11 Bastrom Heights is a mountainous temple area located in the northern part of Starsand Island. The area is characterized by steep cliffs, winding mountain roads lined with blue hydrangeas, and multiple temple structures at various tiers of elevation. It has a distinct spiritual atmosphere compared to the rest of the island. Bastrom Heights is the sole residence of Youfang, a fortune teller and spiritual disciple who lives in the main temple. There are no shops at Bastrom Heights; it is purely a residential, spiritual, and exploration area.

33 Location and Access
44  
55 Bastrom Heights sits above Cloudrest Lake on the east side of the island, north of Starsand Town. The road up to the temple complex passes under the cliff face near Green Pasture Ranch. Blue hydrangeas along the mountain path serve as natural trail markers during Summer and Autumn.
66  
77 There is no bus stop at Bastrom Heights. The nearest fast travel point is the Cloudrest Lake bus stop, from which players must walk or ride uphill to reach the temple area. This makes Bastrom Heights one of the more remote and inconvenient locations to visit regularly.

2626 Youfang is a young monk sent to Starsand Island by his master (the abbot of his monastery) approximately one year before the player arrives. Despite being the monastery's most unconventional disciple, he was the abbot's favorite due to his genuine spiritual talent. His master gave him two purposes on the island: develop his spirit through the rhythms of daily living, and protect the island's spiritual energies.

2828 Youfang presents a laidback, carefree exterior that masks deeper wisdom. He is kind, philosophical, and possesses a gentle humor. He is one of the most solitary residents on the island, spending much of his time in meditation, study, and tending an herb garden at the temple.

4040 Youfang is romanceable and follows the standard heart level system. At Heart Level 3 (370+ Affection Points), players can enter his bedroom inside the main temple, which contains relationship-locked treasure chests with exclusive character-themed decor.

4242 As of the current Early Access version, multiple players have reported that Youfang cannot be invited to move in after reaching Heart Level 5, unlike other romanceable characters. This may be an intentional design choice reflecting his monastic dedication or a bug that will be addressed in a future update.
