Hang on, it may not be so bad. I just bred one dragon in the rift - I got 25 dust just for hitting the breed button, then another 60 when I sold the resulting ice dragon. 85 for one vanilla hybrid isn't too shabby. If you usually breed 8-12 per day in the rift, plus whatever you've got going in the main park, plus the star collection, it'll add up fast.
[Edited to add: I had nothing in my daily counter when I started, and now I have 85 just from that breeding. I see other people posting smaller numbers in the main park - maybe the rift is worth more?]

I hatched a Bronze dragon and it was worth 150 stardust. A platinum was worth 200 stardust, as was a rift Shield (which was of course, NOT in my main game). Misfortune is worth 120.
I was getting Stardust for initiating Rift breeds... sometimes. Not every time. Like 1 in 3. Weird.
Found all the Stardust fragments. 5 blue for 10 each, 3 purple for 20, 2 yelllow/gold for 50. Total of 190. Seems like it might be juuuust a little hard to cap here.
EDIT: oh never mind, plant grinding back but backwards, lets see how long that fun takes to be "fixed" hey guys remember grinding plant dragons to cap in old events?? wasn't that just your faaaaavouriiiiiteeee???
Just made a little experiment: breeding 2 plants then selling the egg : zero stardust, making it a pedestal and selling the pedestal : 2 (two) stardusts. Can be a long long day .... Oops already tested. So you need to hatch it then sell it. Stupid game.

PSA: Hatch all dragons, selling them reduces the dust collected!!
My baby park hit max in easily with just rift breeding, but I had to hatch each dragon and then sell it. Its a loss of ~800 ether

I just transferred two dragons to the hatchery (geode and arctic) and got 50 each time, plus another 25 each when I hit Breed again. So that's what happened with my ice in the rift: I bred for 25, then got 50 for the nonexistent incubating step plus 10 for being a vanilla hybrid (which I actually hatched rather than sold - sorry for the misinformation before).
I suspect the weird numbers people are getting for the plant grinding is specifically BF's attempt to discourage that, since the values have been so seriously nerfed.
Does anyone else think it’s actually kind of exciting that it seems some old fashioned plant breeding grinding might be necessary to reach cap? Ask me again if I feel the same in a few days though
Did anyone find out just how limited this 5th galaxy island is? There’s no timer as far as I can tell.

Ouch - yeah, I just tested the sell vs hatch difference. I got 25 for selling a Surge and 100 for hatching a Permafrost in the main park, both golden hybrids.
(Serious, guys, we have to hatch everything? That's just tedious...)
So I didn't know I needed to 'hatch' all the rift dragons. Bred up to 10k there, released them, and ended up with about 500 dust. Plant grinding for the rest of today, and hopefully earn more tomorrow with hatching.
This was a terrible design by Backflip. They should be completely aware that the majority of us release rift dragons and there should have been clearer warnings that hatching and releasing are not the same, especially given that releasing does earn points so that we wouldn't know. Or better yet, make selling, hatching and releasing all the same!
Btw, my first plant+plant earned 25 for the breed, 4 for the hatch. After that, only 4 per hatch and nothing on the breed.
