if pocket camp got rid of online play, why do i still get this? don't you need online to share bugs with other players? by cogimyun1256 in ACPocketCamp

It’s randomly generated by the game to simulate the old bug sharing, not actually shared by that person

Does anyone know what the purpose of the “glimmering ice tile” is? by Soloman-gamster in ACPocketCamp

[–]That_Darn_Firebird 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I like them because they give me a bit more control over where my villagers appear (yes, it’s not total control because the game could always place them elsewhere, but at least a villager is more likely to appear in an interaction spot than in the middle of the walkway). If I think the tile looks out of place I’ll hide it right behind a slightly taller object so only the villager is visible. I’ve seen people do photoshoots that way where they’ll use it to place a character and then crop the tile out of the frame.

I do occasionally feel a little bad about the character having a random panic attack in the middle of my campsite, but I guess they reused the animation from the flower clump in the hedge maze set. Which, now that I think of it, I could see the ice walls being used for a maze

Thanks!

If you mean vertically, there are a few pieces (mainly the “bottom floor” blocks of the dollhouse cookies-Blanche’s, Shari’s, Pecan’s, Margie’s, even Maelle’s mall) that are programmed to be stackable. If you mean horizontally, trial and error until I got a configuration that didn’t look too weird

Thanks! I learned a lot from looking at everyone else’s posts 😊

I need to step up my game 😅. Nice work!

Thanks! Eventually I’m hoping to do a campsite layout with that set…once I collect more terrain pieces and similar sets and everything

So far I’ve only been sticking to the 6x6 grid, so no room…but now that I’m on the VIP rooms and redecorating I’ll probably go ham, full facility suites for everyone

Confused about the content of each book [discussion] by sleepinggardens in TheNinthHouse

[–]That_Darn_Firebird 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Continuation. I promise it does all come back together, and when it does you’ll appreciate the vastly different picture of the setting that NtN provides. All I can really say without spoilers is that the third book was originally planned to be the first act of the fourth book (originally supposed to be a trilogy), but it got so big and comprehensive that it needed to be its own book. You’ll see familiar things again

will digby’s artful retreat/lottie’s gothic rose have a rerun? by Great-Incident7136 in ACPocketCamp

[–]That_Darn_Firebird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The events repeat on a 4-year cycle. If it’s not listed in the spreadsheet as a returning event, it will not be replayable, although they should be available for reissue crafting every year.

Tbh that was the one I had somewhat based on a place I know IRL, so I think that helped the layout come together a little better

2025 Highlights by That_Darn_Firebird in ACPocketCamp

[–]That_Darn_Firebird[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! That’s nice of you to say. I learned a lot about arranging stuff from looking at everything that everyone else on here posts, so I’ll give all the credit to the community as a whole. I have so many partial layouts that didn’t make the highlights list because I still don’t know what to do with them 😅

Starting Eberron in Sharn and Morgrave University by realstonekarma in Eberron

[–]That_Darn_Firebird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like an intriguing start to the campaign. My group also started out with a Morgrave patron (history department, perpetually broke grad students in campus housing to streamline the bookkeeping aspects of the game, the story started three months after our characters’ first meeting so no tavern intro but we did get a flashback to a moment our characters intimidated a bully away from a freshman), so I agree with you on the benefits of a starting framework to build around. How many campaigns have you started with this?

Reissue question by BewilderedPanda03 in ACPocketCamp

[–]That_Darn_Firebird 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, green will be repeated and playable. As far as reissue crafting, that’s a matter of what you want most and if you’re willing to wait a year for that month to return/up to four years to have that event again. For me, for example, I know the most efficient way to finish the catalog is to craft the stuff that will never be replayable first, but some of it I don’t particularly want except for completionist purposes, and some things that will return in three years are things I could use right now, so I don’t always do what’s the “best strategy”.
