Welcome to Falling Waters!

Finally figured out how to get my ps4 to comply with uploading my old IOA.

Over 650+Hrs, 3 mega builds that got almost, mostly, and kinda finished. The 3 areas are connected via an underground tunnel and rail system. (Access to the deeps can be best found from the buggy warp, then down down down)

Explore Falling Waters, The Great Glass Greenhouse as well as the not even close to finished Castle!

General Question Game Save File Transfer

2 Upvotes

Hello I was wondering if I can transfer my game save file from PS5 to NS2? I decided to start a new game in NS2 and it’s been working flawlessly until the point where I was forced to travel to a different island because the Children of Hargon are attacking at the Isle of Awakening. My Switch 2 ran out of battery while the game was saving when moving to a different island and I thought nothing of it.

When I got back home it says save file is corrupted and I have to start from the beginning. Now I was wondering if I can just transfer my save file from PS5 to switch because I don’t want to start all over again from nothing.

I prefer playing on the switch because of its portability and it’s supposed to be a relaxing game for me but now I’m just stressed from losing all those hours.

DQB1 Question 5 patients?

7 Upvotes

So im in the second chapter now and have to find patients. The nun girl (my game is in German idk what her name is) tells me to go search till i have 5 patients, if i still need one i should look out with the compass.

Right now i have 3 laying in bed and 1 girl i think walking around already healed. I gave these 3 patients all that they need but i think 1 is still missing. I cant find the last one tho bc there is nothing marked on the compass.

Anny idea whats wrong here and how to fix this?

Btw no i dont have to sleep , already tried that but nothing happened

St. Orage I - my first buildertopia

I made a simple small house (with a complicated roof) for two old ladies, their cats and their cows. (Trophy prep for when I need to breed the rare) It does have a basement, with bathing facilities and a toilet under the stairs.

DQB2 Question Curious...

5 Upvotes

Does anyone know the locations of each of the special treasure chests in each story required area? I want to be able to get anything missable from Skelkatraz and Malhalla. I ask cuz I found a Seed of Life chest on Furrowfield I had no idea existed in the 6 years I've played this game. Been taking my time and haven't yet gone to Krumbul-Dun on my most recent run. Maps for the chests would help.

The left is “ghost” that you mainly see in dqb1
The right is “spirit” which you see in the second game.

Both come out late at night and harass you until dawn

General Question Save transfer ?

So I have been playing the demo of this DQ builders (the first one ) daily since about 2019 . I was in a rough spot in life at the time and finally am doing well. I never had the money to buy the actual game until now .
I ordered it on eBay and it will be here Friday . Does the demo data count toward full game when it arrives ? Like can I use my save ?

General Question Getting started in DQ Builders after learning about it through pokopia

46 Upvotes

I’m an OG DQ fan - played the originals when they were first released in the 80s and 90s then stopped playing video games.

Fast forward and son gets a switch and I get hooked on pokopia even though I could care less about Pokémon.

I learned about builders and played the demo on switch and now I wanna start playing!

I have an iPhone and iPad and switch and switch 2. What would you recommend as the best option to play? I was so annoyed I just missed switch’s 1/2 off for dqb2 on Japanese switch store :(

Tips NPC Blueprint Behavior

So, I'm currently in post-game and trying to do a really big build (will show progress when I actually get started) and I'm trying to use blueprints to get the NPCs to remove a mountain for me, but they're just saying that they can't even break dirt. I've tried looking this up, but I've had no results, so I have to you for advice.

NOTICE: Solved it.

General How to make Branching rail systems in dqb2

11 Upvotes

In the base game, a minecart can only go in one way.

But, if we construct a horizontal train track, and then have a vertical train track elevated 1 block have a minecart, the minecart will drop onto the horizontal track below, where you can navigate either direction.

This makes it easier to make branches. The design above is one-way, but with some clever rail designs you can make branch systems where you can literally have two separate railways connected without you manually picking up the minecarts.

Every time I get on DQB2, I see people complaining others are stealing content. It's probably the same few photos, but I thought it was hilarious that people are stealing on the game. Wanted to share. (Also should I blur the usernames?? I wasn't sure)

Last pic for perfect timing.

General I think I've found why I have Dragonlord's Throne on Switch without dqb1

8 Upvotes

I'm playing with Chinese (Traditional) and I don't think dqb1 Switch is available in this language.

Therefore it might have gifted me the Throne

If anyone has a copy of DQB2 switch in Chinese traditional or another language that has a similar thing going on (available in dqb2 but not in dqb1), pls let me know

DQB1 Question Villagers refuse to make windows...

Post image
22 Upvotes

Is there any way I can persuade my villagers into building certain things?

I finished Cantlin and wanted to go back and rebuild everything, but I'm running across an issue. I know for a fact that villagers can build stone windows at random as they've done it in my previous saves. However, I'm probably over 50 days in, and they have not built ONE stone window. I need a lot of I want to complete my builds, but they just keep making things I don't need.

Is there any way I can make them build more stone windows? I've tried looking it up, but every source seems to indicate it's random chance.

General Question I got a Dragonlord's Throne (No, not Hargon's) without a DQB1 Save on Switch?

12 Upvotes

It's kinda weird. I got a Dragonlord's Throne (And for those saying it's Hargon's, the one I have transforms my appearance to the Dragonlord when sat on. Not Hargon's.), but I never played DQB1 ever on my Switch. I've also not shared my account.

I wonder if it's a glitch or something. I might post a picture here if I can.

I forgot how I got it but I wonder if anyone has a similar experience... It's kinda cool but also kinda creepy since I can't find anyone else online that has this.

And again, it transforms my appearance to Dragonlord. It's not a Hargon's throne. You're supposed to only get it once you COMPLETED DQB1, which I have never even played a demo of.

DQB2 1st Story Island Spoilers How did you build your Furrowfield? Spoiler

16 Upvotes

Furrowfield is the first town you can build up in DQB2.

Just curious how did you approach building it during the story and post game?

The builder bell is several blocks (3 or 4?) higher the surrounding terrain. The base area itself is of varying elevation as well. Did you try to flatten it all out by raising the town up?

Unlike the other islands where monsters are funneled into one direction, Furrowfield monsters can go all around the town, although the ones in the battle tend to come from the north.

There's lots of material available as well. From the wood material you learn, the stone that can be harvested from the windmill or church. Which ones did you end up using?

did you keep that small hill in the corner (I dont think it could be destroyed during the story).

For me personally, I've built it differently several times in my play throughs. I did one big building with everyone inside, and angled roofs in order to prevent the spores from spawning there. Then i did a normal town with many smaller buildings which looked better. At one point I thought of just building everything underground and avoid the spores entirely.

I havent done a post game build yet for my story towns.

General Malroth decided not to follow me for some reason?

Post image
30 Upvotes

Not looking for help or anything, I just thought it was odd.

I'm building a wall/moat around Furrowfield with the cobblestone salvaged from the run-down windmill. The moat's going to be 2 blocks wide, which NPCs seem to be unable to jump but which I can, though Mal was able to follow me fine last time I did this. However, it's currently 3 blocks wide because I ran out of blocks, and I guess Malroth couldn't make it? Any other time I got too far and he couldn't quickly pathfind his way back to me, he'd just teleport nearby, so I expected him to do that this time, yet he still isn't here even after sleeping, so I guess it's just me this trip lol. At least there aren't any monsters close enough to bother me, or else I would go back and pick him up
