G-Power Bike shop
Neona's shop is the only vehicle dealer on the island. She sells finished vehicles for immediate use, vehicle blueprints for self-assembly (cheaper), and offers a rental system for budget players.
Finished vehicles (ready to ride)
Vehicle | Price | Type |
|---|---|---|
Reindeer Motorbike | 85,000 coins | Land motorbike |
Snoring Bear Motorbike with Sidecar | 85,000 coins | Land motorbike (2-seat) |
Hell Messenger Motorbike | 200,000 coins | Premium land motorbike |
Speedboat | 350,000 coins | Water vehicle |
Lightning Car | 650,000 coins | Premium land vehicle |
Vehicle blueprints (craft your own)
Blueprints are significantly cheaper than finished vehicles but require gathering materials and crafting at a Worktable:
Blueprint | Price |
|---|---|
300 coins | |
Sailboard | 900 coins |
Reindeer | 29,800 coins |
Snoring Bear | 29,800 coins |
Tricycle | 31,500 coins |
Meowzilla | 31,500 coins |
Meowsla | 31,500 coins |
35,000 coins | |
Hell Messenger | 80,000 coins |
Speedboat | 140,000 coins |
Lightning | 292,500 coins |
Nitro GTS | 405,000 coins |
The Bamboo Raft (300 coins) and Sailboard (900 coins) are the cheapest entry into water travel. The Nitro GTS (405,000 coins) is the most expensive blueprint but produces the fastest vehicle in the game.
Rental system
Neona also runs a vehicle rental system for players who cannot afford to buy:
Scooter Rental Pass: Grants 48 hours of free scooter access. Obtained from main quests or found in treasure chests. The best early-game transport option
Rental mopeds are parked at various points around the island; rental bikes sit outside G-Power Bike
Rentals are managed via an in-game phone app. Interact to pay dues and return the vehicle
Neona sometimes gives free rental vouchers as friendship rewards
Mount hiring (horses, etc.) costs roughly 15-30 coins per hour as an alternative to vehicle rentals
Personality and backstory
Neona is the "ultimate cool girl" of Starsand Island. She is glamorous but tough, with a direct and bold communication style. She grew up at sea with her grandfather, which sparked her love of machinery and tinkering with engines. Before coming to the island, she led a motorcycle club. Traces of that rebellious past show in her confidence and her love of fast rides along Starsand's coastal cliffs. She speaks with occasional Cantonese slang and has a no-nonsense approach to both business and relationships. Her hobbies include motorcycle rides, engine tinkering, and researching new power sources using the island's renewable resources.
Romance
Neona is fully romanceable. Her romance path progresses through the 5-heart system. At 5 Hearts (~1,520 points), you can invite her to move into your farm at Hopeland. Once moved in, Neona helps with vehicle maintenance and provides daily tips about the island's mechanical systems. As of Early Access, the romance system includes daily gifting, photo sessions (2+ hearts), and the move-in feature. Heart events and marriage mechanics may be added in future updates.
Tips
Copper ore is the easiest favorite gift to stockpile. Mine rocks everywhere you go and save copper specifically for Neona visits
She likes raw ores (Copper, Tin, Quartz) but dislikes processed ingots. Do not smelt her gifts
The Bamboo Raft blueprint at 300 coins is the cheapest way to get water travel. Buy it first before saving for land vehicles
Vehicle blueprints save roughly 60-65% compared to finished vehicles, but you need crafting materials and Worktable access
Visit between 8 AM and 10 PM for guaranteed shop access and conversation
Use the Social app's Locate button to set a waypoint to Neona if she is not at the shop
At 3 Hearts, visit her apartment above the shop for unique dialogue about her motorcycle club days and a resident chest
Free rental vouchers from friendship rewards can save significant coins early in the game
The Nitro GTS blueprint (405,000 coins) produces the fastest vehicle. Start saving early if speed is your priority
