General Store overview
The General Store is the first shop most players visit on Starsand Island. It sits on the main road in Starsand Town and is run by Zerine, the Crafter profession mentor. The store operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, making it one of only two shops that never closes (the other being the Soluna Cafe Lodge). It has the largest selection of blueprints in the game, focused on industrial and processing equipment.
Free Equipment Blueprint Pack
A free Equipment Blueprint Pack is available at the cash register. Pick it up as soon as you enter the shop. It includes four essential crafting station blueprints:
Cutter I: For processing wood
Charcoal Kiln: For making charcoal from wood
Furnace I: For smelting ores into ingots
Separator: For separating materials
Inventory
The General Store sells crafts, ingredients, snacks, drinks, and a wide range of blueprints:
Basic tools: Watering cans, hoes, axes, pickaxes, and other starting tools
Crafting materials: Wood, stone, fiber, and common resources for when you are short
Hot Spring Tickets: 100 Gold each, used at hot springs to recover stamina (1 stamina per second)
Snacks and drinks: Quick consumables for minor stamina recovery

Zerine
Zerine is shy and timid but deeply skilled at crafting. She gives you your first skateboard when you reach Apprentice Crafter rank. Behind the store is Zerine's basement workshop where she works on personal projects. Her apartment is upstairs (accessible at 3+ hearts). Zerine likes Blue Hydrangea, Celeste Berry, Chilled Twilight Salad, Frost Fizz, Grilled Mushroom Skewers, Light Blue Hydrangea, Mirage Sunflower, Mirthshroom, Mirthshroom Soup, Mushroom Soup, Pink Hydrangea, Plain Noodles, Red Grape Jam, Smashed Cucumber, and Yellow Sleep Lily. She dislikes Prism.
