Here's a guide on finding Copper and watermelon in Solarpunk.

Game Guide by Groot on Jun 27, 2026

There is an island nearby in Solarpunk that has two items that are good to collect early in the game: Copper and Watermelon Seeds. This guide will tell you how to get there, what you will find there, and how to get back home.

What You'll Find on the Island

There are Copper Nodes to mine, Berry Bushes, Cotton Seeds, Raspberry Plants, and Watermelon Plants on the island. The copper node will also drop Sand and Stone on top of the copper ore. At this point, you don't need a lot of copper, so one stack of about 20 will suffice to bring back for now. The watermelon part of it is also interesting, as the plants will sometimes produce more seeds than they should.

Landing Your Airship

When approaching the island, press S to reduce the throttle and drift in at a low speed. Slowly descend the Airship with shift until it is close to the ground, then press E to dock. If you still aren't low enough after pressing E, hold shift for a bit longer to lower yourself further before pressing E again.

Gathering Resources

After landing, mine the Copper Node until you have a good pile to bring back. As you're there, pick up any Sticks and Stones on the ground too. Collect the Cotton Seeds, Raspberry and Watermelon Seeds as they do not require much space. You will be returning to this island more than once, so you don't have to empty it out on your first visit.

Heading Back to Base

When you're done, get back on your Airship and press the spacebar to lift off. Get some distance from the island first, then steer by moving your mouse in the direction of your base and head home.
