Overview
The Starsand Shop is a vendor located inside the Community Center in Starsand Town. It was added in patch 0.3.5809 (March 26, 2026) as part of the March content drop and has expanded its inventory through subsequent patches in the 0.3.x and 0.4.x branches. The shop sells exclusive items, cosmetics, tools, and collectibles using in-game Coins; no real-money transactions are involved. For players who have already unlocked all the early vendors (Lex Woodworks, Zerine's General Store, the Instrument Shop), the Starsand Shop is the newest source of content-drop items and one of the main reasons to return to the Community Center during mid and late game.
Location
The Starsand Shop is inside the Community Center building in Starsand Town. The same building also houses the Self-Service Terminal used to claim Deluxe Edition content, Kickstarter rewards, and compensation items such as the Shining Star Outfit Set. Enter the Community Center, head toward the inner hall, and look for the shop counter. The shop counter is staffed during Community Center open hours.
Inventory
The Starsand Shop's inventory has grown with each major patch since its introduction. Below is a list of items confirmed to be sold at the shop as of patch 0.4.8191 (April 16, 2026). Some items that were previously shown as sold elsewhere have been corrected to list the Starsand Shop as their official source; notable corrections are marked in the Notes column.

Tool | 0.3.6743 (Mar 31, 2026) | Multi-purpose tool that chops trees, mines ore, cuts grass, and harvests crops without damaging farmland. Replaces the need to carry separate axe/pickaxe/scythe tools for basic gathering. | |

Sun Wukong Outfit Set Details
The Sun Wukong Outfit Set is one of the flagship cosmetic drops sold at the Starsand Shop and a reference to the Monkey King from Chinese mythology. It was added in patch 0.3.6743 alongside the Golden Cudgel and is part of Seed Sparkle Lab's broader incorporation of Chinese cultural themes across Early Access (alongside the Chinese New Year Festival and the Rednote Collaboration). The set comprises armor pieces, a headband accessory, and a golden staff cosmetic; each piece can be worn independently or combined with other outfits.
Golden Cudgel Details
The Golden Cudgel is a multi-purpose gathering tool introduced in patch 0.3.6743. It is one of the most convenient tool upgrades available at the shop because it collapses four separate tool actions into a single item:
Chopping trees (replaces the Axe for basic logging).
Mining ore (replaces the Pickaxe for basic mining).
Cutting grass (replaces the Machete for basic weed and grass clearing).
Harvesting crops without damaging the tile.
The Golden Cudgel does not replace upgraded versions of specialized tools (such as the
The Golden Cudgel does not replace power tools such as the Electric Drill, Chainsaw, or electric shearer, which retain higher throughput on their specialized tasks. It is best used for daily light-gathering runs around your homestead so you only need one inventory slot for tools.
Cloud Surfer Source Correction
The Cloud Surfer vehicle was correctly sold at the Starsand Shop from the March 26 update onward, but its Islandpedia entry briefly displayed the wrong source. Patch 0.4.7081 and patch 0.4.7483 corrected the displayed source to Starsand Shop. If you added the Cloud Surfer to your wishlist during the launch window and could not find it at the listed vendor, check the Starsand Shop counter in the Community Center.

Tips
Check the Starsand Shop on every patch day. Its inventory has expanded with every major 0.3.x and 0.4.x patch since launch.
The Golden Cudgel is one of the best convenience purchases in the game; a single tool that replaces four separate gathering items. Budget for it as soon as you can afford it.
All items are purchased with in-game Coins. No real-money transactions are required. This keeps the shop in line with Seed Sparkle Lab's stated Early Access focus on avoid microtransactions.
The Self-Service Terminal is in the same building. If you bought the Deluxe Edition or are claiming the Shining Star Outfit Set compensation DLC, collect those from the terminal during the same visit.
