Revision - animal products - Starsand Island Wiki

Overview

Every animal in Starsand Island produces byproducts that can be collected, sold, gifted to NPCs, or used in crafting and cooking. There are 24 distinct animal products in the game, and they fall into two broad categories: Processing items and Bounty items. Processing items serve as raw materials for recipes at stations like the Grinder, Loom, Charcoal Kiln, Feeder, Fertilizer Box, and Ammo Maker. Bounty items are primarily sold for profit or gifted to NPCs, though several also serve as crafting materials for automation buildings.

Animals produce byproducts daily after eating, and the quantity and quality depend on the animal's happiness, age, and DNA traits. All animals also produce Poop (used for Fertilizer) and have a chance to drop Silver Poop or Golden Poop, which sell for significantly more than standard Poop.

Products by Animal

The table below lists every animal species and the byproducts they generate. Animals are organized by their Rancher profession unlock tier.

Apprentice Rancher

Animal	Primary Products	Purchase Cost	Notes
Rabbit	Wool, Rabbit Poop	75 coins	Also clears 5-15 weeds per day depending on variant. Luna Rabbit clears the most (15).

Rabbits are the first animals you unlock after speaking with Pastelle at the Green Pasture Ranch. They are cheap to buy and Wool sells decently early on. Four rabbit variants exist: Common, Dango, Lop-eared, and Luna (glowing pink). Rabbit Poop is essential because it is a required ingredient for crafting Chicken Feed and Duck Feed at the Feeder.

Junior Rancher

Animal	Primary Products	Purchase Cost	Notes
Chicken	Eggs, Feathers, Chicken Claw	300 coins	Clears bugs (5-15 per day). Variants: Common, Ink, Pearl, Golden.
Duck	Eggs, Feathers	300 coins	Eats snails (5-15 per day). Variants: Common, White, Jade, Glazed.

Chickens and Ducks both produce Eggs and Feathers. The main difference is their pest control role: Chickens handle bugs while Ducks handle snails. Giant Eggs can drop from birds with high happiness. Eggs are one of the most versatile products in the game because they are ingredients in 10+ cooking recipes and also required for crafting Cattle Feed, Sheep Feed, Pig Feed, and Royal Jelly Feed at the Feeder.

Intermediate Rancher

Animal	Primary Products	Purchase Cost	Notes
Pig	Truffle, Fur, Unknown Mud Pile	650 coins	Digs up truffles. Variants: Common, Puffhog, Spotted.
Cow	Milk, Moo Ball, Fur, Sleep Sand	650 coins	Variants: Common, Hornox, Fluffhorn, Pyrox. Pyrox can walk on water.
Snowool (Sheep)	White Wool, Sheep Milk, Sheep Saliva, Sheep Cheese Block	650 coins	Rideable (1 person). Also produces Poop.
Ebowool (Sheep)	Black Wool, Sheep Milk, Sheep Saliva, Sheep Cheese Block	650 coins	Rideable. Breeding Snowool + Ebowool produces rare color variants.
Bumblebee	Honey	400 coins	Queen Bee variant found in Large Beehives (not purchasable). Queen produces more Bumblebees.

Cows are the standout animal at this tier because they produce four distinct products. Moo Ball is used to grind flower seeds at the Grinder, Milk is a key cooking ingredient and component of Advanced Bait, Fur feeds into the Loom for Leather and Fabric, and Sleep Sand is a bounty item that also serves as a crafting material for the Auto Shearer.

Sheep are the most product-diverse animals overall. A single sheep produces four different items daily: colored Wool, Sheep Milk, Sheep Saliva, and Sheep Cheese Block. By breeding Snowool and Ebowool together, you can unlock 12+ color variants (Blue, Cyan, Green, Orange, Purple, Red, Yellow, Cloud, Duswool, Fluffwool, and more), each producing wool in their respective color. Colored wool combines with Fur at the Loom to produce matching colored Fabric for clothing crafting.

Senior Rancher

Animal	Primary Products	Purchase Cost	Notes
Horse	Horse Dew, Fur	1,350 coins	Rideable (2 people). Variants: Common, Black, White, Ink.
Spotted Deer	Deer Antler, Fur	1,350 coins	Rideable (1 person). Variants: Common, Forest Deer.
Musk Deer	Musk, Musk Cocoon, Fur	1,350 coins	Males only produce Musk. Not rideable.

Senior-tier animals are primarily valued as mounts. Horses carry two riders, making them the only two-person mount before the endgame. Horse Dew is used at the Grinder alongside Honey to produce tree sapling seeds for Apple and Orange trees. Musk Cocoon is a required ingredient for crafting Alpaca Feed and Ostrich Feed at the Feeder, tying Senior-tier products directly into Expert-tier animal care.

Expert Rancher

Animal	Primary Products	Purchase Cost	Notes
Alpaca	Alpaca Wool, Alpaca Spit	2,750 coins	Rideable (1 person).
Ostrich	Ostrich Eggs, Feathers	2,750 coins	Rideable (1 person).

Expert-tier animals are expensive but produce premium products. Alpaca Wool is among the most valuable recurring byproducts in the game and is required alongside Musk to craft the Selective Breeding House at a Worktable III. Both Alpacas and Ostriches double as mounts.

Processing Chains

Animal products feed into multiple crafting and processing stations across the island. This section covers every major processing chain that uses animal products as inputs.

Grinder: Seeds from Animal Products

The Grinder is a processing station unlocked at the Senior Farmer tier. It converts raw crops into seed packets, and two animal products play a central role in this process: Moo Ball and Horse Dew.

Moo Ball (Flower Seeds)

Moo Ball is produced by Cows and is the key ingredient for grinding crossbred flower variants into seed packets. Each recipe requires the crossbred flower plus Moo Ball. There are 30+ flower seed recipes at the Grinder that use Moo Ball:

Recipe Pattern	Ingredients	Output
Colored Moonrise, Orchid, Rose, or Tulip seeds	2 colored flowers + 2 Moo Ball	Matching flower seed packet
Colored Sleep Lily seeds	2 colored flowers + 1 Moo Ball	Matching Sleep Lily seed packet

Available flower colors include Black, Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, and Purple. Each color has Moonrise, Orchid, Rose, Tulip, and Sleep Lily variants, creating over 30 individual recipes. This makes Moo Ball one of the highest-demand processing products for players who crossbreed flowers.

Horse Dew (Tree Sapling Seeds)

Horse Dew is produced by Horses and is used alongside Honey (from Bumblebees) to grind fruit into tree sapling seeds:

Output	Ingredients
Apple Sapling	4 Apples + 2 Horse Dew + 5 Honey
Orange Sapling	4 Oranges + 2 Horse Dew + 5 Honey

Tree saplings can be planted any time of year but only bear fruit during summer and autumn. Since saplings produce unlimited harvests, grinding your own saplings eliminates the need to purchase them from the Happiness Seed Shop.

Loom: Textiles from Fur and Wool

The Loom transforms animal fibers into textiles used for clothing crafting at the Sewing Table and other recipes.

Output	Ingredients	Notes
Leather	2 Fur	Basic textile. Fur comes from Pigs, Horses, and Cows.
Flannel	2 Wool	Wool comes from Rabbits.
Black Fabric	2 Black Wool + 1 Fur	Black Wool from Ebowool sheep.
White Fabric	2 White Wool + 1 Fur	White Wool from Snowool sheep.
Blue Fabric	2 Blue Wool + 1 Fur	Blue Wool from Blue sheep variant.
Cyan Fabric	2 Cyan Wool + 1 Fur	Cyan Wool from Cyan sheep variant.
Green Fabric	2 Green Wool + 1 Fur	Green Wool from Green sheep variant.
Orange Fabric	2 Orange Wool + 1 Fur	Orange Wool from Orange sheep variant.
Purple Fabric	2 Purple Wool + 1 Fur	Purple Wool from Purple sheep variant.
Red Fabric	2 Red Wool + 1 Fur	Red Wool from Red sheep variant.
Yellow Fabric	2 Yellow Wool + 1 Fur	Yellow Wool from Yellow sheep variant.
Rainbow Fabric	1 each: Orange, Cyan, Yellow, Purple, Blue, Green, Red Wool	Requires seven different colored wools.

Colored Fabric is the primary material for Sewing Table recipes. Since each colored Fabric requires both colored Wool and Fur, the Loom creates a dependency chain between sheep breeding (for wool colors) and keeping at least one Fur-producing animal (Pig, Horse, or Cow).

Charcoal Kiln: Glue from Sheep Saliva

The Charcoal Kiln produces Glue using Sheep Saliva:

Output	Ingredients
Glue	2 Sheep Saliva + 2 Fiber

Glue is used in various crafting recipes across the game. Since Sheep Saliva is exclusively produced by sheep, this creates another reason to maintain sheep in your herd beyond wool production.

Feeder: Animal Feed from Animal Products

The Feeder station crafts feed for all animal species. Several feed recipes require byproducts from other animals, creating a chain where lower-tier animals support higher-tier ones:

Feed Type	Animal Product Required	Other Ingredients
Chicken Feed	1 Rabbit Poop	2 Vegetable Juice
Duck Feed	1 Rabbit Poop	2 Vegetable Juice
Cattle Feed	1 Egg	1 Pasture Grass + 2 Fruit Pulp
Sheep Feed	1 Egg	1 Pasture Grass + 2 Fruit Pulp
Pig Feed	1 Egg	2 Fish Fillet
Royal Jelly Feed	1 Egg + 5 Honey	None
Horse Feed	1 Sheep Cheese Block + 1 Milk	3 Pasture Grass + 3 Vegetable Juice
Deer Feed	1 Sheep Cheese Block + 1 Milk	3 Pasture Grass + 3 Vegetable Juice
Musk Deer Feed	1 Sheep Cheese Block + 1 Milk	3 Pasture Grass + 3 Vegetable Juice
Alpaca Feed	1 Musk Cocoon + 2 Honey	2 Pasture Grass + 1 Protein Powder
Ostrich Feed	1 Musk Cocoon + 2 Honey	2 Pasture Grass + 1 Protein Powder

This feed chain is why experienced ranchers recommend unlocking animals in tier order. Rabbits supply Rabbit Poop for Chicken/Duck Feed. Chickens and Ducks supply Eggs for Cattle/Sheep/Pig Feed. Sheep supply Cheese Block for Horse/Deer/Musk Deer Feed. Musk Deer supply Musk Cocoon for Alpaca/Ostrich Feed. Skipping tiers means you have to buy feed instead of crafting it.

Fertilizer Box: Poop into Crop Boosters

All 11 animal species produce Poop, which is the core ingredient for Fertilizer production. Fertilizer Boxes at various upgrade tiers produce different fertilizer types:

Fertilizer	Box Tier	Poop Needed	Other Key Ingredients
Ripening Fertilizer II	Fertilizer Box II	1	Garlic, Moonflower Pollen
Ripening Fertilizer III	Fertilizer Box III	2	Fish Fillet (2), Peanut, Moonflower Pollen (2)
Ripening Fertilizer IV	Fertilizer Box IV	2	Fish Fillet (3), Peanut (2), Moonflower Pollen (3), Fruit Pulp (3)
Ripening Fertilizer V	Fertilizer Box V	3	Fish Fillet (3), Peanut (3), Moonflower Pollen (3), Spirit Fruit Pulp
Yield Fertilizer II	Fertilizer Box II	4	Protein Powder (8), Soybean (4), Moondew Shroom (3)
Yield Fertilizer III	Fertilizer Box III	7	Protein Powder (12), Soybean (7), Moondew Shroom (5)
Nutrient Soil IV	Fertilizer Box IV	2	Fluffweave Ash, Honey (2)
Nutrient Soil V	Fertilizer Box V	3	Spirit Fruit Pulp, Fluffweave Ash, Honey (3)
Gmax Fertilizer III	Fertilizer Box III	5	Primorite (4), Honey (4)
Gmax Fertilizer IV	Fertilizer Box IV	7	Primorite (6), Plainberry Powder, Honey (6)
Gmax Fertilizer V	Fertilizer Box V	10	Primorite (8), Plainberry Powder (2), Honey (8), Spirit Fruit Pulp (2)

Higher-tier fertilizers require both more Poop and more Honey. This means ranchers with large herds (producing lots of Poop) and a healthy bee colony (producing Honey) can sustain top-tier fertilizer production for their crops. Keeping multiple Fertilizer Boxes near your animal enclosures is the most efficient setup.

Ammo Maker: Stink Ammunition

The Ammo Maker uses Poop to craft novelty ammunition:

Output	Ingredients
Stink Bomb	1 Poop + 1 Simple Pellet
Stinky Arrow	1 Poop + 1 Arrow

Both items are useful for crowd control and have comedic value. They are not the strongest ammo options but can be produced cheaply with the Poop that accumulates from daily animal care.

Cooking Recipes Using Animal Products

Eggs and Milk are the two animal products most commonly used in cooking recipes. Here is a complete list of dishes that require animal products:

Egg Recipes

Crafting Recipes Using Animal Products

Beyond processing and cooking, several animal products serve as components for tools, bait, clothing, furniture, and automation buildings.

Tools and Bait

Output	Ingredients	Station
Brush	2 Softwood + 2 Wool	Worktable I
Advanced Bait	8 Honey + 4 Milk + 7 Protein Powder	Worktable III
Dream Catcher	4 Feathers + Carbon Line	Worktable I

Automation Buildings

Expert-tier Rancher automation buildings use bounty-class animal products as crafting materials:

Building	Animal Product Required	Other Materials	Station
Auto Shearer	5 Sleep Sand	4 Eternal Alloy, 2 Perpetual Reactor, 1 Chip, 5 Meteor Plank	Worktable III
Auto Milker	5 Sheep Milk	4 Eternal Alloy, 2 Perpetual Reactor, 1 Chip, 5 Meteor Plank	Worktable III
Selective Breeding House	8 Alpaca Wool + 8 Musk	8 Spring, 6 Eternal Alloy, 6 Meteor Plank	Worktable III
Poultry Egg Station	3 Giant Eggs	4 Hardwood Planks, 4 Gears, 6 Premium Wool, 3 Iron Sheets	Worktable II

These automation buildings reduce daily chores by automatically collecting products from animals. Building them is a long-term goal that requires both advanced materials from late-game content and specific bounty items that only come from raising animals to high happiness levels.

Barn Construction

Feathers are required to build several animal housing structures at the Worktable:

Structure	Feathers Needed	Other Materials
Cattle Barn	4	Hardwood Planks, Iron Nails, Premium Wool
Pigsty	4	Hardwood Planks, Iron Nails, Premium Wool
Sheep Barn	4	Hardwood Planks, Iron Nails, Premium Wool

Product Quality

Animal products come in quality tiers that directly affect sell price. Higher quality products sell for significantly more. The quality system ties into animal happiness and DNA traits.

Quality Tier	Requirement	Sell Price Multiplier
Normal	Animal is fed and at least juvenile age	1x (base price)
Silver	Occasional drop. Higher happiness and Quality Producer trait increase rate	Roughly 1.5x base price
Gold	Adult animal with happiness at 150 or above	Roughly 2-3x base price

How to Maximize Product Quality

Animal happiness is the single biggest factor in product quality. Here is how to keep it high:

Action	Effect
Pet daily	Increases happiness. Interact with each animal once per day.
Play Ukulele	Playing music near animals doubles the happiness boost 50% of the time.
Hand-feed treats	Feeding animals special food by hand grants extra happiness and can double byproduct output for the day.
Keep enclosure clean	Dirty enclosures reduce happiness. Clean regularly.
Use Mirth Feed	Mirth Feed variants from Mirth Feeder boost happiness faster than standard feed.
Breed for Optimism	The Optimism DNA trait doubles happiness boosts 50% of the time.
Breed for Quality Producer	This DNA trait directly increases the chance of producing higher-quality products.

Selling Animal Products

Animal products can be sold at any shop via the Sell tab, or placed in the Quick Shipping Box on your farm. The Merchant Ship visits periodically and buys products at 200% of their base price. If you are holding Gold-quality products, always wait for the Merchant Ship to maximize profit.

Silver Poop and Golden Poop sell for significantly more than standard Poop. While Poop is best used for Fertilizer production, Silver and Golden Poop are worth selling outright unless you need bulk fertilizer materials.

DNA Traits That Affect Products

Through breeding, animals can inherit DNA traits that affect their productivity:

Trait	Effect
Quality Producer	Higher chance of producing Gold/Silver quality products.
Workaholic	Animal performs its work action (weeding, pest control, etc.) more times per day.
Twins	30% chance of producing an extra offspring when breeding.
Precocial	Growth time reduced by one day (reaches adulthood faster).
Strong	Breeding cooldown reduced by one day.
Optimism	Happiness boost is doubled 50% of the time.
Bulkiness	Increases animal size (cosmetic).
Pride	Cannot be petted (negative; sell animals with this trait).
Petiteness	Animal stays tiny (cosmetic, negative for some breeding goals).
Bloom	Decreases happiness boost by 1 point (negative).

Tips

Tip	Details
Pet every animal every day	It costs nothing and is the most reliable way to build happiness over time.
Prioritize breeding for Quality Producer and Optimism	These two traits together make Gold-quality drops much more consistent.
The Breeding House (3,500 coins at Intermediate Rancher) lets you isolate specific pairs and control trait inheritance. Worth the investment.	--
Sheep are the most product-diverse animals	A single sheep produces four different items daily (colored Wool, Sheep Milk, Sheep Saliva, Sheep Cheese Block), making them excellent for both income and crafting supply.
Cows are the best all-rounders	With Milk for cooking, Moo Ball for flower seed grinding, Fur for Leather/Fabric, and Sleep Sand for automation crafting, they contribute to every major processing chain.
Hold Gold-quality products for the Merchant Ship (200% price)	The difference between selling normally and selling at 200% adds up fast over time.
Keep multiple Fertilizer Boxes near your animal enclosures. All animal Poop converts into Fertilizer, which boosts crop quality on your farm. Higher-tier Fertilizer from upgraded boxes makes an even bigger difference.	--
Unlock animals in tier order to sustain the feed chain	Rabbits produce Rabbit Poop for Chicken/Duck Feed. Chickens/Ducks produce Eggs for Cattle/Sheep/Pig Feed. Sheep produce Cheese Block for Horse/Deer/Musk Deer Feed. Musk Deer produce Musk Cocoon for Alpaca/Ostrich Feed.
Build multiple Grinders if you grind flower seeds	Moo Ball recipes take time to process, and having several Grinders running in parallel saves a lot of waiting.
Colored Fabric requires both colored Wool and Fur	Make sure you have at least one Pig, Horse, or Cow for Fur production alongside your sheep breeding operation.
