

aw thank you! that’s a good idea!

Does anyone have a natural incline with path right in front of it? I’d like to see how they look next to eachother

@umbral pendant 100%

I'm at the stage of the game where I buy 200,000 turnips and pray

How’s pathway look next to a natural incline?

#

I can’t decide which to use

#

It’ll probably get cut off sort of in front of it. I don’t have a natural incline but this is how it connects

Yeah it cuts off just like what Liz is showing with that incline

(But with natural incline of course)

Any ideas of what to put to the right side of the museum?)-: I need to terraform it but idk what to even put there lol

I guess in the end it won’t matter cause it’ll never match up

You can kinda close it off by putting things on the sides of the incline. It’s not a huge detail imo šŸ˜‚ but I feel that

Not bad

@woven drift that’s a good idea. I haven’t added enough flowers yet(-:

That leaves the question of red steel or natural, since I have all red zen bridges

Yeah turnips are really the way to go. I bought 2 invs full of turnips, found someone with an island buying them for about 600ea, and it netted me nearly 5mil. Enough to do all the house moving and bridge/incline building I needed, plus nearly enough spare to finish all my house payments (only have the last payment left but my house is fully upgraded otherwise)

or reddit.. not sure tbh

strange verge
#

Path across the bottom of your map, just below a river that joins the two horizontally?

#

Kind of an example here.

I got some real buyer's remorse not restarting for a better town hall location though; it's both badly misaligned from the airport, and too goddamn close to do anything with. This was the closest I had to a decent solution

me too

its way too close to the shoreline for me to build around it as a center point

not to mention it is completely off-center and doesnt line up with the airport at all

I'm stealing a layout from a reddit gif, where they packed everything into the back quarter, so you could see most of it in one place. I still have a lot of reservations though, partly because I didnt plan the space out too carefully.

I would say to everyone to not bother to much with resident services. it's very rare to have it centered anyway.

I'm not connecting any paths, I don't like the look of long paths leading to everything anyway so that way resident services not being centered is not an issue

dire orchid

So yeah no more cutesy 1 tile islands for me

@dire orchid Go to a friend or nook island, they teleport when you leave

That island map looks amazing though

That’s my issue rn

I’m sick of what I made, but I want something new but all the work I did would be doen the drain

ivory salmon
#

i only have a tiny receiving area for guests as it's just a lil bit off from my town hall. once they pass the stone entrance at the back, the town hall is directly to their right. i had a different idea in mind but it was too late for me, so maybe in the future i will update my island.

woven drift
#

I can easily earn what I have back but it’s not super easy esp bc I have some rare stuff

#

If I restart a bonus is I could put my island in Southern Hemisphere

that area is enough for crafting tho, and doing some trades, and i could just fence it lol

That’s a very pretty area

if you don't use the tier 3 elevation all that much, you should be able to have enough inclines @wintry junco

i'm using the tier 3 elevation for my house and some wilderness paths

i'll just have to work around it.. haven't technically planted most of the ramps most things are still in planning phase rn

ivory salmon
unborn blade
#

does a level 3 area HAVE to surronded by level 2 areas? I've seen people have water around it

yes, but you can put water right up next to a cliff so they've probably filled the level 2 areas up with water

woven drift

What are the things that we cant move on the map? Airport/Resident Services/Beach/River mouth?

nocturne mulch
#

yes, the pier also, the bit of grass that sticks out on one side of the beach, secret beach, any of the rocks along the outside... but what you listed are the most important things anyway

wintry junco
#

yes

#

it's kinda stupid that there's a pier but you cant terraform around that pier

could say that about everything you can't move really lol... so much design opportunity, and yet

if you wanna visit my island and have a look dm me!

Criteria for stars:

  • Fences (Need around 80)
  • Villagers (More the merrier)
  • Furniture
  • Flowers
  • You auto get one star (I THINK)

if someone is standing on my path I cant get through lol

balmy cave
#

I say play around with them to see what fits a theme you're going with. And check everyday for any new fence recipes

is there a way to change villager's housing/

#

exterior

covert orbit
#

Not exterior nor interior, they have fixed themes and appearances

young kelp
#

is there a list of

#

villagers and their housing?

next cypress
#

nookipedia is working on one

covert orbit
#

There are some compilations of images, but none complete yet.

young kelp
#

ah i'll poke around, thanks!

#

does anyone have a tutorial for making moon crescent ponds? i’m having such a hard time making one look nice

covert orbit
#

The larger it is, the smoother it is.

#

Here's an anti-map-showcase. Someone told me once that bridges can be built over gaps, but apparently that's not the case. RIP my life and my 6 hours terraforming and moving buildings. This is why no one does mountainous islands

next cypress
#

ooof. That's rough

#

Yeah, also the incline limit is a major killer for islands with a lot of height variance

warm spoke
#

they really should make it so you can do bridges like that

next cypress
#

at least if you run out of bridges you can put in stepping stones but there's no alternative to inclines..

covert orbit
#

Can stepping stones work at higher elevation? Seems interesting, since the lower level can still go through the openings

next cypress
#

Believe so yeah

Blue fencing is nice

covert orbit
#

It's very modern

dreamy fox
#

But I keep a blue theme blue incline/blue Bridges/blue fence

#

yes

north fiber
#

It looks pretty clean

next cypress
#

I like the blue fencing

sharp sky
#

zen fencing isn't my favorite

next cypress
#

I don't like the blue bridge as much though for some reason

dreamy fox
#

Wish they were customizable black would have looked sick

#

uh any ideas on what i should put in the dark green area?

#

a whole lot of em

warm spoke
#

with flowers

next cypress
#

the fencing looks bright and cute but the bridge has a more industrial vibe that for some reason I feel like doesn't go with it, even though it's technically the same theme. Like maybe just a plain wood bridge would be nicer

dreamy fox
#

Cafe, tree farm, flower farm, zen garden, amusement park

elfin gate
#

hm

#

hmm okie

warm spoke
#

I have a plain wood bridge slightly out of frame! I will try to see how the fence looks with it ty chainchomp (its in a different themed area)

dreamy fox
#

Idk I disgrace the bridge goes very well with that sort of fence!

#

That looks nice!! šŸ‘

arterius that double waterfall is looking fancy,

daring ember
#

Someone let me visit their island, I need inspiration "."

plucky haven
#

queen nexus

next cypress
#

daring ember
#

Just send me a code anyone hihi

plucky haven
#

Ok

warm spoke
#

dreamy fox
#

Ahh well I think that’s enough space no? I have my home a tiny island HAHA I feel like I have my villagers more space than my own home

queen nexus
#

fading tide
#

Anyone have an area specifically for their shops or a market square type deal? Trying to get a feel for what I wanna do when I move mine

dreamy fox
#

It looks nice eps with the wood against the red house.

#

My museum is right behind. Cool idea for people who have space in the front or sides of their museum

#

Needs those small circle floor lights

warm spoke
#

@fading tide I posted my shops area a few minutes ago just scroll up, mine is all blue fence though

hunterRS you should make some of those sharp corners a little softer to match the curve of the image you are replicating

it depends on what kind of map you wanna go for, more city and urban areas are squarish, nature is more roundish, and maybe u just want ur 1 island to be a series of island
