Moonlit Forest is confirmed as an explorable area, but the current official material does not publish a dependable iron, magnetite, or moonstone route.
The current official Version 1.0 material does not publish verified locations for iron, magnetite, or moonstone. It also does not give the tool requirements, crafting recipes, gate sequence, camp route, or ore respawn timer needed for a dependable Moonlit Forest guide.
What is confirmed
- Moonlit Forest is an explorable area in the released game.
- Official patch notes continue to reference travel between Starsand Island and Moonlit Forest, so the area is part of the current build rather than an abandoned Early Access concept.
- The official sources checked here do not map individual ore nodes or publish a material-by-area table.
That evidence is enough to confirm the area, but not enough to tell a player where a named ore spawns or which tool opens the next section.
Unverified route details
Some third-party routes assign iron to Dreamfall Garden, magnetite to Mural Valley, and moonstone to Serenity's Rest or Moonlight Meadow. They also name pickaxe tiers, an Impact Hammer recipe, Ruins Keys, repaired camps, and a Luna Deer route. The available aggregation mixes Early Access material, community reports, and other guides without current claim-by-claim evidence, so those details cannot be treated as Version 1.0 instructions.
The same limitation applies to respawn advice. Without a current official timer or a recorded Version 1.0 test, a daily-reset claim would be guesswork.
What this means for a current save
Do not spend rare materials on a tool recipe or plan a long forest run from the removed table. Check the live item description and map state in the same platform build you are playing. Console and PC patches may also arrive at different times, as the developer noted around the Version 1.0 launch.
Return to the Starsand Island hub or read the Version 1.0 first-week confirmed systems and unknown limits. Neither page supplies an unverified progression sequence.
