woven drift
New entrance...
@versed wadi KILLING THE FOREST LOOK. LOVE IT!!

flat lily
woah.. thats a great way to handle the southern rivers!!
tribal sluice
@tribal sluice you just have to make weird boxy diagonal paths to it
@modern ember that really sucks, I wish they could bend easier and match up correctly
bold river
does anyone have any tips on how to place a player house and a bridge? (since the bridges are even numbers wide but player houses are odd numbers wide)
iron raft
Hey does anyone wanna come to my island and give me pointers
sudden spear
My two south rivers aren't so problematic anymore thanks to this waterfall pyramid :)
@heavy badge that looks so amazing!
versed depot
Either intentionally offset the bridge, or do two bridges.
frosty bloom
@heavy badge who needs a mystery island tour?Not this guy.
bold mirage
@bold river Either try to ignore it or add a fenced in yard with an off-center entrance.
Like purposely off center, maybe add a big table or something to give a reason for it to be off center
west parrot
hey @humble rain can i visit your island? your map looks insane!

crisp fern
frosty bloom
Haha I named my villager after a very handsome male model XD
iron heart
@versed wadi can I touch trade ur clothing ?
west parrot
this is my map ^_^
flat lily
@crisp fern If you're asking in general, try #690093605821480980 or #mysterybags-and-yardsales , but if you see someone's island here you like specifically, it's alright to ask here. but just for general asking, please try the other channels! :) Thanks!
versed wadi
@iron heart my switch just died and Iāve no charger. Hit me up again tomorrow and sure!
iron heart
Sounds good. Thank you! @versed wadi
versed wadi
@flat lily thanks. @scenic blaze sent me a tweet that very much served as inspiration. Two secs Iāll dig it out.
fierce mulch
Does this look good or would you guys switch up something with the fences?
versed wadi
polar dagger
@fierce mulch use stone fences
scenic blaze
i love how we both took inspo from that tweet and ended up with very different entrances!
heavy badge
@heavy badge are those banana trees??
@sly minnow coconut trees.....

if anyone has really good ideas/ tips and tricks for island decorating please dm meee
versed wadi
@scenic blaze show me yours again.
flat lily
ooo i love that! Thanks for sharing! Def will be using that as inspo for my natural area! @versed wadi !
scenic blaze
true obsidian
should i mix 3 themes onto my island
for example; mushroom, sakura, and urban ish themes
limber moss
Can anyone give me unique island layouts I can semi-copy? Or just island layouts to give me an idea of what I wanna do.
autumn shell
anyone have any ideas for laying out flowers? i want a lot but i donāt want it too crazy.
polar dagger
Dies anybody have ideas for things to make, I have a huge blank spot on my island
woven drift
if anyone has really good ideas/ tips and tricks for island decorating please dm meee:)
golden isle
Thoughts?
versed wadi
You can clearly see the influence though. Thatās why Iām so into this game, thereās so much opportunity for variation
@polar dagger Nature trails are a lot of fun to build
woven drift
is anyone willing to tour my island and give me some ideas with my empty space?
limber moss
I know, I just donāt know where to start. And itās gonna take foooorever.
oblique nexus
polar dagger
@versed wadi it's in my residential area so it'd be weird to have houses and a nature trail
deep pelican
Thatās getting me inspired for my natural island. Loving the waterfalls
limber moss
And I have an embarrassing reason on why I canāt time travel so either way, itās gonna take forever.
scenic blaze
i think having houses around nature trails is really nice!
deep pelican
^
flat lily
nature trails are difficult sometimes... making something seem "natural" that isn't natural lol.. but yall are able to pull it off so well
versed wadi
@polar dagger ahh right, could you make a village square.
woven drift
i donāt know what to put in front of my cafe thereās too much space>.<
polar dagger
@woven drift make a boardwalk
flat lily
park maybe? or a little square with a fountain? shopping area w stalls?
scenic blaze
that's a lot of great space for a market or something š
versed wadi
@scenic blaze Iāve had to force myself to stop moving everyone out into the woods. Lol
woven drift
@polar dagger what is a board walk?
scenic blaze
@versed wadi i just visited lulu for the first time and she makes me want to rip out my residential area
versed wadi
@scenic blaze I literally flattened half my island today after hanging out on Lulus for half an hour.
scenic blaze
looooool
versed wadi
Inspired me to up my game though
scenic blaze
i'm like i'll give her some purple mums as a thank you! i never use purple! and then half her island is purple and suddenly i need to use it too
polar dagger
@woven drift use shop stalls, vending machines, arcade machines, and put it all on wood path then line it with whatever fence that you want and have it lead to the beach. So basically a very cool hallway
woven drift
my cafe flooring is wood:/
polar dagger
@woven drift then make the boardwalk an extension to your cafe
limber moss
Can someone come round to my island and help me out? Iām honestly lack of inspiration and I want a great island
woven drift
i hate the entrance
slow dagger
It could use improvement, yes
@ivory geyser That's an amazing business idea I'd proudly support
ivory geyser
Thank u!!
golden isle
Somebody pls give me thoughts on this layout
heavy saffron
made a little garden plaza area šŗ
sly minnow
Got this part of my zen area flowing down into a sauna pool
zenith ravine
where should i put nooks cranny
sly minnow
i personally put my shops in the middle of the island
zenith ravine
ok should i put them in the middle and when i can move my house i can put my house also in the middle
slender bough
Can I visit someoneās island. I have artist block now š¦
ember kestrel
I was going to record a video of my island progress for you guys but it's never quite ready lol... I'll try to do it tomorrow
scenic blaze
aww do it anyway!
slender bough
ok!
tired verge
@slender bough you can come visit mine 
. I have a few acres un-terraformed cuz i'm breeding flowers but the rest is more or less complete in terms of terraforming and general decorating
versed wadi
@ember kestrel can an island ever be truly finished?
slender bough
Aw nice thank you!
scenic blaze
right lol
tired verge
lemme grab a dodo code rq
slender bough
I was breeding flowers too and have to rearrange everything now
old marten
Does anyone know how many spaces are inclines/stairs?

Guys take a close look at this map, and tell me what you notice 
patent sky
Very elevated
scenic blaze
just found this neat guide for us forest map people https://twitter.com/riiteru16/status/1253884469213192192
patent sky
I've actually never seen an all second tier map
calm oasis
it wouldve taken forever to build up all of that cliff
barren gale
@patent sky That's the main part
sharp onyx
How do you get massive stumps like that
versed wadi
Wait what! You can do stump size variations.
scenic blaze
the massive stumps are full grown trees, and then each one next to it is a day younger
opal cloak
patent sky
Oh pffft I read the map wrong
sharp onyx
Ahhh Okk
fringe vessel
nice cafe!
versed wadi
Well thatās an hour of refactoring right there!
barren gale
I think it took me like a week to get all of the cliffs down
scenic blaze
lmao what have i done
patent sky
Oh my ._.
barren gale
But if you haven't noticed
leaden olive
Seeing all of your islands clogs my brain with so many ideas :/
barren gale
There's also Main Street, the plaza, train station
ember kestrel
@ember kestrel can an island ever be truly finished?
@versed wadi according to those yt videos... pretty much š«
barren gale
I'm doing a New Leaf style town
leaden olive
I'm doing a town theme town
versed wadi
@ember kestrel I reckon 9/10 have since remodelled
opal cloak
Thanks
hazy dome
is anyone free to come give me advice on flower placements
patent sky
@scenic blaze what have you done ._.
Well if I ever get bored..... I know what I'll do haha
scenic blaze
lmao i'm bulk buying trees as we speak
barren gale
@leaden olive That seems to be a common one
versed wadi
Can you move a stump?
scenic blaze
i wonder if the little ones still have a terraform limit of a space around them
no :/
versed wadi
Maybe with some sort of secret shovel?
scenic blaze
if you find the secret shovel lmk
leaden olive
I wish you could put bridges over not water
finite cargo
same spaghetti
barren gale
a bridge in mid-air seems legit enough for Animal Crossing
versed wadi
Up until a couple of minutes ago i didnāt know you could have different stump sizes. There could be all sorts of stuff Iām in the dark on!
fringe vessel
can you put a bridge from one cliff to another without a river in the middle?
versed wadi
@fringe vessel if only... so many problems would be solved!
raw tendon
How do you guys normally start designing your islands, do you terraform everything first, do it but by bit, etc? Iām having a hard time just starting because it seems so daunting lol
scenic blaze
i don't know how anyone does it by terraforming everything first
people DO but i don't know how
i started bit by bit. one idea at a time
raw tendon
I know it sounds scary
marble plover
How do you make custom paths show up on your map? Do you really have to put normal paths under them first?q_q;
opal cloak
Y 1 idea at a time
scenic blaze
less overwhelming and you can really focus on one thing and make it great first
raw tendon
I may start from my town center or find a spot for my house first
leaden olive
@raw tendon u do mine bit by bit from right to left
rich heath
For me i just started from the entrance and I made it better every time
versed wadi
Then work on adjacent areas to your first one. Eventually youāll have a whole island done, and then youāll have gotten better. And then you start back at the beginning... rinse and repeat
fierce silo
Does anyone want to come over and critique or give me pointers on my island? š
opal cloak
I just wanted to organise my trees ended up making a village 1 cafe ton of waterfalls garden etc xD
versed wadi
My park is the next area on the chopping block.
rich heath
Are there any ideas I can find for the museum exterior?
versed wadi
Iāll keep some elements, but try and get it all in line with the woodland theme Iām keen on following through with now.
wary saffron
Matching colors change everything
cedar lichen
what did y'all do with your trees hngg i need ideas
long wasp
Double rainbow is the best
wary saffron
Yes! 
finite cargo
woah there are rainbows???
rich heath
Apperently so
teal mortar
Yeah after rain
scenic blaze
i built a forest a few days ago and didn't love it. waited for the trees to grow and still didn't love it. had a lightbulb moment today and now i'm having a great time building this forest
rich heath
What was your idea today?
spring bison
Start of my playground
versed wadi
@scenic blaze anything to share?
scenic blaze
i don't like straight line paths in natural areas, so i made my forest have winding, curved pathways. but my lightbulb moment was that forests IRL have winding pathways to navigate around obstacles. so i started terraforming cliffs into obstacles
meager warren
anyone got any ideas on how I can decorate this?
scenic blaze
i might add a creek too but the water tool is my natural born enemy
finite cargo
yo one of my trees had to be on my pathway, and it bothered me until I came to the conclusion that nature isn't perfect so its ok
amber turret
Hello! Sorry if this isnt the chat room to be asking this in but I watched a video on youtube a few days ago of someone doing a tour of a 5 star island. The person had these infinite waterfalls...(I'm not sure what to call them) Is anyone willing to explain how to make these? Or can anyone maybe link me to a tutorial on how to do it? Thank you!!
Here's the link to the video I saw.
https://youtu.be/Sv4nCZKkMME
zenith ravine
anyone that started with the island with the circle in the middle, could u possibly put your layout that you did for it, so i can get some ideas.
finite cargo
@zenith ravine
zenith ravine
thanks i needed inspiration
finite cargo
of course! I knew right away my house was gonna go in the center
versed wadi
Anyone seen any good transition from forests to beach? Thatās the one thing Iām struggling to get my head round.
sharp stump
ORCHARD- paths between trees and set of trees- do you guys do LIGHT or DARK dirt path?
long wasp
Dark path because it would be wet
finite cargo
dark
scenic blaze
i haven't seen a forest-to-beach transition in-game yet that's really inspired me but i'm thinking about using some real-world inspo for it with oregon beaches
bold mirage
I think Iām going to have light paths around them but make the actual tree areas with dark paths
subtle idol
was really mad half my resident's houses were at front but now i made this waterfall and all is forgiven.
scenic blaze
so basically i'm thinking CLIFFS
bold mirage
Those be some amazing pictures though

Thanks!
versed wadi
@scenic blaze legend, thanks
subtle idol
Im gonna work on a Cafe area similar to that.
primal ginkgo
I have my cafe idea planned just need to order a bunch of items for it
versed wadi
Cliffs is what I was thinking too. But.. I might just try and solve the transition from wild wood to manicured parkland that has private beaches attached. That gets me around 50% of my beaches
@subtle idol upper part is most fun
woven drift
2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 roads
and should i use actual roads or arched tile paths
subtle idol
Except yours truly has no bells at all and cant move my resident's houses
finite cargo
@subtle idol if you have nmt you can easily sell them for 200k bells each in #materials-and-tools

@wary saffron you did an amazing job at making that entrance even tho the RS placement is sorta close + off to the side

@wary saffron how do you make circles of land? I've been trying to figure that out - that may be a loaded question so feel free to not answer lol

Nice pathing so far

You need more water though
subtle idol
I really need bells... LOTS of them... :(
woven drift
should I get 4x4 roads (streets) or just use the 2x2 arched tile path š¤
slow dagger
@swift sonnet sell nook mile tickets in #materials-and-tools for quick bells (like 200k bells per ticket) or do turnip selling
wary saffron
If someone wanna take a closer look, u r free for an invite!
swift sonnet
ooo nice idea thanks
vestal crown
MORE water? I felt like it was taking over
thorn vortex
ideas on making a lake with a dock? i was thinking of using a wooden bridge and cutting off the land but there's a 1 block radius around each end that cant be waterscaped; sticking to structures, a ramp can be cut off directly at the top but im not sure how that would look
prime wasp
does anyone have white roses in their nook's that would allow me to come by? :))

@amber turret 1. Build up a cliff in a square

ashen quarry
@untold valve Which part?
woven drift
are you guys using custom roads or reg roads
copper quiver
if I get rid of the horizontal river bit, it'll look terrible because of that terminal bit
just wish I thought of this part of the game when choosing where to set my tent

Once

@sacred siren the one with the campsite?
sacred siren
Yes
copper quiver
suppose I should start taking the turnip game seriously, eh? but I feel like such a wanker trying to pay attention to it. it's like this separate game that I don't really care about in this middle of this peaceful town game I like.
thick tendon
For one on that peninsula a little fishing area with a fishing rod placed to look like someone's fishing. I see people do those all the time on the beach so one on a lake would be different and need imo

sacred siren
I can imagine that the statue is that exact one when I make my squidward room

sacred siren
Which will take the place of my living room

@barren swift you can break up an alternate pairings of paths for a more rustic look
barren swift
ooooo i like that
quartz cave
does anyone have an island where their resident services is really close to the airport? its a bit off centered to the right
reef jetty
How much spacing should be in between each villager house to leave room for decoration and fencing to look really good?
bronze grove
Hey guys I had a question, what is a better spacing between houses, 2 or 3??
versed wadi
@quartz cave mine is 11 squares from the airport

Like 6 spaces

I canāt fit that in
sacred siren
Do 3
bronze grove
Ok

Ok thx

Thanks š
sacred siren
Yep
soft yew
mine is pretty close to the airport
quartz cave
@versed wadi idk how much mine is exactly but how did u create your entrance?
sacred siren
If you need to you can do two but 3 is best if youāre making it all compact
quartz cave
the fact that its close and off centered is killing me lol
versed wadi
And 2 squared off centre
noble tiger
Just hit rocks for the first time after setting this up. Sooo satisfying
slow dagger
@quartz cave like the entrance and the service building is off center?
pearl warren
@quartz cave best way to solve it is to not make a direct path
instead make like a wrap around or something
slow dagger
Exactly
quartz cave
yeah entrance and resident services arent centered
slow dagger
@pearl warren recommended what I would say @quartz cave don't make a direct path to the services building then, make something like
soft yew
i think having stuff like shops you made around the plaza helps, doesnt make it as awkward
slow dagger
The entrance area of that ^ @quartz cave
versed wadi
@quartz cave you can see a walk from the airport to my RS on the video in this tweet https://twitter.com/alex_mcgibbon/status/1254184117630955520?s=21

this is kind of what i was thinking of for my island. i would like some ideas and feedback.

Oh god no that's not mine @quartz cave
quartz cave
oh LOL

It being off centre was upsetting me so I just hid it behind a cliff lol

This is sadly like the prettiest part of my island

@zenith ravine the idea of having the shops in the middle of a circular river is super cute
sacred siren
Also maybe this
scenic blaze
my resident services is not aligned with airport and six tiles from the beach, this is my map as of tonight:

I wasted two stairs bc my resident services was only off by two tiles

@pearl palm thanks, do you also think having the museum there also with my house is cute
slow dagger
Get this lol, mine was off-center aswell @versed wadi @quartz cave so I just restarted my entire 125 hour game file and now I'm actually very much happier cuz this is my layout (much more developed now tho
spring skiff
But I made an up and down with waterfalls blocking the view

@spring skiff i think thats how mine is!!!

What should I build here? This is right next to the entrance btw

When you are water terraforming, how does it decide between a river or pond for fishing?
ornate compass
I'd like to know how you decorated the neighborhood. Could you post a picture of the neighborhood near the residents' houses?
thick tendon
I cleared out some trees this evening, looking for some inspiration. Show off some of the areas you've built that aren't cafes/restaurants
silver sail
hey everyone, i doubt this will work but maybe someone will know what i'm talking about. a few days ago/last week, someone on reddit posted an island tour that made really good use of those blue iron fences. does anyone know what post i'm referring to? i can't find it anymore

I'm decorating near Ruby's house. There's a lake near her house, so I don't know how to decorate it.

Or twitter if my brain would get in gear
rancid goblet
Hey everyone, does anyone know of any tour videos or pics of an island with this same starting layout that have then changed it with terraforming? Need ideas.
worthy nimbus
Anyone else considering removing their whole orchard since it takes up too much room?
jagged warren
Yeah I removed mine last week. I was never plucking fruit so it was just a large space filler
teal mortar
@worthy nimbus you don't need too many if u harvest every day unless u need it for money
jagged warren
I've seen a few done well tho in smaller spaces
teal mortar
Just keep a few per fruit and design it in a way that looks good
patent sky
@worthy nimbus I completely demolished mine, the whole island is the orchard
