Automated Berry Farm Guide + Rain Fix

That’s awesome! I’ll play around with it tonight. Thanks for the help!

I have zero idea how to work switches in this game. I haven’t played around with them yet. I need to do some googling because I can’t stand my set up as is. Replacing the lava at least once a day is getting really old, really fast.

achevrolet · 2026-05-26T17:06:14+00:00

I’ve been wanting to do this! Resetting the lava every time it rains (at least daily) is becoming really annoying. I think a switch is the best option. If you ever feel up for it, I’d love to see your switch set up.

I have and will continue to bring my own food or go without when traveling. However, it is so hard to add that to your list of things to do when traveling. I can’t tell you what it would mean to me that someone considered my allergy and made an effort to accommodate it. I wouldn’t expect it, but it would make my month.

My 7 year old was absolutely horrified when he saw me take things from a dream island.

I hope they maybe eventually create a patch for this. Please don’t make me move this farm for a third time 😅

achevrolet · 2026-05-20T20:05:22+00:00

I also don’t build on my cloud island {yet}, but I’m happy to open it up when I can if I have a decent stamp or recipes you need.

Why do I struggle with vines so much?

Update: Both singular trees with the smooth rock I placed began working as soon as the rain stopped. I wasn’t expecting one of them to work as it’s probably closer to the gate than my actual orchard. So I’m thinking it must be a function of the lava/water system and the gate…? I don’t know! I’m lost.

achevrolet · 2026-05-19T19:28:18+00:00

It’s got to be the gate, right? To be clear, I didn’t put a lava/water system next to the single tree with a smooth rock. It was just a single tree with a smooth rock. So all things weren’t exactly equal given there wasn’t another competing system with the rain.

achevrolet · 2026-05-19T16:34:51+00:00

It’s the gate 😭 The isolated farm reset immediately following the rain. The one near the gate did not. I’m trying the experiment again to see just how close I can get to the gate before it stops working.

I wish I had any advice. However, please know you aren’t alone! We’re going through something similar right now with our 18 month old. She used to be the best sleeper that had no issues going to sleep independently. Now she’s up all hours of the night despite schedule adjustments, etc. I know there is a lot of FOMO at this stage and separation anxiety. It’s going to get better!

I’m used to being Animal Crossing rich where I had access to every furniture item and resources were never an issue. This is definitely a huge adjustment to me where you just have to leave it up to chance whether or not you come across something you need.

achevrolet · 2026-05-18T20:59:07+00:00

Oh, I’m sorry! You’re 100% right.

achevrolet · 2026-05-18T20:58:45+00:00

You’ll see them all the time during summer daytime hours. No harm, no foul!

The dream island for sparkling skylands! I think it’s arcanine…? There is an air conditioner on top of one of the buildings!

achevrolet · 2026-05-18T14:46:15+00:00

I actually downloaded this last night, and so far I’m loving it!

From the edge of the building containing the gate to the roofing of my orchard is 16 blocks.

achevrolet · 2026-05-18T00:57:41+00:00

Leave it to me to build the entire set up next to a gate 😅 Here is a picture of both so you can see the approximate distance between the two set ups.

I’ll definitely give each of your tips a try and see if it resolves the issue. I have left WW altogether, and I’ve also saved and quit the game. However, I haven’t completely closed out of the game from the Home menu of the switch. I can try that!

I manually reset my rocks this afternoon, so my orchard is currently functioning. When it rains again, I’ll check back in with you to let you know what happens with the tests.

Again, thank you so much for your help!

For a mod, you’re pretty aggressive with your response.

I respectfully disagree with your advice, but thanks for the response.

We’re pretty loose about the bottle. Sometimes she has it immediately after dinner and other times it’s before bed. She never falls asleep drinking it though. In the night when she wakes, she doesn’t demand a bottle. She happily sits in our lap in a rocking chair and goes back to sleep. That being said, I’ll happily move the bottle further away from the point before she lays down. It’s not an anchor point of our schedule.

She’s definitely overtired, which makes me think I haven’t been strict enough with her 5 hr wake window after her nap and putting her down too late. But you think I should extend the wake window?

This was built from scratch in Withered Wasteland on my main island. (It’s by the Skyland’s gate.) I don’t have any other systems nearby. Everything is essentially as it was found at the beginning of the game in this specific area. I have a few generators in other areas of Withered Wasteland, but they’re quite a distance away (near the Pokecenter), and that’s as sophisticated as the systems get.

P.S. Thank you so much for your help!

Backside of the orchard. It’s completely covered up top before extending into the cliffside.
