>>713520791My friend figured out the process and explained it to me.
Before the next day, vacate all of the neighbor's buildings and put 3 buddies with the same crafting life in them, leave the other 3 empty.
Collect flowers.
2 of the 3 crafters should have requests.
Talk to them, then refuse to do them.
If you don't have either out, reset the island by going into Hagram mode.
Get into contact with a different buddy who will run up to you either to give you their strangeling or an emote.
^ Must happen otherwise the 3rd crafter won't give you anything.
Go into the 3rd crafter's home and sleep on the bed until you see the buddy at the crafting table.
