To transport animals in Solarpunk, you need an Animal Receiving Station at your main base and use a one-time-use Animal Transport item to send animals from other islands back to that station.

How to Transport Animals: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Build the Animal Receiving Station
Construct an Animal Receiving Station at your main base and give it a clear name like “Main Base” so you can identify it when transporting.
Step 2: Explore Other Islands
Travel to other floating islands in the game and find animals you want to transport back to your base.
Step 3: Capture and Transport the Animal
Walk up to the animal, right-click it.
And select “Transport back to main base” from the menu.
The animal will jump onto the Animal Transport item.
Step 4: Animal Returns Instantly
The Animal Transport is a one-time-use item. Once the animal jumps on it, it immediately returns to your base, ready to live.
Critical Mistakes to Avoid
-
Don’t forget to craft multiple Animal Transport items — each is single-use, so craft several before starting animal collection.
-
Don’t skip vendor donations — you must follow through with vendor donations to unlock the Animal Transport (typically tier 3–4).
-
Don’t build the receiving station elsewhere — it must be at your main base for the transport to work correctly.
Tips for Completion
-
Craft several Animal Transport items beforehand to avoid running out during collection.
-
Name your receiving station clearly so you always know which base animals return to.
-
Keep progressing with vendor donations — this is the only way to unlock the transport system.
Getting animals back to your main base unlocks a cozy livestock system that boosts your survival gameplay—whether you’re collecting eggs, milk, or just building a thriving floating island community. With the Animal Receiving Station and one-time-use Animal Transport items, you can move creatures across islands instantly once you unlock the feature through vendor donations around tier 3–4.
