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.
