How to Complete All Crafting Machines in Starsand Island

Select Language:

Crafting is a vital part of Starsand Island; without it, progress is slow. Most activities on the island, like fishing, farming, and exploring the Moonlit Forest, rely heavily on crafting. Your journey begins as an apprentice guided by a local mentor, but soon crafting will occupy most of your day. Here’s everything you need to know about crafting in Starsand Island: the machines you can build, their functions, and the resources required for each project.

How to Craft in Starsand Island

Early in the game, you’re introduced to the Crafting Profession and start harvesting materials right away. This gives you a clear idea that crafting will be a main focus throughout your gameplay. Resources are scattered across the island, including rocks, wood, animal byproducts, and rare elements found only in the Moonlit Forest. Some items require purchasing blueprints, which you can find at the General Store, or at specific mentors’ workplaces for profession-specific projects. For example, fishing-related items can be unlocked at the AquaBlue Outpost with Delphin.

As you progress and earn your Crafting Certification with Serene, you can upgrade your crafting machines to produce more valuable and rarer items. When you scroll over an ingredient or press the left thumbstick (or hover your mouse), you can view details such as:

Quantity needed
Current amount owned
The purpose of the item
How to obtain it
Selling price
Resources required for crafting

It’s helpful to build multiple machines like the Furnace, Cutter, and Charcoal Kiln to speed up more complicated tasks.
