Bus Stop Reconstruction

After completing the Building Starsand Station quest, players unlock the ability to repair 10 bus stops scattered across Starsand Island. Each bus stop must be individually rebuilt by donating construction materials. Once at least two bus stops are repaired, players can fast travel between them for a Gold fee. Bus stops appear as train icons on the map.

Materials Per Bus Stop

Standard Bus Stops (9 of 10)

Nine of the ten bus stops require the same set of construction materials:

Material	Quantity	Crafting Station
Stone Brick	10	Furnace I (Stone + Charcoal)
Glass Pane	5	Cutter I (Glass Brick from Quartzite)
Softwood Plank	10	Cutter I (Softwood)
Iron Sheet	5	Cutter II (Iron Ingot from Iron Ore)

Cloudrest Lake (Exception)

The Cloudrest Lake bus stop uses Bamboo Boards instead of Softwood Planks:

Material	Quantity	Crafting Station
Stone Brick	10	Furnace I
Glass Pane	5	Cutter I
Bamboo Board	10	Cutter I (Bamboo)
Iron Sheet	5	Cutter II

Total Materials for All 10 Bus Stops

Building all 10 bus stops is a major material investment. The total resources required, including raw inputs, are:

Processed Material	Total Needed	Approximate Raw Resources
Stone Brick	100	~400 Stone + 100 Charcoal
Glass Pane	50	50 Glass Bricks (from ~200 Quartzite + 50 Charcoal)
Softwood Plank	90	~360 Softwood
Bamboo Board	10	~40 Bamboo
Iron Sheet	50	50 Iron Ingots (~200 Iron Ore + 50 Charcoal)
Total Charcoal	~200	~200 Softwood + 400 Fiber

Fast Travel Mechanics

Physical presence required — You must stand at a bus stop to initiate fast travel. You cannot teleport from the map menu.
At least 2 stops needed — Fast travel only becomes functional after repairing a minimum of two bus stops.
Gold cost per trip — Each trip costs between 5 and 30 Gold depending on the distance between stations.
Next-day activation — Newly repaired bus stops activate the following in-game day, not immediately.

Bus Stops vs. Teleporters

Starsand Island offers two fast travel systems. Bus stops are the mid-game option, while Teleporters become available in the endgame:

Feature	Bus Stops	Teleporters
Cost per trip	5-30 Gold	Free
Materials	Mid-game (Stone, Iron, Glass, Wood)	Endgame (Eternal Alloy, Perpetual Reactor, Spirit Cube III)
Locations	Fixed 10 locations	Player-chosen placement
Unlock timing	Mid-game (Island Pro rank)	Late/endgame

Achievement	Description	Condition
Get on Board Now!	"Toot toot! All aboard!"	Repair your first bus stop
Road Master	"Go wherever you want, whenever you want"	Repair a total of 9 bus stops

Recommended Repair Priority

Not all bus stops are equally useful. Here is a suggested priority order for repairing them:

East Hopeland — Closest to your home. This becomes your primary travel hub.
Starsand Station — Central location near Starsand Town, convenient for shopping and quest turn-ins.
AquaBlue Outpost or Half-Moon Bay — Essential for fishing and accessing the port/Merchant Ship.
Green Pasture Ranch — Useful if you spend time managing ranch animals.
Remaining stops as needed based on your gameplay priorities.

Tips

Build multiple Cutters. You need large stacks of Softwood Planks for bus stops, furniture, and other construction projects. Two or three Cutters running in parallel saves significant time.
Build at least 2 Charcoal Kilns. Charcoal is the biggest bottleneck material since it is needed for both Stone Bricks and Glass Bricks.
Delay distant stops. Remote bus stops provide less value early on. Focus on the stops near your home and most-visited areas first.
Use the Skateboard in the meantime. Obtained from Zerine upon reaching Apprentice Crafter status, the skateboard is free to use and helps with travel before bus stops are ready.
Stockpile materials passively. Set Cutters, Furnaces, and Charcoal Kilns to process materials overnight while you handle other tasks during the day.
