I think I just got to summer. =] But, can't you just plant it like normal crops.

[Kozunai]

I don't know. I have a Yellow Wonderful attached to my Hoe, but when I Hoe the field, it doesn't look like anything's happened...

[Toaster Boy]

That is perplexing. Why don't you look it up then?

[Kozunai]

I don't know where to look it up... UNoT's Rice Paddy page isn't up yet...

[Toaster Boy]

Try somewhere else? This is the INTERBLAG.

[Kozunai]

No where I look does it say how to do it...

[Toaster Boy]

Once you have access to the Paddy, you need to set a Yellow Wonderful into your Hoe in order to till the Paddy and plant the Rice.

Thats what I found. Why not try again?

[Kozunai]

Thats the thing... I have the yellow wonderful attached to my hoe when I try... the only thing I can think of is that you need a yellow wonderful on your hoe and your hammer...

[Toaster Boy]

I would just try to play, even if you can't do that. I need to play soon.

[Kozunai]

Well, I'm hooked on Tales of the Abyss right now...

[Miss Kid]

I just got the game today. So far the farmings fun but the tortorials get annoying.

[Toaster Boy]

DONT GROW CROPS. Seriously, they are annoying to grow outside because the weather is unpredictable.

Well that's just fine and dandy if someone wants to complete their shipping list. Just saying.

[Toaster Boy]

Well, yeah, but I barely grew those turnips. =[ I suggest saving them for a greenhouse.

Kozunai, with the yellow wonderful in your hoe, charge it up (glowing orb flash as you hold onto the button where your hoe is equip) then hit a spot in the rice paddy. It should show up. I had trouble with that, too, and had to figure it out on my own. When reaping your rice, you have to charge your sickle (with a yellow wonderful inside) to slash and hack it. The rice is only ready when it's brown! (Trust me, I didn't know that and just kept ruining my crops.)

Check when you're planting the rice, too. I planted mine in early Summer and they didn't make it even until the end of Fall, so they died. I lost money on that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) Early Spring is a good time to start. or if you're a bit late, try late Spring too, I guess. Make sure you have a thresher for your rice when you have those grains. After a whole year's waiting on the rice and finally being able to reap the fruits of my labor, I was at a loss on how to make it into cook-able rice. I then had to build a Supply Shed, upgrade it, and find 20 adamantite to get a thresher.

Believe me, this rice paddy gave me heck 'cause I was so confused, but I needed to figure it out because Vaughn really really realllly likes porridge. @_@;

Uhm, if you talk to Taro, he tells you the next day's weather, so the weather isn't completely unpredictable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[Toaster Boy]

Naah, thats not what I meant. I meant when your crops are outside, you're at the mercy of the weather. =[ Which I find stupid.

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

Dude, today someone at my Fall Harvest Festival was from "Hill Valley." That's awesome.

[Toaster Boy]

Lol, that is awsome.

Residents: 61
Development: 65%

You're doing VERY well.
How are you getting the island to develop so quickly?

[Toaster Boy]

You have to build bridges and roads and such for more people to move in, and make your town develop. Hes also in the 2nd year I believe.
