11 Overview

33 The Train Station (officially called Starsand Station) is a key location in Starsand Island that connects the island to the broader world. It serves two major purposes: it acts as the central hub for the island's fast travel bus stop network, and it is the arrival point for crossover characters from the My Time series, specifically My Time at Portia and My Time at Sandrock.

55 The station does not function when you first arrive on the island. It must be rebuilt through a questline given by Solara, the island's community leader. Completing the station construction is a significant milestone that opens up both fast travel and new character interactions.

77 For a detailed step-by-step walkthrough of the building quest, see the Starsand Station article, which covers materials, NPC interactions, and each construction phase in full.

2121

2222 Once Starsand Station is rebuilt, it becomes the central node of the island's bus stop fast travel system. There are 10 fixed bus stop locations spread across the island. Each bus stop must be individually repaired before it becomes usable, but once active, you can teleport between any two repaired stops for a small gold fee.

2424 The fast travel system saves significant time, especially when traveling between distant locations like the mine, the beach, and your homestead. Repairing all bus stops should be a priority after completing the station.

4242 Unlike Ginger and Gust, Fang and Nia arrive without any notification. There is no mail, no quest marker, and no NPC dialogue hint. You simply need to remember to visit the Train Station on Autumn 1 to meet them. If you do not visit on that day, they will still be at the station when you eventually go, but it is best to greet them early so they integrate into the island community sooner.
