PC / Global, full release 1.0 (Sep 23, 2025)
WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Resource nodes in Rainbow Fields, Starlight Strand, and Ember Valley.

Rainbow Island’s regions do not share the same resource profile. Use the Resource Harvester and choose a destination based on the material a Fabricator recipe needs: Deep Brine in Rainbow Fields, Wild Honey in Starlight Strand, and Lava Dust around Ember Valley lava are among the documented targets. Radiant Ore appears in glowing nodes. Bring gathered resources back to the Refinery.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • A crafted and installed Resource Harvester.
  • Access to the region holding the material you need.
  • Vacpack capacity for the materials on your collection list.
  1. Check a Fabricator recipe and write down the resource input still missing.
  2. Travel to Rainbow Fields when Deep Brine is the target and search water-edge nodes.
  3. Choose Starlight Strand for Wild Honey and inspect visible resource-bearing hives.
  4. Travel to Ember Valley for Lava Dust near lava, or locate glowing nodes for Radiant Ore.
  5. Harvest the nodes with the Resource Harvester and keep materials in the Vacpack.
  6. Return to the Conservatory and deposit the haul in the Refinery.
  7. Repeat with a different destination only if another recipe calls for its regional material.

Farming tips

  • Choose the region from the material name on the recipe rather than roaming without a collection goal.
  • Keep resource types organized in your plan so you can tell when a recipe’s requirements are met.

Repeat, collect and use

Resource collection is repeatable as needed for crafting. Individual node availability and quantities are not guaranteed here; collect what is present and return if more is required.

Common mistakes

  • Using the wrong region for a target; match destinations to the named resource.
  • Trying to vacuum nodes without the Resource Harvester; install the upgrade first.
  • Continuing to gather after the recipe requirement is met; return to deposit and craft before starting another run.

When to stop or switch

End the trip when you have enough of the target resource for the selected recipe or need to empty the Vacpack at the Refinery.
