11Overview22Starsand Station is the central fast travel hub on Starsand Island. It functions as both a narrative landmark and the primary node in the island's bus stop network. Once built, the station enables players to instantly teleport between 10 fixed locations across the island for a small gold fee. Starsand Station is also where the crossover characters from the My Time series first arrive on the island.44Building Starsand Station Quest77Quick Reference99DetailInfoQuest TypeIsland Life Main QuestQuest GiverSolaraKey NPCsSolara, Yang (Railway Worker)Island Life RankIsland ProPrerequisitesComplete Starsand Port Construction for MarstonMain RewardUnlocks ability to repair bus stops for fast travel1111Prerequisites1212Reach the Island Pro rank in the Island Life phone app.Complete the Starsand Port Construction quest (help Marston build the Maritime Bureau at Half-Moon Bay).1414This quest typically triggers about one week into gameplay, after the player has progressed through the initial Island Life milestones.1616Step-by-Step Walkthrough1818Step 1: Talk to Solara2020Find Solara at or near the Community Center (she is usually there in the mornings). She explains that the island needs a train station and directs you to find Railway Worker Yang near the beach.2222Step 2: Find Yang2424Locate Yang near the beach at the station construction site. Speak with him to learn what materials and supplies are needed.2626Step 3: Cook 4 Soup Dumplings2828Yang asks you to feed the construction crew. Cook 4 Soup Dumplings and deliver them to Yang.

All stations are interconnected: once repaired, you can travel from any active stop to any other active stop. At least two stops must be operational before the system becomes usable.5454StopAreaNotesStarsand StationCentral hub, main townBuilt during the quest (no repair needed)East HopelandNear player's farmStandard materialsGreen PastureRanch areaStandard materialsExploration ClubNorthwest, near ZephyriaStandard materialsEast StarsandEastern islandStandard materialsCrane CapeCoastal areaStandard materialsAquaBlue OutpostSoutheast, near DelphinStandard materialsHalf-Moon BayPort area, near MarstonStandard materialsNorth StarsandNorthern islandStandard materialsCloudrest LakeMountainous inland areaUnique materials: uses Bamboo Boards instead of Softwood Planks5656Repair Materials5757Each bus stop must be individually repaired with materials before it becomes active.

This is a significant mid-game resource investment, so most players repair stops gradually as they explore new areas.6262Using the Network6464To use fast travel, walk to any operational bus stop and interact with it. A list of all other active stops appears, and you can select your destination for instant teleportation. You cannot fast travel from the map menu; you must physically be at a station to use the system.6666DetailInformationTravel CostApproximately 15 Gold per tripTravel TimeInstant teleportationRestrictionsMust be physically at a bus stop to use itMinimum RequirementAt least 2 stops must be active before the system works6868Progression Connection6969Starsand Station and the bus stop network are deeply integrated into the Island Life progression system. Building all 10 stations is one of the requirements for reaching the Starsand Legend rank, the final progression tier, which also unlocks access to Windflute Island.7171AchievementRequirementDescriptionGet on Board Now!Build your first bus stop"Toot toot! All aboard!"Road MasterBuild all 9 bus stops"Go wherever you want, whenever you want."7373For endgame players, Teleporters serve as an alternative to bus stops. Unlike the fixed bus stop locations, Teleporters can be placed anywhere on the island and are free to use. However, they require rare endgame materials including Eternal Alloy, a Perpetual Reactor, and a Spirit Cube III.7474Crossover Character Arrivals7676Starsand Station is the arrival point for all crossover characters from the My Time series:7878Gust and Ginger (My Time at Portia): Arrive on Summer 23rd after the station is built. The player receives mail from Solara about their visit and must go to the station to pick them up.Fang and Nia (My Time at Sandrock): Arrive on the first day of Autumn. Players must visit the station to find them.8080Moonlit Forest Fast Travel8282The Moonlit Forest has its own separate fast travel system using restored camps rather than bus stops. Camp fast travel is unlocked by repairing Moonweavers with Fluorite. The bus stop network does not extend into the Moonlit Forest; traveling between the main island and the forest requires going through a loading screen.8484Known Issues8686Quest keeps restarting: Some players have reported the quest reactivating after completion, with an "ask what's wrong" variant appearing days later. Completing it a second time resolves the issue.Flour bottleneck: Players who focused on crafting or exploration without developing farming may get stuck without Wheat. Use Fertilizer II as a workaround to grow Wheat quickly.8888Related Quests9090QuestRelationshipStarsand Port ConstructionMust be completed before this quest becomes availableNew Finny RoommatesUnlocks the Soup Dumplings recipe needed for this questBus Stop ReconstructionFollow-up activity that becomes available after this quest9292Tips9393Prioritize repairing the bus stop nearest your home first, then one near the mines or town center to cover your most frequent routes.The Soup Dumplings for the quest require Flour, which means you need access to Wheat and a Separator. If you have not unlocked flour production yet, plant Wheat early and use Fertilizer II to speed up growth.A Skateboard (crafted item) provides free movement speed across the island and complements the bus network well for shorter trips.Mounts can also be rented from NPCs for quick travel between nearby areas.Stock up on Flour early. Even if you are not pursuing the Farmer profession, grow Wheat and make Flour in advance. It is needed for this quest and many cooking recipes.Use Fertilizer II to speed Wheat growth. Fertilizer II (found from NPCs or in caves) reduces Wheat growth time to about 2 minutes, saving significant time.Build multiple Cutters. Softwood Planks are one of the most-used materials in the game. Running 2-3 Cutters in parallel saves a lot of time.Iron Sheets require Cutter II and Furnace II. Make sure you have progressed far enough in the Crafter profession or Zerine's shop to unlock these upgrades before starting.Soup Dumplings grant the Forest's Gift buff (chance to recover ammo and find ore chunks), making them useful beyond this quest, especially in the Moonlit Forest.
