Overview
Starsand Island has two fast travel methods: the free Home Teleport available from day one, and a bus stop network of 10 stations that must be unlocked and rebuilt through a quest. Together, they make navigating the island much faster than walking or using vehicles.
Home Teleport
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Available | From the start of the game, no quest required |
Cost | Free |
Cooldown | None |
Destination | Teleports you directly to your cottage at Hopeland |
Use this whenever you need to return home quickly. After a long expedition, when stamina is low, or before passing out at 2:00 AM.
Bus stop network
The bus stop network consists of 10 stations scattered across the island. They are unlocked through the "Building Starsand Station" quest, which becomes available after reaching the "Island Pro" stage of your Island Life Ranking.
How to unlock
Reach the "Island Pro" milestone in your Island Life Ranking
Accept the "Building Starsand Station" quest from Solara
Travel physically to each of the 10 bus stops (marked with a train icon on the map)
Donate materials to rebuild each station
Rebuild costs per station
Each bus stop requires the same materials to rebuild:
10 Stone Brick
5 Glass Pane
10 Softwood Plank
5 Iron Sheet
With 10 stations to rebuild, the total material cost is significant. Stock up before starting the quest chain, or rebuild stations one at a time as you explore.
Travel cost
Each trip between stations costs 15 coins. All rebuilt stations are interconnected. You can travel from any active stop to any other active stop. There is no cooldown between trips.
Station locations
The 10 bus stops are distributed across all major areas of the island:
Starsand Station central hub, main train station
Starsand Town town center
Hopeland near the player's farm
Half-Moon Bay port and beach area
Green Meadow ranch and Exploration Club area
Bastrom Heights mountain monastery
Cloudrest Lake lakeside area
Maple Reed forested area
Two additional stops covering the outer edges of the island
Tips
Rebuild the stations closest to your daily activities first (Starsand Town, Hopeland, Half-Moon Bay).
The bus stop network pairs well with the Home Teleport. Teleport home, then bus to your destination.
At 15 coins per trip, fast travel is cheaper than renting a vehicle for long distances.
Bus stops are marked on the map with a train icon even before they are rebuilt.
