Tommy, in the game, will eventually ask for your help in building a general store on the island. This usually happens once you have your house built on the island; after that simply head to the Resident Services.

Once you talk to Tommy and Timmy Nook, they will ask you for help in gathering the different resources, which are as follows:

  • 30 Wood
  • 30 Hard Wood
  • 30 Soft Wood
  • 30 Iron

Gathering the Resources
Wood can be gathered from, you guessed it, trees. Grab an axe and start chopping ‘em up. For iron, use an axe or shovel to get the iron you need.

If you happen to run out of resources to gather on your island, just go travel to a different one using the airport; alternatively, you can just wait for a day, and allow the resources to refresh.
