Starsand Island Vehicles & Mounts: Bikes, Jet Ski, Horses
Vehicles in Starsand Island are a bigger system than the tutorial suggests: the developer’s own count is “over 40 rideable items, including 10+ craftable vehicles, various water and air mounts, and 20+ rideable animal companions”, most of which accept modifications such as jets and wheel upgrades. This page lists every vehicle, mount and transport that is named in an official or data source, where it comes from and what it costs when a price is known. Where our sources name a vehicle but not its price or unlock, we say so rather than fill the gap.
Shop names, recipes and the ferry fare are from the game’s data and Early Access reports; vehicle names from patch notes span EA 0.2 through 1.08.3916. We have no 1.0-specific vehicle list yet.
Where vehicles come from
| Source | What it gives | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| G-Power Bike (Starsand Town) | The vehicle shop on the town map | Patch notes refer to “Tuk-Tuk blueprints… in the vehicle shop” (restored 0.4.9467); individual bike prices are not in our sources |
| Crafting | Jet Ski and other craftable vehicles at the Worktable | Jet Ski: Mini Reactor 4 + Rubber 10 + High-Performance Wire Set 10 + Premium Wood Plank 10 + Starflare Crystal 10, Worktable II |
| Rentals | Mount rentals (EA log #5 fixed rentals expiring early); Golden Reindeer rental vehicle; Delphin’s jet-ski rental at the Beach Festival | Rented reindeer return to their spot when the rental ends, even from the Moonlit Forest |
| DLC | Pumpkin Carriage (Deluxe Edition / Classic European Furniture, Fashion & Vehicles DLC, $19.99) | A carriage-crafting DLC interface is also referenced |
| Ranching | Rideable animals once bred or bonded | See mounts below |
| Quest / exploration | Luna Deer (Moonlit Forest), Moonlight Divine Deer (final boss altar) | See mounts below |
Everything with a blueprint is also tracked in the Codex; patch 0.5.3241 fixed unlocked vehicles showing as quantity 0 there.
Vehicles named in official sources
| Vehicle | Type | What the sources say |
|---|---|---|
| Retro scooter / scooter | Land | Steam store text; patch fixed it floating downhill |
| Motorcycle | Land | Patch: front model shifting on temple stairs |
| Longboard / skateboard | Land | Store text (“glide along pristine coastlines on a longboard”); patch fixed flip animation after jumps |
| Rollerblades | Land | Patches: capybara petting while wearing them; missing ruins sound |
| Hoverboard | Land/air | Several patches (stuck mid-air, reset after terrain jumps); listed as a Kickstarter stretch goal in one summary |
| Tuk-Tuk | Land | Blueprint sold at the vehicle shop |
| Modified SU7 | Car | Patch 0.3.3595 fixed its roof-modification icon |
| Carriage / Pumpkin Carriage | Land | Carriage sound fix; pumpkin carriage is DLC |
| Golden Reindeer | Rental | Helmets, water and return-position fixes |
| Snoring Bear | Mount | Patch 0.5.1822 (floating, tail light) |
| Waverider, Cloud Surfer | Water | Effects fixed above the houseboat pool; Waverider dismount bug fixed |
| Jet Ski (in-game “yacht”) | Water | Craftable (recipe above); festival race rental — the patch notes say “yacht rental”/“yacht racing”, the community says jet ski; almost certainly the same item |
| Houseboat | Water / home | Counted as a vehicle in patch notes; duplication and retrieval bugs fixed |
| Air mounts | Air | Confirmed only by the developer’s “water and air mounts” line and the “Soaring High” achievement (3.2% of players); no named model in our sources |
The Steam store page also promises sailing “to uncover the secrets of nearby islands” and a coastal highway to cruise — which is where the bike and car line matters.
Fast travel: Teleporter, ferry, stations
- Teleporter: blueprint 35,000g at Zerine’s General Store (Expert tier), built at Worktable III from Eternal Alloy 4 + Perpetual Reactor 1 + Spirit Cube III 1. Two of them link; a Steam community tip is to place one on your boat. Spirit Cube and Perpetual Reactor chains are on the machines page.
- The Parrot (ferry): runs from Starsand Port to the three outer seas — Luminwave (north), Celestwave (south-west), Coral Sea (south-east) — after you finish the port construction and Delphin’s 30-grape quest. Fare: sources disagree, 10g in an early build versus 30 coins in most reports; budget about 30 per trip. Outer-sea fishing is on the fishing guide.
- Stations: a “Starsand Station construction” quest exists (its turn-in bug was fixed in 0.3.2537), and buying Windflute Island requires ten stations built — see the expand farm guide.
- Moonlit Forest camps have their own teleport network once each camp’s Moonweaver stone is repaired — covered on the Moonlit Forest page.
Mounts and rideable animals
The developer lists pigs, horses, ostriches and alpacas among “over 20” rideable companions unlocked by bonding. From the animal data and patch notes:
| Mount | How to get | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Horse, White Horse, Black Horse | Green Pasture Ranch 1,350g (Senior Rancher) / breeding | Horses can carry a jump-speed gene |
| Ink Horse | Breeding | Two riders; rideable on water (patch fixed remount on water) |
| Puffhog (pig variant) | Breeding | Rideable |
| Pyrox (cow variant) | Breeding | Walks on water, rideable; King-tier cow, sheep and alpaca have mount skills |
| Cloud Sheep | Ultra-rare breeding result | Rideable |
| Ostrich, Alpaca | Green Pasture Ranch 2,750g (Expert) | Official rideables; a patch fixed them getting stuck |
| Luna Deer | Moonlit Forest | Cannot be bred; restored after a loss bug in 0.2.0780 |
| Moonlight Divine Deer | Defeat the final boss, then the altar at Moonlight Meadow | ”Legendary Friend” achievement (32.4%) |
Variants and breeding rules are on the animal breeding guide. Pets (cats, dogs, the capybara) are not mounts, though a patch fixed cats and dogs being unable to ride vehicles together — see the pets guide.
Things the patch notes tell you about riding
- Vehicles and mounts parked in the wilderness once vanished; fixed.
- NPCs who follow you while you are mounted could get stuck in buildings; fixed.
- Time used to keep passing in the quest screen while mounted; fixed.
- Mounts have a jump input; a rapid double-jump exploit was removed.
- Multiplayer 1.08.3916 fixed the host’s state syncing wrongly on certain vehicles.
- Achievements to aim for: “A Knight’s Ride” (83%), “Get on Board Now!” (27.1%), “Road Master” (15.6%), “Starsand Racer — there’s nothing I can’t drive” (6.9%), “Soaring High” (3.2%). Full list on the achievements guide.
How do I rent a jet ski?
During the Beach Festival (Summer 25–27) Delphin provides rental jet skis; start the timed race at the scoreboard out on the water. Players reported the race and stalls missing at the first 1.0 festival (August 21 reports) — see festivals. Outside the festival, craft one.
What is the fastest way to get around early?
Our sources do not rank vehicle speeds or list individual bike prices, so we will not guess. The documented affordable routes are rentals and a horse at 1,350g from Green Pasture Ranch (Senior Rancher); Teleporters are an Expert-tier luxury.
Is there a White Horse mount and how do I get it?
Yes — it is a horse colour variant from breeding, tied to the Senior Rancher training quest. Details on the breeding guide.
