The Starlight Strand region of Rainbow Island in Slime Rancher 2 can is divided into two winding sections, making it challenging to navigate through without Map Data Nodes for guidance. These nodes serve as points of interest that unlock visibility on the world map, similar to the Statues of the Seven in Genshin Impact. While it is possible to traverse the land by memorization of landmarks and terrain, getting through Rainbow Island’s complex topography and verticality through rote learning will be a headache for most players. Therefore, finding all the Map Data Nodes of Starlight Strand is essential for efficient exploration in Slime Rancher 2.
