Joja

If I buy the membership and the community center turns into a warehouse, can I still do buundles??

[Fawlow]

Technically, 'no' They're payments and you don't get any extra rewards. You have to pay to unlock the Greenhouse, Bus, Quarry, etc. This would be less challenging imo.

Community Center is one route, Joja is the other. You can't do both.

- CC has you complete 4-5 bundles per room, each bundle granting an item such as 30 forage seeds, or 3 furnaces, and then when the room is complete, it unlocks something new like the bus. After it's complete, you get a trophy of sorts and a cutscene in the repaired CC.

- Joja has you pay cash in place of the bundles. So you pay 5k to join Joja, then it's 15k for the mine carts, 40k for the bus, 35k for the greenhouse, etc. After you finish, you get a different kind of trophy and cutscene.

Joining Joja won't make anyone hate you, but the CC route is the "good" route and Joja is "bad". Both routes have their perks to completing them.

you cant do ANY the normal bundles if you do the Joja mart route for game? when do you HAVE to decide to do Joja Mart instead for the achievement?

[childcrone]

I think you could complete all but one last bundle -- to get most of the rewards/friendships etc -- and THEN join Joja to get the achievement.

..once we take the Joja membership, though, we can't complete the CC. Well, I suppose we could get both achievements with one farm by making a Saves backup just before joining Joja in that above scenario. Then once the achievement comes through, 'rewind' by replacing with the backup and carry on with completing the Community Center ;~)

My question was if I do a comunity center bundle am i locked into doing all them? is the game flexible enough i can join Joja later in game whether i did comunity center bundles or not? or Do I have to do all the Joja bundles without doing the comunity center bundles. does anyone know how fkexible the game is in this regard. I already got the community center achievement. don't answer if your not sure.

so Joja Mart can be joined almost ANY time to finish bundles or do we get locked into completing the community center?

can i do community center bundles along with Jojamart ? once we buy jojamart memembership were stuck with that route?

I can join Joja ANY time I want? I already got community center achievement.

[Lord Strong]

for example can I do the forage bundles to get the bonus seeds Then join Joja?

[Lord Strong]

Someone give me a REAL answer.

This discussion says two different things. IF the game is not flexible in regard to bundles I want to know.

I don't know what you're asking. I'm fairly certain you can join Joja at any time BEFORE finishing the Community Center, but I'm not sure if you'll get the achievement if you do 4 CC and 1 Joja.

Joja's route is very different and faster than the CC achievement. You can't get both achievements on the same profile. You have to make two separate farms.

What exactly your final goal here? And what do you mean by "flexible"?
Short answer to your original post - no.
Elaborated as following...
If you are after Steam achievements - not possible to get both on the same file without backtracking your save. So either do one farm with CC and another with Joja, or do all CC bundles except last one - then back up your save and go Joja. After getting achievement restore your save and finish CC. Bang - you get both achievements on Steam and all CC rewards on your save. (tested myself so it worked at least before last update) Though if you already got CC completed on another save and started a new farm - you can just go Joja and don't bother with the rest.
If you want rewards for bundles - then you have to go CC because Joja don't give any except for finally restored whatever-something. You just pay money to corporation and they do their job but don't expect any additional bonuses.
If you want to know how long you can go with CC before going Joja - the answer is "all the way untill the last bundle". You can complete them all but last one and then get membership, pay money, and get achievement for it.
But after you go Joja you can't go back and no more bundles will be open for you and so no rewards. Again - you pay money and you get bridge restored and bus repaired etc but no seeds or heater or cakes. So if you do it early you will not be able to get those seed or whatever you are after - for this you have to stay with CC. But if you only want a job done fast and easy and don't care about the cost - that's your way.
All that tested by myself or by my kid, so those answers are as real as it gets.
