Starter & gameplay guides

Opening route: from face customization to your first field

Follow Ashani through the intro and face customization, then meet Mobai at the planet registry to register and name your planet.

• System choice: Hexia’s four-season grassland suits rotating crops; Tafa’s dry heat fits drought-hardy lineages and unique ecology. Pick the vibe you like.
• Day-one stamina: water first, then gather wild fruit, shells and flowers for starter cash — don’t burn all stamina chopping trees.
• Key items: Mobai’s intro quests gift the fishing rod and building kit — push them early.
• Priority: upgrade the watering can and craft basic sprinklers before anything fancy, then sink spare stamina into mining.

Don’t chase neighbor bonds on day one — build your production loop first; bond bonuses pay off mid-game.

Luca vitality & planet shaping

Luca vitality powers all reshaping. Plant Luca seeds in the flowerbed, grow Luca plants from gathered flowers and weeds, water them with the Luca bottle, and harvest Luca fruit.

• Luca fruit combines skies, meadows and coastlines freely — grid-free editing: raise, flatten, carve and sculpt.
• Plan lakes, mountains, forests and shorelines, and set your own lighting angle and weather cycle.
• Deeper neighbor bonds yield more Luca fruit and unlock more reshaping options.

Sketch the big layout (water flow, main district) before decorating — mass terraforming later means moving a lot of furniture.

Farming, fishing & the vivarium

Crop lineages match climate bands: rainy planets favor rice-style crops, high-sun planets suit melons and fruit. Planning bands well lifts output sharply.

• Vivarium flow: after fishing unlocks, collect 5 river fish for the tank, add insects to complete the chain, then claim the building kit.
• Processing bonus: with Yunguo’s bonus, process strawberries into jam before selling for +25%.
• Beachcombing & bugs: dusk beachcombing and rare bugs in storms/aurora nights are solid daily income.

Starsea voyages & the Galactic Bazaar

Board your little boat with helpers and sail to uncharted isles: new creatures, new encyclopedias, and materials to bring home.

• Voyage crew: neighbors assist differently at sea — Safeili’s route planning cuts travel time in half.
• The Bazaar: trade, co-create, visit friends, host star parties — no leaderboards, just a cozy hub.
• Weekly events: market stalls and “prettiest planet” contests are great sources of rare décor.

Raising neighbor bonds

Every neighbor has their own bond track and story. Talk daily, gift well, fish or picnic together, and greet them around town.

• Prioritize: Yunguo for farming, Yizuoqi for gathering, Mianduoli for story perks — spend gifts on the 3–5 neighbors that match your route.
• Moving in: high bonds let neighbors settle on your planet and unlock more interactions.
• Daily rhythm: gifting all 17 daily is a slog — rotate a core few and let the rest come naturally.
