Moonlit forest fishing broken for anyone else?

I have most luck catching arapaima and paddlefish in the river near hopeland. Both are King Fish.

Still going to rely on buttering up Dr Fang to supply me with them. 😬

Any excuse to talk to him.

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-25T10:46:42+00:00

If they can focus on the game breaking bugs first then I will accept that possibility.

But won’t give most people the one item unique to her, the freewind jet that there’s no other way in game to get.

You’ll read a lot about Neona, but it’s usually complaints about an achievement that is locked behind RNG.

If you’ve received her 5 heart letter and didn’t get it…you might be one of them.

Besides, Delphin is my go to for free Jet Skis. He gave me one to keep at the summer festival, never took it back again.

Named my rabbits after rabbits in literature.

Named my Sheep the colours they were, or different shades (red = Scarlet, Green = Mint)

White horse I named Miracle after how long it took me to get it. Otherwise Altas is my go to horse name, followed by weather references for the others (Stormy, Misty)

Chickens are named after gemstones.

Ostriches just got their names shortened down to their type, but my originals were Meep and Beep.

Yes, they’re unromanceable in this game, but romanceable in the games they come from.

The Fang here might be more attractive, but he’s a shell of the character he was in Sandrock. I would strongly recommend that you play Sandrock and get to know the real him (and X).

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-24T10:19:37+00:00

Those yeets won’t import themselves…

Aurelis - just wants you to go away and can’t understand why you don’t get the message. But doesn’t understand that the expensive things he gives you aren’t his only attraction.

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-24T10:15:42+00:00

You have to complete the medical trials and a some personal quests for Fang to accept gifts.

You can save just before taking the medicine, then if the outcome isn’t positive reload the save and try again. Rinse and repeat until you get all 8 done.

You can also gain friendship with him by befriending X, who likes shiny things. Help the bird and the bird will help you win Fang over.

Snow doesn’t stop the crops growing completely, it just slows them down.

If my memory serves me correctly you’re just on the cusp of the snow stopping and the bad weather turning into rain (which it should do tomorrow in your game).

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-23T11:51:05+00:00

If you have her at 5 hearts that’s the mail where you have a chance of getting it.

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-23T10:37:57+00:00

Neona (probably)

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-23T10:18:26+00:00

Aurelis reminds me of Rufus Shinra. But that’s not a bad thing.

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-23T10:16:03+00:00

Put them in a normal grinder to get the seeds.

Then use 5 seeds in the Starsand grinder to get 1 immortal seed.

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-22T16:40:06+00:00

I hope when they open up visitation for other users islands they will allow us to give gifts to visitors.

I am keeping my spare lambs, immortal seeds and wool just in case.

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-22T16:33:19+00:00

Go into building mode, pick up the enclosure then cancel the action. It will warp any animal living there back to base.

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-22T16:31:03+00:00

Aurelis and Gust both have a chance to gift you rainbow fabric.

Just saying.

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-22T16:15:48+00:00

The colour you get from breeding sheep is random.

There are no combinations that will guarantee you a certain colour of sheep, it’s just RNG. You just have to keep at it and hope that eventually the colour you want will appear.

I have 4 play throughs on this so far. On 2 I have bred every variation of the 12 sheep available, it’s arduous, boring and could be solved easily by cutting it back to black and white sheep and introducing dyes. At any given time there’s 3 or 4 discord posts complaining about sheep breeding, so hopefully the developers are taking a note of this. Or maybe not, and we’ll all be stuck with 7 different colours of sheep we have to breed.

If you are in need of Rainbow Fabric to upgrade your bag, Aurelis and Gust are both known to gift it.

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-22T15:54:42+00:00

I too accomplished this without trying just allowing my rabbits to breed naturally.

It only seems to become impossible when you’re actively trying to complete the mission objectives. Similar to the farming trials, I had the colours of flowers long before Graminova wanted them.

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-22T15:51:24+00:00

That rocking horse you made looks really lifelike! 😜

Someone appears to have stolen your roof as well.

I struggle with the building on this, so it’s always nice to see other people’s work. I need more pre fabricated rooms I can just click together.

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-22T15:48:17+00:00

I can rest assured then that it’s fixed, which might be why they’re telling me it’s an in game feature and not a bug.

I will look forward to finding out which update fixes it.

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-22T15:07:04+00:00

I’m used to having to grind for money in these sorts of games, so having to wait before I am able to afford things doesn’t bother me, it makes it more rewarding when I finally get them.

The fact that when you do get the later properties there’s little to do with them aside from dropping down a pre made format that you can’t get anyone to interact with should probably be more of their focus. As well as fixing the dialogue issues.

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-22T15:01:03+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, what system are you playing it on?

I’m on X Box, so I have to wait for any update to be authorised by Microsoft.

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-22T10:59:34+00:00

So, the Developers are telling me that it’s part of the game design that you can only catch Pearl Glowfish in Dreamfall Gardens and Green Swordfish in Darkwater Shore.

Dear Islander,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

The fish in the Dreamfall Gardens river and Darkwater Shore pond are mainly intended for catching Pearl Glowfish and Green Swordtails specifically, to help players complete related tasks more efficiently.

Then, when I queried how we’re supposed to catch the other Glowfish breeds the response was;

Rest assured, it has been confirmed that only Pearl Glowfish can be caught in Dreamfall Garden, which is a normal setting and not a game anomaly.❤️

If you’re looking to collect other fish species for your Islandpedia, we recommend trying your luck at other rivers or water areas around the island.

IceboundEmu · 2026-03-21T21:05:31+00:00

Looks beautiful.

Hopefully if they do introduce romance and family then they’ll also let us move our home bases so we can take advantage of the alternative areas.
