Tips & Tricks

Below level 17: only construct the buildings required by quests to swiftly progress through the tutorial quests at the beginning of the game.
Destroy your more expensive mines (e.g. Gold Mines) before they cave in to get some of the construction resources back.

If your storage is full, surplus resources (excluded are resources from production buildings) will be transferred to your star menu.

Let a friend send you resources by trade when your storage is full.
Settlers: you can store Settlers in the Harbor production queue; you can cancel the queued productions in the Harbor once you reach your population limit to transfer the Settlers to your star menu.

Quests

If you need to buff a friend and the buff is not specified: simply refill one of your friend’s deposits (e.g. use 1 Fill up Wheatfield per required buff on one of your friend’s Wheatfields).
Quests with the task “Gather or produce”: the “Gather” option counts resources from adventures, expeditions, explorers and trading with other players, but also from transferring resources from you star menu to your storage.

Treasure search loot can contain event resources although the explorers were sent off before the event start: log in at the start of the event, then log out and wait for at least 15 minutes before you log in again; explorers who return after the waiting period will find event resources on treasure searches.
Flower Farms and Pumpkin Cemeteries still produce resources during the removal phase of the event.

The amount of Experience Points from loot boxes does not depend on your level at production time, but on your level at the time you open it; keep the boxes in your star menu and open them at a higher level to get more Experience Points for the same amount of Star Shards.
Only produce the amount of Starfall items required by quests: you will not be able to use more items than required (exception: S.C.R.A.P.P.E.R. Lubricants).
The time period for completing repeatable quests is short: time the start of a quest by completing the previous quest at a time that suits you, if possible.
