It's getting my nerves about how the fruit tree works!!!!

[hellotiansheng]

In general, I was expecting a fruit tree to drop 3 fruits at max happiness (3 leaves) for every 72 hours or a fruit bush to drop 3 fruits at max happiness for every 36 hours. BUT then one day I noticed my total harvested fruit via Accordion is not a multiply of 3!!!

Therefore I tried the following:

1) Check if the fruit tree from Fox can always drop 3 fruits at max happiness.
- The answer is no, I found there are some defective trees that only drop 2 or 1 fruit instead of 3 at max happiness.

2) Check if an Accordion can change the quality of a fruit tree.
- Yes it looks that way, After using Accordion to one of my "drop 3" tree, that tree ended up only dropping 2 fruits, and then the next manual harvest dropped 2 again...I didn't bother to wait another 4 days so that was the end of my test... no idea if the Accordion is rewriting the stats of a tree permanently each time or something else, but this is not good.

3) Check if a tree or a bush can change colour / grow up.
I waited 2 months and can confirm the tree won't grow up nor change colour/shape (brown/white colour) in the length of 2 months. no idea if it will change over a year, but I doubt it.

It's very frustrating as I placed all the trees in order (by fruit colour /tree colour /fruit type /tree size), but now there are defective trees mixed inside :(

I think you are focusing on min/maxing too much and not fully enjoying the game :) but aside from that, do you have the furniture and decorations matching according to each tree/bush? Remember they only like certain types some might like rustic some might like cozy or spooky etc

I only placed fruit trees next to each other (and a few lights which are classed "natural") for maximum productivity...

But yea, I spent far too much time on things I shouldn't !!!

I have no idea if there's an issue with the number of fruit. I just have them all placed supper close in a bunch and pick the mass of fruits up after dropping them with the accordion.

You could be right but they only planned to update this if there were a huge issue and this would be considered minor. So you'll have to try and ignore it.

They are working on CG2, which unfortunately will be launching a netflix gaming exclusive(so mobile only). Hopefully it comes to steam eventually once the exclusive deal is over.

Thanks for your reply. Yea I agree there won't by any fixes... and I spent a whole hour to convince myself it's no big deal (I wasn't joking, I actually sold all the trees that gives less fruits when I first find out the issue)...

Regards to CG2, I doubt there will be much improvement in the game mechanics. It will the same game but different map/ items and etc.... however it would nice if there is a function allows you travel between CG1 and CG2 or having some underwater map...I guess I wanted too much.

I would be annoyed too if I were just starting out and noticed I wasn't getting the right amounts. It could be worse though. I out right lost trees before due to a glitch where it let me pick up trees with a full inventory, so they just went poof as I was pickign them up to redecorate, but I believe that was fixed before they quit updating.

Yeah I'd have rather CG2 be a DLC island we could go to all in one game. Which would have been a better way to do DLC than what they did do. It's a shame to have a boat and never use it besides one cut scene after fixing, 2 if you count the intro.

The bits I've seen seem like CG2 will be new map and ghosts, with dogs instead of cats. I'm unsure what they are doing that couldn't be done with dlc but that was the reason given for making a new one instead. "to give players what they are asking for we need to make a new game"(paraphrased) Only thing I can think of that fits is people who asked for the ability to visit friends island or play with others and I don't remember hearing anything on that but I've not been that tuned in either.

If it ever makes it to pc I'd still get it since I have enjoyed the story progression but I agree keeping it all one game would have been more user enjoyable.

Please take my sorry for that inventory bug, that must be a right pain at the time.

Personally, I prefer cat much more than dog in real life, but with a bit of hope and common sense, dogs might get along with each other inside the tent, and maybe they can collect some resources for you each day??.... (I just can't imagine what a rainbow dog looks like in this game)

PS: Visit a friend's island and steal their resources would be a nice feature, but that sounds a lot like an old facebook game called Farmville...I rather not go over that game again (after getting complained for sending too many requests ).

[TamanduaGirl]

Thank you.

The dogs look like Pomeranians.

Well it's not a rainbow dog, but that's the basic form.

It would be nice if they are useful or at the minimum follow you around. It's kind of sad the cats just sit inside the tent. I have no reason to go in there except to check on them.

I think if they did do visiting it would be more like Animal Crossing and Dinkum where interaction with anything is limited/prohibited unless you give them permissions. People want to show off their island designs to friends. I've not heard news they actually will do that. It would fit the "need to make a new game to implement" excuse but it's more likely they just thought a new game would make more sales than DLC would.

[hellotiansheng]

Oh dear, what a dog lol. I still prefer cats, even cats run away from people.

I never played Animal Crossing nor Dinkum, but looks like CG2 is my chance.

Shame to hear CG2 will be mobile-only... That's very disappointing :( I had no idea

Yes. I don't have netflix and don't plan to get it. So it sucks.

Hopefully neflix sees eventually they'll actually make more if they release it to other platforms. So maybe if we're lucky we would see a steam release a year post main release but for now it's exclusive and no announcement for anything else.
