    Regarding the gyroid fragment islands, you can actually get the fragments on every island that Kapp'n takes you to. I've been to all of the regular islands and a few of the seasonal ones, and I've found gyroids on all of them. Sometimes you need to hunt for them, or there may be more than one star on the ground which if there are, just dig up all the stars that you find.

I'd since seen the fall leaf island, the "coelachanth" island and today, the young bamboo island.

I started this new island in October and I still got a snowflake island recently, even though I have not played past 2/24.

I’ve started in late January, so I suppose this makes sense.

    Thanks so much for talking about this, because I finally figured out what the hell happened to my island, and how I got a Maple leaf island, when I didn't start the game until December of last year. I didn't realize time travel had an effect on it, and had forgotten I technically time travelled when I first played. My game started me in the spring or summer season, even I'm in the Northern Hemisphere. I noticed then, that the date and time on the Switch were incorrect. So when I fixed it, I technically time travelled past certain seasons, including fall. That makes so much sense now 😅

I understand it’s all RNG but I’ve had great success in the vine island department. I’ve landed almost all the new vegetables in island form. I’ve landed a money rock island once. No star piece island yet but I have a ton of star pieces so landing on one would be a cool novelty for me.

    Kind of! Certain islands have a chance of spawning money trees instead of fruit and hardwood trees, though I'm not sure what the probability of this happening is!

Like maple leaves, snowflakes, or cherry blossom leaves will start falling. Or for star island it will turn to night off you’re playing during the day.

For those who soft reset, you can go to Kapp’N’s island right after the game autosaves and turn it off and try again if it’s not the one you want (as long as it doesn’t auto save while you’re on Kapp’N’s island). I’ve gotten the vine/moss island once this way! For gyroids, if you time travel you can get unlimited ones by going to a rainy or snowy day on your island and tt’ing forward and back a day.
