How to Get Meat and Meat Bites in Starsand Island

A common concern for new players in Starsand Island is where to get all the Meat needed for cooking. The game is full of cute animals that players can interact with, pet, feed, and even raise on the farm, so no one wants to see them harmed just for a few pieces of Meat.

The good news is that acquiring Meat in Starsand Island is safe, non-violent, and easy. Players simply need to visit a specific store in the nearby town and ask an NPC for some protein-rich Meat and Poultry.

How to Get Meat

Players can visit Zerine’s General Store and buy Meat from the Ingredients section. At the moment, shopping is the main way to get all types of Meat, except for Meat Bites. Fortunately, butchering farm animals like Cows, Sheep, and Pigs is not part of Starsand Island.

Meat can also be found in some Treasure Chests or received as quest rewards and NPC gifts. However, these sources usually provide only small amounts and are unlikely to meet all cooking needs.

Meat Bites are nutritious byproducts from processing various types of Meat and are popular with both Starsand Town residents and animals. To get Meat Bites, players need to place pieces of Meat (Pork, Mutton, Fowl, or Beef) into a Separator. The device will process the Meat and produce a few Meat Bites within seconds.

How to Get a Separator

Players receive a Separator blueprint at Zerine’s General Store as part of the “Equipment Blueprint Pack.” They can then use their Worktable to craft it with basic materials such as Stone, Softwood, and Fiber.
