Gameplay
What you do in Petit Planet
Grow your planet
Mobai gives you a Luca Seed that grows into the Luca Arbor. Leveling the tree grows your planet and unlocks rewards.
Farm, fish & forage
Farming, cooking, foraging, beachcombing, fishing and bug catching — then sell what you gather.
Build & decorate
Craft furniture from Idea Cards, shop at Loomi Home Shopping and Glenn's Shop, and place or share layouts with Starlight Blueprints.
Sail the Starsea
Starsea Voyages take you to other islands for resources — and to recruit new neighbors.
Live with neighbors
Animal neighbors move in, visit and write letters (Echoes of Star Notes). Donate finds to Mors's Omni-Gallery.
Meet other players
Visit friends' planets and gather at the Galactic Bazaar for music, rhythm and card games.
