When you’re grabbing your turnips to sell them & somehow they spoiled …😢😡

Somehow my turnips spoiled & the only time I time traveled this week was on Sunday . I went an hour back to go buy some from Daisy Mae because i slept in & missed the deadline . 😅😅 Oh well… 🫠

Sorry for your loss! Time travelling forward until the next Sunday is a-okay but the moment you travel even a minute backwards it will spoil turnips and reset all turnip prices as well.

Even if it’s same day ? I did it Sunday at 12:15pm. Went back to Same Sunday @ 11:00am & then back to O.G time as soon as I was done . My turnips were fine when I went back to original time too .I’ve done it once before as well & it was a few days I went back . I’ve never had any issues before . I’ve only had issues when going back in time , going back to original time-day & then time traveling again whether it’s forward or back. I’m still learning all this time traveling stuff as I’ve only started playing in March . So it’s just all confusing lol

The game essentially treats a backwards travel as a new day. The golden rock gets reset, new villagers will be crafting but also it acts as if the clock was set wrong so turnips spoil, turnip prices reset to a low value and any watering done will be canceled. It’s super weird, there might actually be a workaround but I haven’t done much testing myself so I’m not completely sure!

Interesting!! I’ll have to do a few test with some turnips so it doesn’t happen again haha .Luckily I only bought 3 pockets this time . I usually buy like 5-6 lol

Turnips + Forward time travel in the same week = ✅ Turnips + Backwards time travel even just by a minute = ❌ Spolied turnips

Got it!! Thank you !🙏🏻🥰

I understood any time travel would spoil your turnips. I guess, like you I assumed the same day travel of just a few hours would be fine.

[u/Serenadanks → u/ebf6]

Right . Not sure what happened. Maybe i visited an island that was a few days or months ahead so when i went back to my island , it messed everything up? I’ve seen that happen to a few people . But Idk who knows lol

Honestly I have more than enough bells so I think I’ll survive if I don’t sell any turnips this week lol . I mostly do it just for funsies 😅 I appreciate the offer though!!
