To do this, I arrange the flowers so that no two yellow flowers of the same type touch. I do not want any more yellow flowers, but I do want them in my town. Maximize the chance desirable breeding occurs by isolating flowers you do not want to breed. I most often find red and pink lilies, occasionally white, and rarely black lilies. I go for a controlled natural/wild look in my arrangements.
You can arrange your flowers to your liking while encouraging hybrids at the same time. * Breed "Special" basic-colored flowers on a beach where no wildflowers spawn to prevent confusion with Ordinary Basic-color flowers.Īrranging Flowers to Maximize Hybrids and Minimize Undesired Cross-Breeding Water a wilted Black Rose (you'll need the Beautiful Town Ordinance inactive for it to wilt) with a Golden watering can and wait til the next day. Some colors require using hybrids (from Basic Hybrids section above) to breed more hybrids! HYBRID Note that the chances for each flower varies.Īdvanced Flower Breeding: Two-step Hybrids, Hybrid Parents Since there is space nearby, a blue violet can appear if you're lucky. To ensure you don't get unwanted combinations, such as purple violet + purple violet for yet another purple violet, arrange flowers you want to breed so that only they touch, as shown above. This way, if selected for cross-breeding, only a purple and white willīe paired up to maximize your chance at a blue violet. In the appropriate cases, it is also possible to breed Black flowers using Orange flowers instead of Red, but it seems to me the chances are slimmer because the Orange flower counts as half Yellow. For flowers that require two levels of breeding or special conditions, see the Advanced Hybrids section below. This is a list of hybrids using BASIC flowers. The exact percent increase is not currently proven or available. Planting a Jacob's Ladder increases the chance two flowers chosen to breed will produce a hybrid, instead of a basic flower. Spaces directly next to buildings or public work projects are guaranteed to be safeįrom being crushed by villager houses. The most straight-forward use of the fence Public Work Project.įlowers can crossbreed in the fence, BUT only if there is space for a new flower to pop up adjacent. Note that the red and gold flowers on the top left would not be safe if I did not have another project to the left (not shown).
I placed a stone tablet at the corner of a cliff to create a safe spot. This public works project creates spaces where villagers cannot settle - therefore safe for flowers!
Using Public Work Projects to Make Safe SpotsĪrmed with the 5x5 spaces knowledge, you can place Public Work Projects (PWP) to create a space smaller than that. I was wrong, and Rizzo crushed a few black and orange hybrids when he moved in! I made the mistake of thinking the space between the town hall and the cliffs was small enough that a villager would not move here because I thought they needed an extra space for the cliffs. They will make sure to be one additional spot away from buildings so there will be two total spaces between their house and another building.Ī villager's house only needs one space between a cliff and itself, and two spaces betweenĪnother building and itself. This wasn't a safe spot for my hybrids.They will not make extra room for cliffs, rivers, ramps or bridges, leaving you just one space to squeeze by.Villagers will settle in any spot 5 spaces across and 5 square spaces back.
