11Overview2233Crafting stations are the backbone of production in Starsand Island. Every item you make, from a simple Stone Pickaxe to the Freewind Jet, requires a specific station. Most station blueprints are sold at Zerine's General Store or unlocked through Crafter profession certifications. A few specialized stations come from other mentors: Delphin at the AquaBlue Outpost sells the Chopper blueprints, Graminova at the Happiness Seed Shop provides the Separator and Grinder, and Pastelle at Green Pasture Ranch handles animal care equipment.4455Stations fall into two categories. Instant crafting stations (like the Worktable and Sewing Table) produce items immediately when you confirm the recipe. Timed processing stations (like the Furnace, Cutter, and Charcoal Kiln) run automatically over real in-game time while you do other activities. Building multiples of timed stations is the standard way to keep up with demand for processed materials.6677Higher-tier stations include all recipes from the tier below, so upgrading never removes access to earlier products. Upgrading a station in place preserves its position on your property. You do not need to pick it up and re-place it.8899Starter Equipment Blueprint Pack10101111When you begin the Crafter profession with Zerine, you receive a free Equipment Blueprint Pack from the register at the General Store. This pack contains blueprints for the five foundational stations:121213131414Worktable I (the primary instant crafting station)Furnace I (smelts ores into ingots)Charcoal Kiln (converts wood into charcoal and other processed goods)Cutter I (saws wood and metal into planks and sheets)Separator (processes raw crops into cooking ingredients)15151616Complete Station List17171818StationTypeTiersBlueprint SourceWorktableWorkbench (instant)I, II, IIIEquipment Blueprint Pack (free)FurnaceProcessing (timed)I, II, IIIEquipment Blueprint Pack (free)CutterProcessing (timed)I, II, IIIEquipment Blueprint Pack (free)ChopperProcessing (timed)I, II, IIIAquaBlue Outpost (600+ coins)Charcoal KilnProcessing (timed)No upgradeEquipment Blueprint Pack (free)Spinning WheelProcessing (timed)No upgradeGeneral Store (55g)LoomProcessing (timed)No upgradeGeneral Store (55g)Sewing TableWorkbench (instant)No upgradeBoutiqueGear SmithProcessingNo upgradeGeneral Store (710g)Ammo MakerProcessingNo upgradeExploration Shop (30g)Energy ConverterProcessingNo upgradeGeneral StoreOre AnalyzerProcessing (timed)No upgradeGeneral StoreSeparatorConversion (instant)No upgradeEquipment Blueprint Pack (free)GrinderProcessingNo upgradeHappiness Seed Shop1919Worktable20202121The Worktable is the most important station in the game. It handles all instant crafting: tools, weapons, furniture, decorations, other crafting stations, and vehicles. There are three tiers, each unlocked through the Crafter profession certifications with Zerine. Every tier inherits all recipes from the previous tier.22222323Worktable I24242525DetailInfoBlueprintFree (Equipment Blueprint Pack)Blueprint Cost15gBuild MaterialsSoftwood x4Crafted AtAvailable at game startSell Price8g2626The Worktable I is the first station you build. A pre-placed Worktable I is already available at your house when the game begins, and public Worktables can be found at camps throughout the Moonlit Forest. It handles hundreds of recipes, including every basic tool (Axe, Bug Net, Wooden Fishing Rod, Stone Pickaxe, Stone Hoe, Wooden Watering Can), starter furniture (Stump Stool, Simple Chair, Basic Bed), fencing, storage boxes, and all the other foundational crafting stations like the Furnace I, Cutter I, Charcoal Kiln, Spinning Wheel, and Loom.27272828Worktable II29293030DetailInfoUnlockJunior Crafter certificationBlueprint Cost420gBuild MaterialsGlass Pane x3, Iron Ingot x3, Softwood Plank x4Upgrade MaterialsGlass Pane x3, Softwood Plank x2, Iron Ingot x3Sell Price320g3131Upgrading to Worktable II is a major milestone. It unlocks the entire second tier of tools and opens weapon crafting for deeper Moonlit Forest progression. Notable new recipes include the Plume Bow, Impact Hammer, Machete, Impulse Pickaxe, Wide Hoe, Bronze Watering Can, Chrono Rod, Beehive, Breeding House, Bamboo Raft, and the Ancient Key (Iron Ingot x2 + Prism x1). The Iron Ingot requirement means you need a Furnace II and access to Iron Ore from the Moonlit Forest before you can upgrade.32323333Worktable III34343535DetailInfoUnlockIntermediate Crafter certificationBlueprint Cost2,480gUpgrade MaterialsMini Reactor x1, Alloy x2, Hardwood Plank x3, Prism x1Sell Price1,907g3636Worktable III is the final tier and handles the most advanced recipes in the game. Notable additions include the Crossbow, Blast Hammer, Sharp Machete, Electric Drill, Chainsaw, Hydraulic Hoe, Cosmos Watering Can, Pressurized Sprinkler, Spirit Cubes, Teleporters, the Jet Ski (Mini Reactor x4, Premium Wood Plank x10, High-Performance Wire Set x10, Starflare Crystal x10, Rubber x10), the Freewind Jet (Chip x6, Eternal Alloy x20, Spirit Cube III x3, Perpetual Reactor x6, Bronze x25, Meteor Plank x20), and the Nitro GTS. This tier represents the endgame of the Crafting profession.37373838Furnace39394040The Furnace smelts raw ores into ingots, alloys, and other processed metals. It is essential for almost every mid-to-late-game recipe. Like the Worktable, it has three tiers. Each smelting recipe requires Charcoal (at Furnace I) or Coal (at Furnace II and III) as fuel.41414242Furnace I43434444DetailInfoBlueprintFree (Equipment Blueprint Pack)Blueprint Cost15gBuild MaterialsStone x5Crafted AtWorktable ISell Price10g4545Furnace I Recipes46464747ItemMaterialsCopper IngotCopper x4, Charcoal x1Tin IngotTin x4, Charcoal x1Stone BrickStone x4, Charcoal x1Glass BrickQuartz x4, Charcoal x1Radiant CoreFluorite x4, Charcoal x1BronzeTin Ingot x1, Copper Ingot x1, Charcoal x14848Copper Ingot is the first metal you smelt, needed for tools like the Impulse Pickaxe and many Junior-tier recipes.

Oilstone replaces Coal as the fuel at this tier. Eternal Alloy is the ultimate refined metal, used in endgame vehicles like the Freewind Jet and the Nitro GTS. Most players will not need this tier until they are working on Expert-level equipment.65656666Cutter67676868The Cutter is a passive processing station that saws raw wood and metal into planks, boards, sheets, and other refined materials. You load materials, and the Cutter processes them over time while you do other activities. Along with the Furnace and Worktable, it is one of the three core Crafter profession stations. Building multiple Cutters running in parallel is the standard strategy for keeping up with plank demand.69697070Cutter I71717272DetailInfoUnlockApprentice Crafter certificationBlueprintFree (Equipment Blueprint Pack)Build MaterialsSoftwood x10, Stone x5, Fiber x3Crafted AtWorktable I7373Cutter I Products74747575ProductPrimary UseSoftwood PlankBuilding, furniture, fences, bus stopsBamboo BoardBus stop variants, certain furnitureBamboo StripDecorative craftingCopper SheetOre Analyzer, certain toolsGlass PaneWorktable II upgrade, windows, decorations7676Softwood Plank is one of the most heavily used materials in the early game.

Meteor Plank is the ultimate wood material, used in the most expensive recipes in the game.939394949595Chopper96969797The Chopper is a crafting station primarily used to produce fishing bait. Unlike most stations, the Chopper is tied to the Angler profession rather than the Crafter profession. All three tier blueprints are purchased from Delphin at the AquaBlue Outpost on the right side of Half-Moon Bay. Building requires Bronze, Glass Panes, and Softwood Planks at the Worktable.98989999Chopper Tier Progression100100101101TierUnlockBlueprint CostProductsChopper IApprentice Angler600 coinsMeat Bait, Veggie Bait, Bug BaitChopper IIJunior Angler1,700 coinsFish FeedChopper IIIIntermediate Angler4,000 coinsAdvanced Fish Food102102Bait Recipes103103104104BaitIngredientsAttractsMeat BaitFlour + Fish FilletCarnivorous fish (sharks, tuna, anglerfish, deep-sea species)Veggie BaitVegetable Juice + FlourHerbivorous fish (most freshwater and some ocean species)Bug BaitProtein Powder + FlourSpecific picky eaters that only respond to insect-based bait105105The intermediate ingredients (Flour, Fish Fillet, Vegetable Juice, Protein Powder) are all produced at the Separator.

Building the Ore Analyzer is part of the "Become a Junior Crafter" quest from Zerine. Ore Chunks cannot be smelted directly; they must be analyzed first. The output is randomized, ranging from basic Stone and Copper to valuable components like Ancient Gear Parts, Magnetite, and Spirit Cube Fragments.186186187187188188Place the Ore Analyzer near your Furnace so you can immediately smelt any ores that come out. You can build multiple Ore Analyzers to process chunks in parallel, which saves significant waiting time when running large batches from deep forest expeditions.189189190190Separator191191192192DetailInfoBlueprintFree (Equipment Blueprint Pack)Build MaterialsStone x3, Softwood x3, Fiber x5Crafted AtWorktable ISell Price17gUpgradesCannot be upgraded193193The Separator instantly processes raw crops, fish, bugs, and meat into base cooking ingredients.

Higher-star crops sell for more at shops and produce better cooking ingredients.246246247247Station Placement Tips248248249249Group related stations together. Keep the Separator, Campfire, Gas Stove, Brewing Barrel, Jam Maker, and Pickling Jar in a "kitchen" cluster for efficient cooking workflows.Create a workshop area. Place the Worktable, Furnace, Cutter, Chopper, and Charcoal Kiln together near your storage chests for quick material access.Build multiples of timed stations. Two Cutters running at once halves your wait for planks. The same applies to the Furnace, Charcoal Kiln, and Ore Analyzer.Place the Ammo Maker near your exit. Build it near your farm entrance or the Moonlit Forest portal. You will restock ammo before every forest trip.Use indoor placement. Stations can be placed inside your house. Interior placement looks cleaner and keeps everything close together.Upgrading preserves position. You do not need to pick up a station before upgrading it. The upgrade happens in place.Buy all blueprints early. Check with Zerine, Graminova, Pastelle, Delphin, and Zephyria for their respective station categories. Some blueprints are easy to miss.250250251251Recommended Upgrade Priority252252253253When progressing through the Crafter profession, stations compete for the same rare materials. Here is a suggested priority order:254254255255Furnace I to II: unlocks Iron Ingot and Gold Ingot, which gate almost everything else.Cutter I to II: unlocks Iron Sheet and Hardwood Plank, both needed for Worktable II.Worktable I to II: unlocks mid-tier tools, weapons, the Plume Bow, and many new station recipes.Furnace II to III: unlocks Flamecore Ingot, Aurorite Ingot, and Eternal Alloy for endgame gear.Cutter II to III: unlocks Premium Wood Plank and Meteor Plank for endgame construction.Worktable II to III: unlocks endgame tools, vehicles, and Teleporters. Requires a Mini Reactor from the Energy Converter.256256257257Build the Gear Smith and Energy Converter after reaching Worktable II, since both stations require mid-tier materials.
