Beach Island Update

New Island

Since our amazing Kickstarter backers helped us reach our stretch goal, we have delivered this free Beach Island update! So don't thank us for this new island; thank the fantastic people who helped get us this far!

Let's Go to the Beach!

A new island has been attracted to the pull of your Ranch's Island Gem Heart. Now that it's attached, it won't let go anytime soon, so you may as well lay claim to it! Build the Sky Elevator to the South of your ranch to get access to this beach paradise that any Skylet would love to holiday to!

Full of Sun loungers, tropical trees and even an old pirate ship crash! This new land is yours to do with as you please. Your new Deep Water and Sand terraforming spells will fit the island aesthetic perfectly! But if you'd rather make this a rocky, muddy swamp for your favourite skylets instead, that's up to you!

5 New Skylets

The appearance of this Beach, along with your Deep Water and Sand-based spells, has attracted 5 New Skylets to your Ranch!

The rare Pebble, Pippin, Ashfur, Murkfin and even the Mythical Nessi can all be befriended on your ranch now that it has grown bigger!

They all love deep waters and hot sands to varying degrees; you'll have to play around with your island composition to work out their perfect habitats.

Left to Right: Nessi, Pippin, Pebble

These new Skylets aren't confined to the beach island either! Cast your newest terraforming spells anywhere on your Sky Island to befriend your new Skylets wherever you like.

New Fishing Rewards and Recipes!

The new island has a brand new fishing spot! Fishing is the perfect way to unwind after a busy day and find a steady supply of food for your meat-eating Skylets.

This salty water brings a new food source for your ever-growing list of Skylet needs - who knew these Skylets could be such picky eaters?

New Jello and Sandcrabs can only be caught in this salty seawater, so cast your line and see how many you can catch!

These new fish bring with them a whole new cookbook of recipes for you to discover! Try chopping, squishing, grilling, and mixing them with other ingredients from your Ranch to see what these new Skylets want to eat most!

Crab Sticks, Dragon Delight and more to be discovered by your cooking prowess! (This is an Eggy Stuffed Bulbfish, nothing new here 👀)
