Starsand Island Robot Terminal & Mining Robot Guide

Unlock and craft

Push Crafting into its later or Expert task chain to obtain the Robot Terminal blueprint. Craft Mining Robot at Worktable III, then place the Terminal in the phone’s Equipment category.

Deploy at a repaired camp

Travel to a repaired Moonlit Forest campsite, place the Terminal from Equipment, insert the Mining Robot and assign a zone. Return to that Terminal after the work period to collect the output. The camp must be repaired and the zone must be valid before the robot can work.

Gold Ore zones

Robot output follows the assigned region. To target Gold Ore, choose a zone that contains Gold resources, such as Crystal Spring or the appropriate deeper region, rather than an arbitrary campsite. Community reports describe the region relationship but do not establish a universal Gold table or Terminal capacity.

Troubleshooting

If the Terminal will not place, check the repaired camp and placement area. If the robot will not insert, confirm the item is a Mining Robot and the Terminal is active. If no zone appears, the camp or region prerequisite may be incomplete. If the robot returns nothing, inspect the assigned zone and wait cycle. If it never mines Gold, move it to a confirmed Gold-bearing region. Current 1.0 bugs remain version-dependent.

FAQ

How do I unlock the Terminal? Advance the later Crafting / Expert chain. Where should it go? At a repaired Moonlit Forest camp with valid space. How do I assign a robot? Insert it, then select an available zone from the Terminal. Can it collect Gold? Reports say yes in Gold-bearing zones. Why is it not working? Check camp repair, robot insertion, zone selection and wait time. How many robots fit? Confirm the current Terminal interface; public reports are not consistent.
