- Back to Nature Glitchless 98% FAQ
- Note: This FAQ is mainly intended for people to learn more about the run rather than to answer any specific questions. If you have any, feel free to ask in the chat.
- Q: How long is this run?
- A: 16-18 hours.
- Q: What version are you playing?
- A: I use the HM: Boy & Girl port of Back to Nature played on a Playstation TV.
- Q: What are the requirements for 98%?
- A:
- -10 Power Berries [1% per Berry ]
- -10 Hearts with your Dog [1% per Heart ]
- -10 Hearts with your Horse [1% per Heart ]
- -10 Hearts with your Wife [1% per Heart ]
- -10 Hearts with your Child [1% per Heart ]
- -All 5 Extensions [2% per Extension]
- -All 64 Recipes [1% per 8 Recipes]
- Q: Why 98% and not 100%?
- A: You get 1% per 8 Recipes, and there's only 64 Recipes in the game. This is just a developer error.
- Q: Why do you only have 88% at the end of the run?
- A: Due to another developer error, the 10 Power Berries don't actually add to the percentage counter. They were intended to, so you're still required to get them in the run.
- Q: What glitches does this run avoid?
- A: The Item Duplication and Animal Exchange glitches.
- Q: How does the Item Duplication glitch work?
- A: If you open your item menu on the frame it turns from 5:50 AM to 6:00 AM, you will be able to walk around with your item menu open. This allows you to put an item in your hands, throw it in the shipping bin, then move it back into your inventory before it gets removed. This lets you ship the same item and infinite amount of times, which would save ~2.5 hours in growing 100 of each crop.
- Q: How does the Animal Exchange glitch work?
- A: When you exchange animals, only the file you are NOT playing on gets saved. Meaning, you can send a cow from file "A" to file "B", load file "A" without saving, and both files will have the cow.
- Q: Is the Animal Exchange glitch cheating?
- A: No, the game is working as intended. This is probably the most-asked question for all runners, yet it's hardly considered a glitch.
- Q: If they're not considered cheating, why don't you use them?
- A: The Item Duplication is ~2.5 hours faster than just using the Animal Exchange, but it turns the run into 40%-50% downtime, so it's just not interesting. I don't use the Animal Exchange because constantly hearing people complain about it being a cheat, for 2-3 years, got old.
- Q: Why are you befriending bachelorettes you don't plan on marrying?
- A: You need 2 Chocolate for recipes, and the only way to get Chocolate is by having a girl between 10k - 20k affection on Winter 14th. They'll come to your farm and give it to you, but only if you're not married (and they're at the right affection level). I use Elli and Popuri for this, since their birthdays are placed well-enough to get their affection to 10k-20k faster.
- Q: Who do you marry?
- A: Maria. This is because her birthday is on Winter 22nd, which gives you plenty of time to store 40 of her Loved Gifts which you can use to spam her affection to a Red Heart.
- Q: Can you explain how spamming their affection works?
- A: On their birthdays, they get +2,500 for the first "Loved" gift you give them, if it's wrapped. For every wrapped-loved gift after that, they get +1,500. On a normal day, the first loved gift is worth +800, and every loved gift after is worth +300. They need 60k affection for a Red Heart, so you can see why this is faster.
