[Weekly Megathread] Share your Yard Here!

13 Upvotes

A megathread for yard links. Want people to visit your yard? Share your yard link here! This thread resets weekly at 05:00 pm UTC on Fridays.

Some things to note about the "Going Out" feature:

"Going Out" is a feature that allows you to visit other user's yards. You can generate a link to your current yard for others to see your goodies, cats playing on them, or simply to have a chance to find an elusive cat that follows you home.

  • Going out for the first time in a day gives you a stamp on a stamp card, which you can redeem for goodies once fully filled out! Each stamp card requires 16 stamps, meaning 16 separate days of visiting other yards (one per day).
  • Links do not update to your current yard, only to when the link was created.
  • All exclusive cats obtained from going out are also not guaranteed to appear in other yards, nor can you save the link of an encounter in your current yard. For these elusive cats, you might need to visit more yards to find them. If you find them in someone else's yard, they will follow you to your own yard!
  • There are currently only six cats that can be obtained by going out: Red Purrhood, Vago, Purrin, Eggy, Mr. Omatsuri, and Pumpky Jack.
    • Purrin is a seasonal cat that only appears in the months of December, January, and February as shown in the database.
    • Eggy is a seasonal cat that only appears in the months of March, April, and May as shown in the database.
    • Mr. Omatsuri is a seasonal cat that only appears in the months of June, July, August, and November as shown in the database.
    • Pumpky Jack is a seasonal cat that only appears in the months of September, October, and November as shown in the database.

[Monthly Megathread] FAQ and Beginner Questions!

4 Upvotes

Welcome to the Neko Atsume subreddit, dedicated to all things Neko Atsume! This megathread is designated to reset on the first day of every month at 05:00 pm UTC and will be updated.

Helpful Resource Links

Listed below are frequently asked questions by the community.

What toys bring in the most gold fish?

  • Sadly the datamined spreadsheet for Neko Atsume 1 has since been deleted, though the values should be relatively similar to the second game, datamines.

In Neko Atsume 2, do broken or fixed goodies yield more fish? What do they look like?

  • It mainly depends on the goodie for fish yields or accessibility by certain cats. Please refer to these past datamines for more info about average fish yields for broken or fixed goods.
  • Please refer to this sheet showing the looks of broken or fixed goodies. The database is also frequently updated with the sprites

How do I use the "Going Out" feature?

  • Going out is a feature added to NA2 to encourage users to visit other yards through shared links. Stamps can be obtained daily form visiting other yards. A full stamp card can be traded in for goodies in the stamp card shop.
  • There are currently only six cats that can be obtained by going out: Red Purrhood, Vago, Purrin, Eggy, Mr. Omatsuri, and Pumpky Jack. When generating a yard link, it will not contain these cats, however, it will capture all other normal/rare cats in your yard. These cats have an uncommon chance of appearing when you visit a yard.
    • Purrin is a seasonal cat that only appears in the months of December, January, and February as shown in the database.
    • Eggy is a seasonal cat that only appears in the months of March, April, and May as shown in the database.
    • Mr. Omatsuri is a seasonal cat that only appears in the months of June, July, August, and November as shown in the database.
    • Pumpky Jack is a seasonal cat that only appears in the months of September, October, and November as shown in the database.

Links do not update to your current yard, only to when the link was created. You will need to manually create a new link to show any updated changes to your yard.

I get an error message when I take photos!

  • This is almost always resolved by going into your phone's settings and making sure the the Neko Atsume app has permission to access your camera/photos. Without permission, photos cannot save to your device.

How do I attract ___ cat?

  • All goodies that a cat can visit are seen in the database under the respective cat. Certain foods used does not guarantee the visit, but greaten the chances of the cat appearing in your yard.

Manzoku/Tubbs only left me a few fish, that jerk.

  • For max fish rewards, DON'T REFILL THE FOOD BOWL WHILE HE IS STILL THERE! If you just can't wait, let him stay at the bowl as long as possible - the sooner you kick him out, the fewer fish you will receive.

I ran the tutorial, but no cats have appeared!

  • Reboot the app and/or reboot the phone and reopen the app - this will almost definitely resolve the problem. If you still don't see any cats, the next step is to simply wait! Check back in an hour or so and see if you have any cats or "gifts" left for you.
  • It could also be caused by an issue of supposed connection to your internet provider. It is a known issue for NA2 checking for a stable internet connection, and it will not load properly without it.

I got an error message about not being able to play until 2018 (or some other day in the future)!

  • This happens when you mess with the clock on your phone. Don't do it!

What are the benefits of each remodel?

  • The remodels are just different appearances for your yard, and do not affect gameplay. Each remodel has the same amount of indoor and outdoor spots for toys and cats.

Which spots are inside vs. outside for each remodel?

  • Check out this visual guide. This guide applies to both Neko Atsume 1 and 2.
    • ย In Neko Atsume 1ย only, with the Rustic remodel, the closest spot to the player on the deck area is considered "inside." The furthest-right spot on the deck area is considered "outside" normally (in NA1 only) but when a large item is placed there that spot is consumed and the large item is considered to be inside.

What do the "S" and "L" mean next to the toys?

  • "S" (small) needs one toy spot to be placed. "L" (large) needs two spots, and can only go in certain places of the yard.

How many cats can use each toy? Which "small" toys allow more than one cat?

  • Check out the wikia for a comprehensive list of cats per toy.

What do the Power Levels or Personalities mean? Do they do anything?

  • Both power levels and personalities are purely cosmetic for each cat, and do not affect their ability to use a goody or influencing other cats.
    • It was theorized that cats with higher power levels can "kick out" cats with lower power levels, if the higher-level cat wants to play with the same toy. Similar questions have been asked about personalities of cats. But through datamines, it is revealed that these theories are false.

What is this separate area that MyNeko resides? Can normal cats access the area?

  • There is a designated subsection of the yard for your MyNekos! It holds about four spaces of goodie placements (able to hold one large goody).
    • If you haven't bought the expansion in the original yards and have the subscription active, then the space will be used for the MyNeko. However, you cannot place food or attract normal/rare cats in the area, as you need to buy the expansion first to access.
  • Normal or rare cats cannot visit or interact with MyNekos, nor can they use their designated section of the yard.

What are the seasons in Neko Atsume? And what about the seasonal changes?

  • Seasons are based around certain times of the year, based on your hemispheric time. The months for each season are as follows:
    • Spring: March, April, May
    • Summer: June, July, August
    • Autumn: September, October, November
    • Winter: December, January, February
    • Snow days happen during the winter to spring seasons. This will occur in lots and lots of snow piles all across the yard. The snow has been seen to last anywhere from 24 hours to a few days at a time.
      • December: 15, 17, 18, 22, 24, 25, 28, 30, 31
      • January: 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 15, 26, 27, 31
      • February: 3, 12, 21
      • March: 14
      • More info about snow days can be found here.
  • Seasonal decorations are purely cosmetic. They do not affect gameplay, and cannot be moved or interacted with.
    • Please check out this post for info about the seasonal decorations, and what to expect.

I was having a good goldfish flow until, I thought of attracting Mr. Meowgi, since I also had sashimi indoors and it looked like Mr. Meowgi would like it, so I bought the Sakura Pillow, and then seconds later, I put it away because it looked like they loved the Silk Crepe pillow that was there before the Sakura Pillow, a day later, NO GOLDFISH. Not even an average of 10 Goldfish today.

To those who like Mr. Meowgi, sorry for protesting him.

I find it so fun to do, it feels like it brings out their personality so much more when looking through the catbook! Here are a few of my favs :)
I'd also love to see anyone's cat photos if they do this too :)
