How to Restore Health in Starsand Island — Hearts vs Stamina

Health is not stamina

Health / HP / Hearts decrease when monsters hit you. Stamina / Energy is spent on gathering, farming and fishing. A food item can restore stamina without restoring HP, and sitting on a stool mainly restores stamina rather than treating combat hearts.

Build the healing table

Before publishing a food recommendation, check each item in Islandpedia and record HP Recovery, Stamina Recovery, Temporary Hearts, Recipe and Ingredients. Candidate methods include sleep, food with an HP Recovery attribute, meat dishes, special Moonlit Forest mushroom recipes and consumables with temporary Health Hearts.

Do not confuse stamina food

Ordinary Grilled Mushroom and Celeste Berry should not be labelled as confirmed HP medicine merely because they restore energy. A player preparing for Moonlit Forest should carry only items whose current description explicitly lists HP Recovery or temporary hearts.
