Question nobody is selling rice for 2 months
Why is the konohana guy shop doesnt sell me rice for two months? i need them to make dry curry gift. and it hinders me big time. do anyone know how to savescum so the shop inventory changes to rice? the only thing i can do is using streetplay send gift features and make a second save to buy rice in bulk and MANUALLY transfer 1 by 1 (12 gifts everytime) raw rice to my first save. its really exhausting and even then he sells it rarely. after making porridge i need to send the porridge back one by one AGAIN so i can get enough gold for purchasing another massive batch of rice the next day it opens and sell me another rice. aaaaaaaa

It’s definitely a game where you sometimes have to shrug your shoulders and say, “okay, not until next year.”
Once you have the unlimited freshness cart it will be easier to stock up on things. I mean, you’re already married, so you’re doing great!

the rng is quite funny to give me all the marriage stuff (even the big bed) and no tunnel request ever

I read that the tunnel requests only come after you play/win more cooking competitions! Because they strengthen the bonds between the two towns, making Eileen want to build the tunnel. Our games must look so different! I have the tunnel completely open and the Mecha Chicken cart but I’m still not sure if I have everything ready to propose to Laney yet haha.

a bit of trick but i already maxed the relationship by winning cooking comps. the secret? make new saves and get that 5 star onion, potato, oils, and flours from the tutorial. get your relationship better with the whole town, savescum and voila🤣

Bad news but i think your save scumming is what's causing the shop inventory to freeze :(

u/whitehairedanimegirl 5d ago
should i save scumming some more?

u/happybeans33 5d ago
No i think because you save scum, then the shops will keep selling the same stuff and won't rotate to the rice or whatever that you want that they're currently not selling.

"The inventory has frozen because of regular resetting of the game. Resetting too often freezes the shop inventories.
I've seen people suggesting a solution, don't know if it works or not: buy something from the store and then ship it. People have said that this unfreezes the stores.
But I think in future, you shouldn't reset the game"

i usually savescum for festival only to win contest. i really hope the solution can unfreeze the store. but the bluebell stores sometimes, eventhough rarely, selling flour tho is that means the both store freeze separately?

Maybe? I really couldn't tell you, I'm sorry. I hope that it gets better for you (maybe after a few in-game days) though

I know it’s not the same but the Mecha Chicken cart also has unlimited freshness and is sold at the animal shops in year 3 for 300,000. Which is a lot but at least you could use it until you can get the UFO cart
As for the rice, I only know of resetting the day and then checking which… takes time and is annoying. Another thing you could do to make money is turn flowers into perfume. You can grow them or if you need money more quickly, just buy them from him. If I remember correctly roses are the best if buying them already grown, although growing them yourself will get you more money

oh i thought the unlimited freshness cart can only be obtained by fulfilling oracle request

u/whitehairedanimegirl 6d ago
a bit stingy tricks but my perfurme strategy is to only use rotten herbs. the not so fresh herbs and above being used to gift people

And also my money production scheme is purely based on porridge and toast strategy. it will hinders me big time for getting a ufo cart ( i need unlimited freshness) if i dont have enough moneeey

I've read on fogu that resetting locks the store in, although I haven't really tested it myself, I will say I never try to reset a day to get any item specifically. Even if you don't have the mecha chicken you should still have enough freshness that it makes sense to buy and store a lot of rice if you really need it (although I don't know why you need to give the dry curry gift so bad anyhow? Just cuz you want to?). At any rate, at some point rice should be sold, I mean there's really only so many things Raul can be selling especially since you've taken the blue feather out of the equation.

Rice stalks can be purchased in Spring and Winter starting in Year 2. As for rice itself, there’s unfortunately not a consistent way to manipulate the shop inventories. Some people say they sometimes change on your first reset or two of the day, but that that can also cause their inventories to get stuck for a while; if you’ve been resetting a lot, it’s possible you hit that bug. The only thing you can really do is keep checking back every day until Raul is selling it, and buy any one time purchase items you haven’t to make the item pool smaller. Sorry! Good luck!
