argh. new villager decided to build his house IN THE MIDDLE OF MY ORCHARD.
FUCK.
i've relocated parts of the orchard to other areas. seriously, though. FUCK.
i can "force" this villager to move, but it may be a villager type i need. a lion, i think. i already have a lion -- bud. if it's another jock lion, he's gone. bud is plenty, thanks.
in other news, chopping down trees w/ a silver ax will get you stumps w/ special designs. these stumps will produce (now and again) special mushrooms throughout the year and not just during november.
eta:
guess who i later caught napping on a stump in my newly re-located orchard? i let her nap. :)
that's what makes stumps worthwhile. the mushrooms are a bonus.
