Okay how many DIY bottles do y'all get on your island per day?

[Le Ham]

I'm seeing some people insist you're supposed to get two, but having played since launch at all hours of the day for often quite long sessions, I have only ever gotten one. Yes I check the beaches more than once. Meanwhile some online guides say one, others say two. And there are too many people who report only getting one for all of us to somehow have missed a second one. I'm getting conflicting info, what's going on here?

I don't think it's a bug personally, though it doesn't make sense for that to randomly vary between islands as part of the design. Maybe we'll have to start adding this to our island characteristics - "native fruit x, native flower y, blue airport, 2 bottles a day" ...actually here's a question for those of you who've reset, have you seen the number of bottles on your new island be different from your old one? or if you have multiple islands, do you get different numbers of bottles on the different ones?

also ftr I only have one character/profile on my island. Think I've seen some people say it might be bc one per character but others say they come in addition to the first character's bottles

here are some far-fetched ideas I have of what it might be correlated to since nothing else seems to be it

• whether you have a special ACNH switch
• size of friend list
• have more than one profile on your switch, but not in game
• absolutely nothing, completely random like airport color
• when/if you save&quit and open again in a day
• ?????????

I read a youtube comment that suggested a feng shui/luck bonus, but then we have datamined info that says it only affects HHA score so

EDIT: my current hypothesis is the game will give you one extra bottle if you skipped at least 1 day, but for whatever reason they spawn at different times

I have never, ever, ever gotten 2 bottles a day.

 

[Ras]

I’ve gotten 2, but now it’s only ever 1. Mine could have been TT days.

 

[Venn]

I usually get 1 a day, but there's been once or twice where I got two of them. I thought it was a morning/afternoon thing.

 

[marea]

Only one, but i swear i feel like i got two one time.

 

[SmrtLilCookie]

I think the only time I got two bottles in "one day" was when I was time-travelling and forgot to pick up a bottle before moving forward a day. I've gotten extra bottles on mystery island tours before, but even that was relatively uncommon. The only time I've heard people say definitely that they've received multiple bottles is when they have more than one user on the island (but even then the results are mixed).

 

[John Wick]

You only get one.

I play on and off all day, every day, and you get one.. and one only.

Ok so TTing could be a factor, but idk, enough people say they get a morning one and an afternoon one that I doubt it's TTing that does it for them. If you get 2 every day, like, is it like where you can have a max of 6 buried fossils in the ground ever, you can have a max of 2 bottles on the beach not picked up?

Not that I know what happens to message bottles you don't pick up since I've yet to skip a day of playing

Ah, so then it's the people reporting they get 2 that are delusional? Hmmm... idk, gotta hear their take on it first

Not what I said at all.
They might have time traveled, or have a second player.

I'm speaking as a solo player with one character.

 

[nerfeddude]

I believe only once I got two bottles in one day, but I'm not sure how this happened. I didn't time traveled those days or something like that, so, uuhhh, idk, this is weird

 

[Oldcatlady]

I only have one island rep and today i got 2 bottles for the first time since i've started playing. i usually get 1 a day

 

[stitchmaker]

I have 2 islands.
My main player on Island 1 got an extra DIY in the evening after a Nintendo update. It only happened to that profile and hasn't happened again.
The rest of the time it's been one DIY bottle for 2 players on each island.
Lately I noticed mystery islands have more DIY bottles. Early game I got DIY bottles and than they stopped appearing.

On one Switch I have 8 profiles and only have 2 players on that island. There is no time traveling on my switches. I play another game that takes items and lowers levels if you get caught time traveling.

I get one a day and have- a regular switch, about 20-30 people on my friends list, one profile, and one character.

Meanwhile my sister has- a regular switch, one person on her friends list (me lol), two profiles (one of them is my profile I used once for something but since signed out), and one character and a few times said she's gotten two bottles (one in the morning and one in the evening). She said that only happened in March and hasn't happened since. She also said she could have just forgotten to pick up the daily bottle the previous day, and the next day gotten two.

 

[Corrie]

I've only gotten 1! If we can get 2, that would rock!

 

[nyx~]

I think if u miss it one day then the next day you get two. Some days I forget and then I find one in the morning and afternoon the next day.

Thanks for the info! So then that's the next factor I need to consider, if not playing every single day has to do with it. That would tie back in to the theory of a max of 2 bottles can sit untouched on your beach the fact 2 would spawn at different times (I guess so it's not at once?) is interesting

Don't think I have ever gotten 2 bottles in one day on my island shores.

 

[Amilee]

sometimes i get only 1 but if i picked it up and then play for a while (like a few hours) i get a second one
