oh this is an unbelievably fucked up thing to have on a gameboy color game that i have to play on an emulator
so the wiki doesn't say this but unless you go into a secret menu found by pressing the "select" button twice in a row and go to the option vaguely named "timer" where you will be prompted to ask the harvest sprites for help and say "yes"
your tools
will never upgrade
no matter how many hours or even days you wait
I found a different wiki and
im going to have a panic attack WHAT.
ITS GOING TO ADVANCE TIME WITHOUT ME PLAYING? IN A GAME WITH A STRICT DEADLINE THAT HAS SPECIFIC AND TIME CONSUMING REQUIREMENTS??????? AND DOING THIS IS MANDATORY??!?
