This is how you build Schnemil the snowman perfectly and find snowballs
The most important prerequisite for Schnemil, the cheerful snowman, is of course winter. As soon as December 11th rolls around and the ground is covered in white, you can start building.
How long is the snow in play?: You can build Snowmil from December 11th to February 24th. So there's enough time to actually collect all the recipes and enough giant snowflakes.
This is how you build a snowman!The process itself is quite simple. First you look for a small ball of ice lying around somewhere on the island. Now you just roll them around with kicks to make them bigger like in real life. If it's bigger, you can roll it with your hands.
Once you've done that, look for a second ball. You also roll it up bigger again, then move it to the first one and put it on top. Simply push it towards ball one and the snowman will stand.
This is how Schnemil becomes perfect!Only a perfect snowman will give you a reward. This means that your balls must have a certain size. The first should reach approximately to the top of your character's ears, the second approximately to the chin.
To melt away: Schnemil stays with you for three days because it melts away a little every day. You can also have three of the ball friends on the island at the same time. If one has melted into water, you roll over again.
Giant snowflakes and what you do with them
Once you have assembled Schnemil, he will reward you with a giant snowflake and craft instructions. You can even build a three-tier snowman.
If you have met all the requirements, you will receive both a recipe and a giant snowflake. For the instructions you will also need other materials, such as normal snowflakes. We'll show you how to get them in a separate article:
