ACNH tips I’ve collected so far
If you want to harvest wood from trees with your axe but don’t want to get stung by bees, harvest it on coconut trees! Get the wood and then sell the coconuts for extra profit
If you’re shaking normal trees, shake from the front and always have your net equipped.
You can shake a tree more than once to get its resources (I got at least 6 twigs from one tree alone!)
Shake trees on island tours. There should be a furniture in one of them.
Whenever you see a shooting star, press A. Next morning, walk on the beach and collect them.
Don’t sell the weeds you’ve collected. They take a while to grow back.
Keep your sound on if you have trouble fishing or simply to hear balloons. If you’re anxious while fishing, close your eyes and listen to the sounds.
Unlike fruits who take a while to grow back on trees, you can harvest wood from trees and bamboos EVERY DAY.
To get the most out of your rocks, dig 2 holes behind you, and position yourself in front of them (between the holes and the rock), in the middle. Aim for the rock with your shovel and press A like your life depends on it.
In the bugs and fishes app, it tells you if you have already donated an item to the museum!
Check the terminal EVERY DAY for Nookmiles and do at least the 5 first tasks . They add up quickly.
Craft fish food to make fishes spam. You can craft them with small shells you will find hidden in the sand on your beach. To find them, you need to see a small circle in the sand that spills water. Dig there!
If you want to craft or customize items faster, press twice on A. That’s it!
The ladder and the pole don’t break.
Put a crafting table on each part of your town that is isolated by a river (unless you have bridges.) You don’t want to always run back to Tom Nook.
Craft fish food to make fishes spam. You can craft them with small shells you will find hidden in the sand on your beach. To find them, you need to see a small circle in the sand that spills water. Dig there!
If you want to know if you already crafted something: In the crafting app, there’s a little check.
If you want to know if you can customize an item: In the crafting app, there’s a little painting brush.
If you want to know if you HAVE the item that you’re about to craft, there’s an icon that shows if it’s either in your pockets (basket) or your storage (box): but it doesn’t show if it’s displayed somewhere!
Never sell pure ressources. Craft with them. And then sell the items.
LANDSCAPING/UPGRADING YOUR TOWN
Unlike other AC games, I have come to believe that grass does not fade if you run on it. (There are no signs that it does, no random patches of dirt or grass breaking because of buildings. And there’s the option to put grass with construction permit, so RUN as much as you want!)
For the construction permit and getting 3 stars:
Build fences. (Lots of them!)
Plant around 150 flowers (Get them on island tours.)
Plant around 50 trees. (Get other fruits then your native’s on island tours.)
Place around 30 furnitures.
DON’T BUY the design option in paths! (Save around 2000 miles.) It’s the same as using the designs in “My Designs”. They get erased once you press Y. (UNLESS you want to make round corners, for which you need to put at least a transparent dot on the design to make it work, or else they just stay plain rectangle designs!)
Also, some paths in the construction permits don’t allow flowers or weeds to grow on them. But the sand and the dirt do.
If you’re tired to eat one fruit at a time to get its power, you can eat 10 turnips at once! (Time saver.)
If you’ve collected too many eatable event items (like eggs and I assume mushrooms, etc.), you can eat them and use their power like fruits, but I believe it’s better to craft with them and sell the items.
To upgrade Tommy and Timmy’s shop, there’s no need to buy a ton of furniture. Most people agree that they upgrade once you reach a certain number of days played.
Feel free to add more or to correct me if I’m mistaken! Hope this helps! (And sorry for the long post.)
