Android: Clearing Game Data To Free Up Storage Space

If you noticed that your Starlight game is taking up a huge chunk of space on your device, maybe it is time to clear and re-download the game data to free up some storage space.

As you play the game, miscellaneous game data are stored in your device (logs, video ads etc). These data chunks accumulate over time and it would be a good idea to spring clean your device once in a while.

The 2 methods I use to clear unwanted app space are clearing Cache and clearing Data.


Clear Cache

Refer to a previous guide here on how to clear your game cache.


Clear Data

Please make sure you have a strong Wifi connection before proceeding to clear your game data. Re-downloading all the app updates is quite data hungry!


1) Close your game and go to your device Settings and select Apps / Applications Manager

2) Tap on Starlight

3) For newer devices you may need to tap on the Storage option

4) Click on Clear Data

5) After you click on Clear Data, you should see that the counter for Data is reset to 0.00 B.

6) Launch Starlight and it will automatically re-download all the app updates. After you log into Starlight, check back and you should see that the game now takes up considerably less storage space on your device!

If you do not clear your data periodically, you may sometimes find that the game takes up a lot of space. Some players have complained about their game being more than 1GB!

Here are some other screenshots from my tab to show how much space I could free up by clearing data:

Before cleating game data: 378 MB

After clearing game data: 261MB
That's a difference of 117MB!

For iOS Users

Unfortunately for iOS users, you have to manually delete and reinstall the app to free up storage space.

For more details, refer to Step 2 of the guide on Macworld here.

For Android users, the same effect also applies if you delete and re-install the app from Google Play.

Ameku Firefly Event: Moth Set and Deco Abilities

Moth Set

#115 Buck's Plume Moth

#116 Pearly Wood-nymph

#117 Major Sallow

#118 Ceanothus Silkmoth

#119 Giant Leopard Moth

Decoration Rewards & Abilities

A cosmetic deco that lets your moth fly at superman speeds!

****

This deco lets you re-roll your current mission to another mission in the same tier (Easy, Intermediate or Hard). For more information on how missions in Starlight work, refer to this guide.

This deco is perfect to raise your chances of landing on a Zodiac flower mission!

(Only use this deco BEFORE you send a moth out on a mission. If you use the deco after you begin your mission, your game may be bugged and you will lose the moth.)

Lets you save a bit of time hatching your eggs, but with good time management this deco is not necessarily a must have.

Limited Store Purchase

Available during the Ameku Event only

Considering that 5 event fireflies already cost 50 Glowbucks, this store purchase seems to be a pretty sweet deal for collectors who want a copy of everything!

This decoration ability allows you to swap between the blue glowing mushrooms and orange chanterelles in your forest.

The chanterelles look yummy... but I still prefer the blue glowing mushrooms as they fit the night theme perfectly. xD

Happy Starry Fluttering~! ♥

Ameku Event Update. What's New In v1.34

(This post is backdated to the day of game update.)

Yay~! 'Spoiler' event banners are back for this update! We get to have a sneak peek of some of the pretty moths that will be released in the coming Ameku Event! <3

New game logo

I <3 Sunflowers! 

Flutterpedia Updates

The Flutterpedia is updated with a new section for the Ameku event decoration rewards.

The Summer Special Shop Pack will be available in the shop during the event too.

Save up some Glowbucks if you think you want to buy it! 

(Previous event hampers were priced at 100 Glowbucks.) 

Game Updates

Here is a summary of what is new in the update:

GUI Updates

I might have missed this out during the previous update in v1.33, but the Visiting Moth icon has a new remake! I think this is pretty neat. xD

Not sure if it is a bug, but there might have been changes to the Visiting Moth system, because I got these 2 visitors over 2 consecutive days even when I did not buy any eggs. I will update the Visiting Moths guide when I find out more.

Language Updates

My wish has been heard! *throws confetti* We can now choose our preferred language for Starlight! To change your language, just tap the Gear icon to open up your Settings menu, and click on Language.

Sweet huh? xD

Removal of Offers Wall

Kere Harding from Flutter Dynasty gave us a heads up that Runaway has decided to take down the Offers Walls form Starlight.

Screenshot by Kere Harding

This applies to v1.34 onwards, so if you have not updated your game from Google Play or the App Store, this is you last chance to earn some free Glowbucks from the Offers Wall before we all have to move on with the new game version.

We will miss the Offers Wall icon~ :(

Hopefully Runway will come up with other features for FTP players to earn some free Glowbucks in future. 

Happy Starry Fluttering~! ♥

Joya Wisp Event: Moth Set and Deco Abilities

This event started one hour after the weekend bonus ended. (Sunday 18 June, 4PM PST) The calendar is unable to show the start of the event due to the weekend bonus which took up the calendar spot.

Moth Set

#110 Colorful Tortrix Moth

#111 Princely Tiger Moth

#112 Bullseye Moth

#113 Brazilian Day-flying Moth

#114 Eyetailed Moth

Decoration Rewards & Abilities

You don't need this deco if you refer to the Wiki page for a list of missions and their required moths, but it is still handy for those who are lazy to look for the correct moth on their own. xD

After you activate this ability, the game only zooms into a valid moth in your forest, you still have to fly the selected moth to the mission branch yourself.

****

This is undoubtedly one of the important decorations that helps to speed up the collection of Zodiac flowers.

*****

The 5th free Egg Layer, an all time favourite ability~

Joya Event Update. What's New In v1.33.

(This post is backdated to the day of game update.)

Unfortunately no official 'spoilers' were released this time round. No new game icon, no promotional banners, no sneak peeks, no forest makeover previews... Only a sad lonely Flutterpedia segment for new event decorations:

But we do get to see some new stuffs in the game~! Some of them are listed in the game update description:

Yay for new languages~! Currently the language for your Starlight game is based on your device's language settings. It would be great if we could actually select the language we want in the game, instead of having to switch our default language in our device...

Beetle Bank Update:

The Beetle Bank from the Flutter: Butterfly Sanctuary is brought over to Starlight! For each day you check-in on your Starlight calendar, you get free Glowbucks added into your Beetle Bank stash!

You can cash out your Glowbucks in your Beetle Bank through the shop. And yes, it requires real money to claim them:

Price in SGD

The good news is, the price seems to stay the same even after collecting a bunch of Glowbucks. It would be actually quite nifty to pay a dollar to withdraw few hundreds of Glowbucks from the Beetle Bank savings~! 

Hopefully the price to withdraw Glowbucks don't increase... xD

Game User Interface Updates

~Wisp Events~

Wisp labels are no longer blank for old wisps. (boo... T_T)

This is bad news for those who like to hoard wisps during events, as older and existing wisps in your forest keep their labels even after the game is reloaded, this means you can no longer differentiate between newly produced wisps from the old ones via their labels anymore. You will just have to keep your eyes glued to your screen to see where the new wisps fly to in your forest.

Tho I guess this change makes the game look neater? xD

~Friends Tab~

Points for social activities (gifting and sharing moths on Facebook etc) have a new look:

I am too lazy to update the other guides to include this new look, so I guess the globe icons in my old screenshots and guides for Social Levels will stay purple for now. xD 

~Others~

Some other GUI updates include a new gear icon for the Settings menu, as well as a new interface for the news segment. 

Happy Starry Fluttering~! ♥

Weekend Bonus: Moth Mania (Visiting Moths)

Event Timer

Bonus Effects:

1. Visiting Moths from past events will appear in your forest until the event is over
2. From 11 October 2017 onwards, any visiting moth bought will be fully leveled. 

Notes:

Each Visiting Moth will stay in your forest for an hour before disappearing.

You will only get a Visiting Moth if you are in your game. If you are offline, the effects don't apply.

The Visiting Moth that you will get is random.

You need to have a Flutterpedia score of 1225 and above to be able to receive visitors.

Only undiscovered moths that are not registered in your Flutterpedia will visit. If you buy an egg and did not raise it into an adult in time before the next visitor, it is possible to get the same visitor again since technically you do not have that moth in your Flutterpedia yet. (However, it is not worth it to buy a 2nd copy of the same visitor because the eggs are overpriced. You can buy eggs from an adult moth for half the price of a visiting moth.)

For a more in-depth guide on visiting moths, read this guide. To see details of past event, moths sets and decoration abilities, click here.

To look at the frequency of Weekend Bonus events, refer to the Calendar Archives. To see all types of Weekend Bonus, check the List of Guides.
