Alternative to Mannequins

Mannequins aren't visually highly-seasoned, even if they are on your island for a curt fourth dimension. Another great way to encompass an area is with flowers.

  • Higher up, you can meet a large flower field. Rocks volition not spawn here because every part of the basis has either a flower or a path on it.
  • Rocks can spawn directly next to a flower though, so make certain that there are no gaps between flowers.
  • If you have a path going through your field, be certain that information technology is a stone or brick material. Rocks will not spawn on this path type, but they can spawn on sand and dirt.

After rock-proofing your isle, you need to destroy some rocks.

  • To destroy a stone, you lot just need to accept at least one stamina. You can have up to ten stamina, the icon volition be displayed on your screen after you've eaten a piece of fruit or a repast.
  • After yous've fed yourself, take hold of your shovel and smash that rock. One time it'south gone, replace it with a mannequin so no other rocks will spawn in that spot.
  • If you want to get your stamina down to zero after y'all've done all of this, yous just have to sit on the toilet.

Rocks will spawn one at a time, meaning that if you destroy all half dozen at once, yous will still just become 1 a day. Considering of this, you should only destroy one or two until yous are confident that they will spawn in your garden. If the first rock immediately spawns in the garden, so y'all can become rid of all of them. If you destroy a rock and information technology spawns outside of the garden, destroy the stone and supervene upon it with a new mannequin.

With the add-on of Katrina to the game, it's now possible to eat one piece of fruit and blast more than one rock, or the verbal opposite, you tin can eat more fruit and non be able to break equally many rocks, depending on which fortune you receive that day. If you lot visit Katrina you lot can take a adept luck solar day or a bad luck day. Getting told it's a expert luck day is great if you're planning to blast all your rocks because you won't have to consume as much fruit to practise information technology.

So be sure to experiment with making hearty meals if you're planning on starting your rock garden and have a day of heavy lifting alee.
