Noted patch 0.2374 fix for the Cloudrest Lake underwater-walking water-detection bug
11Overview22Cloudrest Lake is a serene bamboo forest lakeside area located north of Starsand Town on Starsand Island. It is one of three unlockable homestead environments alongside Blue Beach and Windflute Island. The area features bamboo groves, rolling hills, a central lake, and a pier. Offering a quieter, more pastoral setting than the starting Hopeland farm.44Cloudrest Lake is notable for its unique bus stop (the only station requiring Bamboo Boards), its resident panda Booboo, and some of the best honeycomb farming spots on the island.77How to Unlock99Cloudrest Lake is not accessible from the start. To unlock it, you must reach the Home Builder rank in the Island Life app, which requires:1111Expanding your starting Hopeland farm 6 times.Completing additional Island Life tasks beyond the Skillful Star rank.1313Once unlocked, the initial plot costs 6,000,000 coins + 750 Starsand to purchase. Cloudrest Lake must be purchased before you can unlock Blue Beach (the next tier at "Bright Star" rank).1515Homestead Unlock Order1717FeatureDescriptionHopelandStarter farm (free).Cloudrest LakeHome Builder rank. 6,000,000 coins + 750 Starsand.Blue BeachBright Star rank (requires Cloudrest Lake).Windflute IslandStarsand Legend rank.1919Geography2020Cloudrest Lake is defined by its bamboo groves, a central lake, surrounding hills, and dense forests to the east and west.

Travel between stations costs 5-30 coins per trip depending on the distance. The bus stop system is unlocked through the "Building Starsand Station" quest from Solara at Island Pro rank.3131Booboo the Panda3333Cloudrest Lake is home to Booboo, a panda who lives in the Panda House east of the lake. She is not a traditional adoptable pet like the animals at Woof & Wow Pets but has her own friendship system based on feeding her Fresh Bamboo Shoots.3535Friendship Progression3737ItemDescription1st feeding15 Fresh Bamboo Shoots.2nd feeding25 Fresh Bamboo Shoots.3rd feeding25 Fresh Bamboo Shoots.4th feeding30 Fresh Bamboo Shoots.5th feeding35 Fresh Bamboo Shoots.3939That is 130 Fresh Bamboo Shoots in total. Each completed feeding rewards a treasure chest containing bamboo-themed crafting recipes. After maxing out friendship, Booboo stays in her home area (she cannot be adopted or moved) but you can pet and play with her.4040Finding Fresh Bamboo Shoots4242Fresh Bamboo Shoots spawn in the grass on the eastern side of Cloudrest Lake and around the Panda House. Look for sparkle effects on the ground. They respawn daily. Fresh Bamboo Shoots sell for only 5 coins each at vendors, so feeding them to Booboo is a much better use than selling.4444Fishing4646Cloudrest Lake counts as a "Lake" fishing zone. Lake fish include Topmouth Culter, Kissing Gourami, Chinese Perch, Betta, Bighead Carp, Crucian Carp, Koi, Lake Trout, Grass Carp, and many more. Fish availability depends on season, weather, and time of day. See the full fishing guide for detailed species lists.4848The pier on the south side of the lake is the most convenient fishing spot. Night fishing (20:00-02:00) can yield nocturnal species like Ribbon Eel and Mandarinfish.5050Resources5252MaterialDetailsFresh Bamboo ShootsFound in the grass around the eastern lake shore and Panda House.

You can place homes, farm plots, Crafting Stations, and decorations on your purchased plots. The area uses the same three camera modes, terrain tools, and 300+ furniture pieces available at other homesteads.6060Nearby Areas6262Bastrom Heights Mountainous temple area to the north, home to Youfang.Starsand Town The main hub to the south.Green Pasture Ranch.

Abnormal water detection had allowed characters to walk underwater, which produced camera glitches and broke fishing interactions in the affected area. The fix restored normal water-edge behavior, and characters once again enter the swim animation when crossing the lake boundary.
