Stamp Collection

Overview

The Stamp Collection is a collectibles tracking system accessible through the Islandpedia app on your in-game phone. It is a small submenu at the bottom of the Islandpedia screen that is easy to miss on first glance. The system passively tracks everything you do across six categories and rewards you when you hit collection milestones. You do not need to take any special action to collect stamps; simply playing the game normally (gathering resources, cooking, crafting, catching fish and bugs, growing plants, and acquiring home items) fills in the tracker automatically.

Each category shows a progress counter so you can see how close you are to the next stamp. When you reach a milestone threshold, a stamp becomes claimable and you receive a reward. The rewards vary by category: some give coins, others unlock exclusive cooking recipes, special colored animals, or blueprints.

How It Works

Stamps are recorded when you obtain or discover an item for the first time. Catching a new fish, harvesting a new crop, cooking a new recipe, crafting a new item, or acquiring a new piece of furniture all count toward stamp progress. You do not need to hold onto the item permanently; obtaining it once is enough to register the discovery.

The Stamp Collection interface organizes items into six clearly labeled categories. Each category displays the items you have discovered alongside empty slots for those you have yet to find, giving you a clear picture of your progress. When you reach a milestone threshold within a category, a stamp icon lights up and you can tap it to claim your reward.

Categories

The Stamp Collection contains six categories, each tracking a different aspect of island life. Only the Gatherables and Crafting categories reward coins; the other four categories reward recipes, special animals, Everlasting Seeds, or blueprints.

Gatherables Stamps

The Gatherables category tracks how many unique natural resources you have collected. This includes ores, wood types, foraged materials, fish, bugs, and other gathered items. All three stamps reward coins.

Exploring the Moonlit Forest is one of the fastest ways to fill out Gatherables stamps, since it contains many unique resources that are not found elsewhere on the island.

Crafting Stamps

The Crafting category tracks how many unique items you have crafted at your various workstations. With five tiers and a maximum payout of 25,000 Coins at the final stamp, this is the single most lucrative stamp category for earning money.

The total potential from Crafting stamps alone is 52,000 Coins. Since you craft items throughout normal gameplay, many of these stamps fill themselves over time without any special effort.

Cuisine Stamps

The Cuisine category tracks how many unique dishes you have cooked. Instead of coins, each Cuisine stamp unlocks an exclusive cooking recipe that cannot be obtained any other way. There are at least five Cuisine stamps.

The exact number of dishes you need to cook to reach each stamp threshold is not displayed in advance. Cook as many different recipes as you can and check the Cuisine section periodically to claim your rewards.

Bio Research Stamps

The Bio Research category tracks your discoveries of fish, bugs, and animals in the Islandpedia. Instead of coins, Bio Research stamps reward special colored or rare animal variants that can be placed on your ranch.

Fishing is the primary way to push your Bio Research total higher, since there are many species spread across different seasons and weather conditions. Some fish only appear during rain. Bug catching also contributes. The colored sheep earned at 72 discoveries provide a guaranteed way to obtain these fleece colors without relying on random breeding outcomes.

Plants Stamps

The Plants category tracks crops and flowers you have grown, including hybrid flower colors obtained through cross-breeding. Collecting all base and hybrid flower colors (Red, Yellow, Blue, plus Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, and Purple hybrids) contributes to Plants stamp progress. Rewards from this category include Everlasting Seeds, which allow crops to regrow automatically after harvest without replanting.

Home Items Stamps

The Home Items category tracks furniture and decorations you have acquired, whether by crafting, purchasing from shops, or earning through other gameplay. Rewards from this category are blueprints for new furniture and decoration items.

Relationship to Other Systems

The Stamp Collection is part of the broader Islandpedia system on your phone. While the Islandpedia provides detailed descriptions and information about individual items you have discovered, the Stamp Collection focuses on tracking milestone progress and dispensing rewards. The two complement each other: the Islandpedia tells you about what you have found, while the Stamp Collection tells you what you still need to find.

Progress in the Stamp Collection also feeds into the StarNote Achievements system, with several achievements tied to completing specific stamp milestones.

Tips

• Check the Islandpedia Stamp Collection tab regularly. The submenu at the bottom of the Islandpedia screen is easy to overlook, and you may have unclaimed stamps waiting.

• Focus on Gatherables and Crafting stamps early if you need coins. These two categories provide the largest coin payouts.

• Cook every new recipe you learn, even if you do not need the food. Each unique dish brings you closer to the next Cuisine stamp and an exclusive recipe.

• Fish in every season and during rain to maximize Bio Research discoveries. Some fish species only appear under specific conditions.

• Explore the Moonlit Forest thoroughly. It contains many unique gatherable resources that quickly fill out the Gatherables category.

• Cross-breed flowers in all base color combinations to fill out the Plants category. Each new hybrid color counts as a separate discovery.
