11Overview22Hopeland is the player's starting farm area, located southwest of Starsand Town on Starsand Island. When you first arrive on the island, you receive a small plot of land with a tiny cottage. This is your base of operations for farming, crafting, ranching, and building. The entrance to the Moonlit Forest is south of your home through a Damaged Door, and Zerine's General Store is the closest shop to the northeast.44Starting Structures66When you first arrive at Hopeland, the following structures are already on your property:99StructureDescriptionCottageYour home. Sleep here to save progress and recover stamina overnight. Can be fully customized.MailboxReceive letters, gifts, and quest notifications from NPCs.Shipping BinPlace items inside to sell them overnight. Revenue appears the next morning.Farm SwingSit on the swing to recover stamina for free. Takes real-time seconds to regenerate a noticeable amount.Damaged DoorSouthern exit leading to the Moonlit Forest. Requires repair materials to open.1111Farm Swing1212The farm swing is located near your cottage and provides free stamina recovery. Sitting on the swing slowly regenerates your stamina bar without consuming any items or coins. While it is slower than eating food or using stamina potions, it is a cost-free option that is especially useful in the early game when resources are limited. You can also enjoy the view while waiting, as the swing faces out over your farm plots.1414Cottage Customization1616Your cottage can be fully customized piece by piece using crafting materials, or you can purchase prefab layouts. Customization options include walls, flooring, roofing, windows, doors, and exterior decorations. Interior furniture can be placed freely in build mode (press C while inside). As you expand your house and add rooms, you unlock space for additional furniture, storage, and decorative items.1818Farm Activities2020ActivityDetailsCropsTill plots with a hoe, plant seeds, and water crops. Giant crop mutations are possible (e.g., Watermelons and Pumpkins in 3x3 grids). Some crops like Cucumbers need trellises. Sprinklers unlock at the Intermediate Farmer tier for automatic watering.AnimalsBuild hutches and barns to raise livestock. Rabbits can be used for natural weed removal on the farm. See the mounts article for rideable animals.CraftingPlace workstations (worktable, furnace, loom, etc.) directly on your farm.

Once built, the World Tree periodically generates treasure chests containing random rewards such as coins, Starsand currency, crafting materials, and occasionally rare items. Check the tree daily to collect any chests that have spawned. The World Tree is one of the best passive income sources in the mid-to-late game.2525Pets at Hopeland2727Two wild pets roam the Hopeland area and can be befriended:2929PetTypeDetailsMellowhenCapybaraWanders around the farm area.
