Is Worth To Fix The Bus?

[Tha Doggfather]

I'm Kinda New To The Game, Do You Guys Think Is Worth It To Fix The Bus?

[Vroomi]

Obviously, yes.

But you should be focusing om easier things early in the game.

[jcp011c2]

Yes, you have to have it to advance to Calico Desert and all that it offers.

[MassConnect]

In my opinion, no. I'm not saying you don't "have to." If you want all the achievements, then you have to. But in my opinion there is nothing there that is really worth the effort of unlocking.

The closest thing that I would consider worthwhile is the ability to just outright buy hardwood fence. But you can get by without it, even if you really wanted to use a lot of hardwood fence. It lasts long enough for you to restock for free, when you know the best source of free hardwood.

You can't get the Galaxy Sword unless you do tho.

Again, in my opinion the galaxy sword isn't necessary. Whether it's better for the skull cavern is moot, because my opinion is that the skull cavern isn't worth the trouble. There are other plentiful sources of irdium. You can even get prismatic shards in the quarry or vanilla mine if you're patient and/or completing the other long-term tasks.

You have to do some of the skull cavern if you want to buy hardwood fence in Calico, but that's not a convenience worth the price of admission, and other gear is probably adequate (if not unnecessary when you have a stockpile of rock to dispose via staircases).

What else is there really? Coconut, cactus, location specific artifacts, seeds you can do without... Achievement requirements? Yes. Game-changing benefits so good that they have no substitue? No.

Bahhhh, maybe if you played the game 400 hours, like I did, and you're on your third or fourth game, then maybe might not be worth the trouble. But for anyone remotely interested in the game and finishing off all content, the desert is an important piece of the puzzle. You get many items you wouldn't anywhere else, you get the seeds from Sandy, you have the casino (to get the last scarecrow and the statue of fortune), you have the skull cavern, you have the artifacts, you have the sword, you have Mr Qi final quest, so many things. If someone wants to play the game properly, then its mandatory to go to the desert. Otherwise, it's a boring and useless to even play this game without the desert.

Pam is the bus driver. She will stand next to the bus roughly at 10am.

Pam is the bus driver. She will stand next to the bus roughly at 10am.

To be a little more specific: when Pam is on duty, you'll be able to purchase a ticket from the machine for 500g and you'll be taken straight to the desert. You can stay there all day and Pam will remain behind to drive you home; so plan to make the most of your days in the desert if money is still a consideration.

Pam's shift ends at 5pm, after that point you won't be able to buy a ticket until she comes back the next day. This doesn't apply once you're in the desert; but if you want to do things in town first then make sure you leave yourself enough time to buy the ticket before 5pm (you actually have to have the ticket out of the machine before the deadline; unlike with some other shops that keep working a few minutes past their official closing time).

Pam isn't on duty during festival days either, so if you want seeds from the desert or something like that then make sure to give yourself time to get them a few days before you need them.

Ohh Ok Thanks

Late game when you conquer all of the the mine floors and get all golden tool upgrades, you will like to get the bus... If you just started you don't really need the bus.
