Starsand Island Guide: A Practical Starting Route
Start by following the opening quests at Hopeland, then unlock Crafting and Exploration while learning the daily stamina rhythm.

Keep the phone apps, bedtime, bag space, and Workpedia upgrades in view as you progress.

Use the Social app’s Preferences record before handing over valuable items: every resident can love, like, dislike, or hate different gifts.
