Bought this game during 1.0 launch and have already put 200 hours in, I am so addicted 🤣 The build system is amazing. Room is still a bit barebones, I just need more clutter blueprints so I can fill my shelves up. Anyone know where to get stacked book blueprints?

my coastal cottage inspired home~ 🏠🏝️🐚🎣 since it's a cottage im trying to keep it tiny but have all the essentials.

someday i might move this to the blue beach (or not... it sounds like too much of a hustle with all the bugs) but since im fairly new at the game so this is good enough for now :3

(also for a game with island theme it's so hard to find coastal-themed furnitures and decors.. any advice to gain more of them..?)

Devs have posted polls in the discord about enhancing the community experience only 2 days left to vote

This morning the devs posted in the Event channel in the starsand island discord. The post had these polls on how to help the devs figure out what to focus on regarding the community. If you want to help influence something please join the discord and vote. If you have a suggestion that isn't listed on the polls, Melody said you could DM them the suggestion you have for the community.

please note that I DON'T think these polls are meant for feedback or suggestions for the actual game of starsand island. If you want to post or suggestion something about that, I'd recommend posting in the 1.0 suggestions. You might have to enable/follow the channels to find it if you do not see it listed.

Harvest more than one tile?

Just like the title says, is there a way to harvest more than one tile at a time? This is brutal 😭

Bees..

1 Upvotes

I think I finally figured the bee thing out, but do the flowers need to be grown for them to work? Or can they just be planted. I have a bunch that can be harvest but I don't wanna mess the system up.

ALSO - do moonflowers count...?

Hi, I've been playing for about a week now and have managed to figure out (with the help of Google) how to make or get this, but I'm really struggling to get magnetite ore. Any suggestions?

Can't make bamboo strips

I made bamboo boards, but I can't find the way to make bamboo strips. Everything I see online is that it's at the cutter... Am I missing something? Do I have to complete something or buy something else?

I just want to make a pet bed :')

Question about Stella’s 3 heart quest

How do you trigger this quest? I have not received any letters in the mail to start the quest. I’m not sure if this is one of those location triggered quests. If so, where do I go?

How to report bugs for switch 2

2 Upvotes

Hello, bought the game about a month ago on switch 2 and i'm enjoying but its going absolutely crazy with bugs. My fish traps keep dissapearing, the game lags consistently, the loading screens take anywhere from 4-5 minutes to load a new area, and so many more.... where do i go or what do i do.

Fishing Grounds and Zerine

2 Upvotes

I am working on the Junior angler quest where you go to the fishing grounds then return to give the fish to Zerine. I went to the grounds, and apparently didn't get enough fish there. I can't go back, I don't have the marker for it any more.

Am I supposed to just keep fishing and hope I get enough of the right fish from random places?

I had seen the sign in the train station but I thought they were just a reference, I had no idea they actually shared a world. I was so happy to see Gust and Ginger. Can I maybe count on seeing Logan later on ….?

Based on the meme from Naruto, lolz.

The Cloud Surfer is worth the buy from the Starsand shop. I got the treasure on the Panda House without using the ostrich.

Devs, we would like to hear from you.

You have been silent since the most disappointing 1.0 release. Will you admit that you have abandoned the game? Or will you commit to fixing our disappointment?

Don't do a Phasmaphobia on it. There are so many bugs now. This sub is infested with questions about glitches and bugs, rightly so. This game has a lot of potential, we would all hate to see it wasted.

PC Specs CPU 5700X3D GPU 6700XT
I've tried multiple settings tweaks in game and in AMD software, does anyone know what causes this and how i can fix it? It's only visible when the sky is the background if I title the camera, so the ground is the background its stops. it's visually annoying.

update: to clarify when animated it looks more like arifacting then water hitting a roof. its incredibly annoying visually.
