Do you still hit your rocks?

[th8827]

After about 2 months of play, do you still hit the rocks on your island every day?

 

[telluric]

I don't go out of my way to do it.. but sometimes ill be walking and be like. maybe i should hit those rocks. i dont go through the trouble of digging the holes to stop the kickback anymore, i can usually get ~8 out if im careful. What i should really be doing instead is hitting trees to get regular wood!

 

[Romaki]

I should, but I'm too lazy to steadily collect resources.

 

[ThePhantom]

I do because I want to collect gold nuggets. But I haven't gathered wood in weeks haha

 

[Uffe]

Only when I'm in dire need of quick Bells.

 

[meggiewes]

When I feel like it or if I have a x2 or x5 Nook Plus goal for it. I should really start doing it more often to get those sweet, sweet gold nuggets.

 

[Aliya]

Yes I always do. It's pretty much engraved in my head at this point to do as a daily task. The only time I don't is if I'm cycling.

 

[Bioness]

A spent a bunch of time making a rock garden, and I have fully used it like 3 times...

I have enough materials stockpiled that I just have no need anymore.

 

[Fantasyland]

I only really hit the two rocks I have in spots that allow me to get all 8 without digging holes or putting fences. Even then... Frankly, the few times I really need rocks, I'd rather just buy 2 NMT and get what I need out of those islands.

 

[Chris]

Yes, I'm constantly low on iron nuggets.

 

[Pixiebelle]

I find it kinda tedious so unless I'm dire need of materials I don't go out of my way

 

[Sloom]

not a chance. I just buy all the mats I need now.
clearing out like 4-5 inventory slots of the crap I got is too tedious man.

and I hate the money rock. i dont need money lol (not to flex) (yes to flex)

 

[Kaiaa]

Only until I find the money rock

 

[Blueskyy]

Just sometimes. Mostly if I need iron or want to find gold on the island lol

 

[Maiana]

Because I'm starting to run out of materials, I started doing it again lool

 

[Skyfall]

Yes! I hit all of them. I have no idea why it’s so satisfying for me but I’ve done it in all prior games too.

 

[wolfie1]

Yeah, at least until I find the money rock. I used to hit every single one but the gold nugget spawn rate is so low that I don't even bother anymore lol.

 

[LuchaSloth]

I still hit them all...whether it's my own island or a Nook mystery island.

You can never have too many resources. Case in point: My brother randomly told me his hot item was the frying pan today. And, I had a TON of iron saved up. So...I made hundreds of frying pans and sold them to make hundreds of thousands of bells. And then I used all of that profit to buy way too many turnips. Lol.

Even if you don't necessarily need those resources for "normal" crafting...it definitely comes in handy when you have an opportunity like I did today. So, yeah...I save everything. Whether it's a single stone that I fish out of a river, or 5 iron that falls out of a balloon...it all gets stored away. And I always hit my rocks to the full extent possible...whether I've already harvested the money rock or not. ⛏

 

[Hanif1807]

All the time, be it money rock or any other rock. That feeling of anxiety when you know your Shovel is about to break while hitting those rocks...Hmmm

 

[raqball]

I hit rocks and shake trees everyday and I farm wood every other day.. I don't need it so I guess at this point I am hoarding it in storage.. Figure I can always give stacks away to someone or sell to Nooks if my storage starts to fill up...
