#1: Your island is randomly generated at the start of your adventure. You can delete your file and get new ones starting fruit and a different island layout, but you can change your island later! Give yourself time.
# 2: Each island begins with a Natural fruit. These are the fruits that naturally grow on your island. You can collect fruit and sell it - but fruits of other islands sell for more bells! When you visit other islands, collect their fruits and plant them on your island.

# 3: Interact with trees to shake fruit for free - you can endlessly interact with each tree to collect up to five branches. Trees will drop fruit (when ripe), branches, bell bags, bedbugs or wasp hives.
# 4: Build whatever you can at the DIY workbench. This is totally new to the series - now you can create, which means you have to plant a lot more trees! Plant trees by plant fruit, wait 3 days and cut down those trees. You will need a lot of wood in the future!

# 9: Make it Easy Nook Miles and Early Cash in the game by collecting every weed or branch all over the island. You'll still need bells (in cash), so sell as many as you can or use DIY to craft basic items that you can sell even more.
#ten: Every day new things appear on your island. Every day you can collect 2 fossils (cracked ground), 1 random piece of furniture (shake a tree at random), and all the rocks on the island can fall up to 8 pieces of ore.
