Daily tip time! (MINOR SPOILERS)

Find yourself running out of food, or wish to spend less money on food? Or perhaps you're trying to feed the plush, and want to be cost efficient in doing so? Consider befriending your friendly neighborhood Aririals! Once they move into their treehouse, try leaving them shrimp once a day, and they will bestow upon you lovely gifts, like daily shrimp, a box of cookies, or even feed you in your sleep with cups of (what I would assume is) blue pudding, that can also restore a bit of your sleep.

info dump on rep system for those who want to know, all learned from experience

You need 20 shrimp packs (300 points) to bring your reputation from 0 (neutral reputation) to 100 (maximum reputation).  It takes double the amount (40 shrimp packs; 600 points) to bring your reputation from -100 (minimum reputation) to 100.  Your reputation with the Aririals starts at 0 and the earliest you can give them shrimp is day 8 during the picnic event (not recommended due to your financial problems this early on).  They'll also stop pranking you when you have a good reputation with them and provide all of the benefits above.

Thanks for your contribution to help others. :)

Is there a reason for them to be hostile towards the player in the first encounter? I've tried to leave them something at the picnic, but only got smacked with a few plastic cups in the face with popup "-2" twice. They didn't even let me get close, just became agressive. Not only that, but 2 nights after that this popup repeats itself even though i just sit in my base every night, not doing anything. Is there a gameplay reason? Are they stupid, perhaps?

The best time to max your Ariral rep is actually at the day 8 picnic.  Any edible item, including organic garbage and spoiled food, gives +2 rep at this time. Cheapest way to max rep is to just leave 50 cookies.  Or more if you want to steal something of theirs from the picnic. (I usually grab the toy warp arrows since this is the only time you can get them) so I leave like 70 cookies to be safe.. Only 70 points to buy. vs shrimp which still only give 2 rep at this time but cost 15 points each.  It's a bit reversed at the treehouse. Shrimp will give +5 rep, while any other edible will only give +0.5.

Hi, can you give me advice on where I should leave the shrimps for them? Should I bring them to their tree house?
Thank you so much for what you are doing!

Hey, I really appreciate that! To answer your question, you can simply leave the shrimp at the treehouse. I usually leave them up by where they put their beds, but I am not sure if it matters where you put them. If you need confirmation, you can turn on an experimental setting called "Aririal Rep Debug Popup" that will let you know when you influence their friendship.

Oh, ok, just recently watched a video with tips that said to leave shrimps near the door of base, but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet

Btw, I'd like to ask a question about the door to the room that turns on the lights in the hallway, is there any legal way to find the code for it? This is my second playthrough and I have not been able to find anything other than the pass 1234 note which is not correct.

Really? That's strange. I also started up a new playthrough when the official 0.7.0 came out, and the 1234 note was the passcode to my door. If the issue persists, you could do one of two things: either you can buy lights yourself to light up the hallway, or you could buy a password changer for the door. If it really isn't the code, though, and you haven't done anything to the door, I would advise reporting this as a bug in the pinned thread.
