For all of its improvements, one of the biggest gripes that players have with Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the lack of an option to craft items in bulk. Most will have probably experienced this painful limitation when crafting fish bait – and one such fan has resorted to desperate measures to address the problem.

As you’ll see below, this particular player opted to 3D print their own robot to press the ‘A’ button for them – hence automating the crafting process altogether! It’s certainly a roundabout way of getting around the issue…but at least it’s an entertaining one to watch in action:

What do you think? Would you make your own auto-crafting robot like this out of desperation? Are you praying that Nintendo will push out a patch to add bulk-crafting to the game one day? Feel free to share your thoughts below!
