11Overview22The Rednote Collaboration is a themed item set released in Starsand Island as part of the March 2026 content update. It is a partnership between developer Seed Sparkle Lab and Rednote (Xiaohongshu), one of China's largest social media and lifestyle platforms. The collaboration introduces exclusive cosmetic items including a branded watering can, clothing pieces, and decorative objects, all purchasable with in-game Coins at Lex Woodworks.44This is the third themed item set introduced in the March 2026 update, alongside the Sun Wukong Outfit Set and the Firework Items collection. The Rednote collaboration reflects the game's Chinese development roots and its strategy of partnering with culturally relevant brands and platforms to create unique in-game content.66About Rednote (Xiaohongshu)88Rednote, known as Xiaohongshu (小红书) in Chinese, is a social media and e-commerce platform founded in 2013 by Miranda Qu and Charlwin Mao. Headquartered in Shanghai, the name literally translates to "Little Red Book." The platform combines social networking, content sharing, and integrated shopping, with a strong focus on lifestyle, fashion, beauty, food, and travel content. In 2024, Xiaohongshu has over 300 million monthly active users, with roughly 70% of its user base belonging to Gen Z.1010A signature element of the platform's brand identity is the sweet potato motif. Because "hong shu" (红薯) is a homophone of part of the platform's name, Xiaohongshu adopted the sweet potato as its mascot. Users on the platform are affectionately nicknamed "Little Red Potatoes" (小红薯, xiao hong shu), and the platform's official guide character is "Captain Sweet Potato" (薯队长, shu dui zhang). This sweet potato branding carries over directly into the Starsand Island collaboration items, most notably the Little Red Potato Watering Can.1313Rednote has become a significant marketing channel for video games in China. Developers frequently partner with content creators on the platform to promote their titles. Starsand Island maintains an official Xiaohongshu account (@星砂岛), and the game's farming and decoration content has resonated particularly well with the platform's lifestyle-oriented community. The collaboration takes this relationship a step further by bringing Rednote-branded content directly into the game world.1515Collaboration Items1717The Rednote Collaboration set includes cosmetic and functional items that incorporate the platform's visual identity into Starsand Island's cozy art style. All items feature the signature red color palette and sweet potato motifs associated with the Rednote brand, adapted to fit the game's aesthetic.1919Known Items2121The following item has been confirmed through official patch notes and roadmap announcements.

The items were added as part of a stock refresh that expanded the shop's inventory with new seasonal rotations, accessory options, and collaboration exclusives.2828All collaboration items are purchased with in-game Coins. They do not require real-money transactions, special event participation, or a Rednote/Xiaohongshu account. The shop is open daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM in-game time. If Alex is not behind the counter, use the Phone's Social app to locate her.3030Some collaboration items may also be obtainable through in-game themed event tasks, providing an alternative way to acquire them alongside the standard shop purchases. Check the Bulletin Board and in-game notifications for any active collaboration events.3232Availability3434The Rednote Collaboration items are a permanent addition to the game following the March 2026 update. They are not time-limited, seasonal, or tied to any specific event window. Once the update is installed, the items remain available in Lex Woodworks indefinitely.3636This approach is consistent with Starsand Island's overall monetization philosophy during Early Access. All March 2026 content additions, including the Sun Wukong Outfit Set and Firework Items, are purchasable with in-game currency rather than real money, keeping the collaboration accessible to all players regardless of spending habits.3838Patch History4040The collaboration items have received the following fixes since their introduction:4242VersionChange0.3.4631Fixed a bug where the Little Red Potato Watering Can could stack incorrectly in the player's inventory.0.3.5809Applied an additional fix for the Little Red Potato Watering Can stacking issue to cover remaining edge cases.4444Cultural Partnerships in Starsand Island4545The Rednote Collaboration is part of a broader pattern of cultural partnerships in Starsand Island.
