How to Get Fresh Bamboo Shoots in Starsand Island

Fresh bamboo shoots are located in the area around the panda's home on Starsand Island.

The area where the fresh bamboo shoots grow typically has longer grass than the surrounding areas.

The bamboo shoots grow close to the ground and are a similar shade of green, so they can be hard to spot. The easiest way to find them is by looking for the sparkles that appear next to items on the ground.

When you find a young bamboo shoot, approach it and press the F key when the prompt appears. This will pick up the bamboo shoot and place it in one of your bag's open slots. If you already have some in your pockets, the newly grabbed bamboo shoot will be stacked onto them.

After picking the young bamboo shoots, some will respawn in areas that you've already harvested. If you need more bamboo shoots than are respawning, the spawns will reset when the next day begins.
