You need to find Common Ore Chunk in Starsand Island for the chance to extract Ancient Precision Parts at the Ore Analyzer. However, this material can be a little tricky to find, as there's no such thing as Common Ore mining veins in the game. Instead, you have to mine other veins with your pickaxe, and even then it's not guaranteed you'll get Common Ore Chunks from them.
To help you keep making Ancient Precision Parts, this guide explains exactly how to get Common Ore Chunk in Starsand Island, including tips on the best mining veins to hit for the best chance of getting more Common Ore Chunk.

How to Get Common Ore Chunk in Starsand Island
You get Common Ore Chunk by mining veins like Copper, Fluorite, Tin, and Quartz with your pickaxe in Starsand Island, but you're not always guaranteed to get Common Ore Chunk from a mining vein — it's a random drop. So in order to build up a stack, you'll just have to get lucky while mining for other materials.
We've found that lower-rarity mining veins like Copper and Tin have the best chance to drop Common Ore Chunks in the early game of Starsand Island. So if you're running low, you might want to prioritize mining these common veins first.
There are plenty of mining veins in the Moonlit Forest, but you can only use your pickaxe to mine if you have enough Stamina. So if you're planning a long trip into the Moonlit Forest, we recommend going in with full Stamina and meals that can restore Stamina when you're low. You can also sit down and rest at places like the wooden chair swing at your house to slowly restore Stamina without consuming food.
You also need to upgrade your pickaxe, and find things like Luminwing Butterflies and Gravestars from Gravemites in Starsand Island to open locked paths and go deeper into the Moonlit Forest. So unless you've been playing for a while, you won't be able to mine for very long periods in the forest, even if you do bring meals.
What is Common Ore Chunk Used For in Starsand Island?
Common Ore Chunks are used at the Ore Analyzer to get Ancient Precision Parts in Starsand Island, but the Ore Analyzer can also return common materials like Copper and Tin. It's another random drop, so just like when getting Common Ore Chunks, you'll just have to try your luck by continuing to analyze for the chance to get more Ancient Precision Parts.
Ancient Precision Parts are an important item to craft if you want to make items like Rollerskates, Sculptures, Woodcarvings, and other items under the "Crafting" menu at your Worktable.
