Heartopia Meteor Shower Guide: All Starfall Shard Locations and Rewards
The night sky over Onsen Mountain has transformed! With the latest 2026 update, the Heartopia meteor shower has become the most anticipated weather event in the game.
Unlike regular rain or rainbows, this rare cosmic event brings unique gameplay mechanics, exclusive currency called Starfall Shards, and a limited-time vendor named Doris who only appears while the stars are falling.
Understanding the Heartopia Meteor Shower Mechanics
Before you head into the mountains, you need to know when and where the event occurs.
How to Predict a Meteor Shower
The Heartopia meteor shower is not random. You must check your in-game watch or phone forecast regularly. Look for the shooting star icon. The event typically begins at 6:00 PM server time and lasts until 6:00 AM the following morning, though the special mining nodes only appear once the first meteors hit the ground.
The Legend of Astralis Blessing
During the event, players often report a surge in "Astralis energy." While similar to the Rainbow Blessing which boosts foraging quality, the Heartopia meteor shower environment specifically enables the spawning of nine unique Starfall Ore nodes.
All 9 Heartopia Starfall Shard Locations
During every Heartopia meteor shower, exactly nine meteorites land across the Onsen Mountain region. You will need a pickaxe to mine them and collect Starfall Shards in various colors: white, yellow, purple, and blue.
North Hills and Highland Spots (Locations 1-3)
- North Hills Slopes: Two shards land on the grassy high-ground northern slopes. You will need to do some light climbing to spot their glowing ores.
- Onsen Peak: One shard typically lands near the highest accessible rock formations.
Lakeside and Pine Forest (Locations 4-7)
- Central Lake Edges: Look near the small docks and flat rocks by the water for three scattered shards.
- Pine Forest Shadows: Two ores are tucked under dense tree canopies. Watch for their bright glow reflecting off the trunks at night.
Main Road and Settlement (Locations 8-9)
Onsen Bus Stop Path: The final two shards are conveniently located near the main path and the bus stop, making them easy to grab on your way to find Doris.
Finding Doris and the Fortune Store
Doris is the key to spending your hard-earned shards. During a Heartopia meteor shower, she leaves her usual Art Street spot and relocates to Onsen Mountain.
Doris's Location at Onsen Mountain
You can find Doris waiting near the Onsen Mountain bus stop or the festival hub, usually standing near a campfire under the falling stars. She will only trade with you while the event is active, so don't wait until the sun comes up!
Exclusive Rewards and Achievement
Doris offers a "Meteorite" series of furniture, including a stunning meteor shower room, chandeliers, and sinks.
⭐ Top Priority: Purchase the "Wish Upon Shooting Stars" emote for 6 shards.
🏆 Rare Achievement: Use this emote with a friend precisely when a huge meteor passes by to unlock the "Beneath the Meteor Shower" badge for your player card.

Pro Tips for Starfall Success
To maximize your efficiency during the Heartopia meteor shower, keep these tips in mind:
💼 Inventory Space
Shards come in multiple colors and don't always stack perfectly. Clear your bag before the event starts.
🚴 Speed is Key
Use a bicycle or transport to move between the 9 locations quickly before the 6:00 AM server reset.
⭐ Collect 60 Shards
Harvesting 60 total shards across multiple events will grant you the "Stardust Collector" achievement and the "Star Picker" title.
Shopping & Saving Strategy
Make the most of your Starfall Shards with these smart strategies:
🔄 Shard Conversion
If you don't have enough of a specific color shard, you can use white ore for proportional conversion.
💎 Stockpile Mechanism
Starfall Shards do not disappear after the event ends and can be accumulated across sessions. If you can't afford the 20-shard Shower Room this time, save up and wait for the next Heartopia meteor shower.
🏆 Achievement Completion
One meteor shower yields approximately 35 shards. To earn the "Star Picker" title, you need to collect 60 total shards, which typically requires participating in two Heartopia meteor shower events.
