Know what to farm.
And where to go.

The story route unlocks new destinations and equipment, while repeat trips to islands replenish metals, food and wood. Farm plots require fresh water and protection from seagulls.

Reputation unlocks better bait
Sell the rare fish matched to your current bait tier at a Trading Post to earn reputation and open later bait stock; visiting the post alone will not advance that gate.
Sources & fact checks

Use a Metal Detector and Shovel at treasure signals on large islands; Trading Post purchases and story islands are other listed sources, so treasure contents need not always be titanium.
Sources & fact checks
Keep livestock fed with grass plots
Tamed Cluckers, Goats, and Llamas depend on watered Grass Plots for food; crop beds and flowers do not feed them. Their products differ by animal: eggs, milk, or wool.
