Deciding between the Stage Support and Stage Backdrop in My Time at Sandrock? Get the lowdown on materials, machines, and which choice is easier for your build!

Hey there, Builder! After that first big sandstorm, you'll notice the old stage near Hammertime is toast. Don't worry, it's a team effort with Mi-an to build a new one, and you get to pick the path: Stage Support or Stage Backdrop. Let's break down which one might be a better fit for you right now.

So, which one should you pick? If you're aiming for the smoothest build with less hassle, go for the Stage Support. It generally needs simpler materials. You'll still have to craft a new machine, the Processor, but overall, the resources are easier to gather compared to the Stage Backdrop.

The only slightly tricky part with the Stage Support is needing Bronze Bars. But honestly, since you'll already be on the hunt for materials to dig up the old stage (you need a Bronze Pickhammer for that!), you should have enough ore to make extra bars. You need less ore in total for the Stage Support, but you might have to venture a bit deeper into the mines for tin ore to make those Bronze Bars. Don't forget, you can always just buy the tin ore if you're in a pinch!

On the flip side, if you go for the Stage Backdrop, instead of building a Processor, you'll need to craft a Grinder. Plus, you'll have to grab the Copper Loudspeaker recipe from the Commerce Guild. Heads up: both the Grinder and the Processor blueprints will cost you x3 Data Discs, and Qi will take 1 day to prepare them for you.

Honestly, there are no major consequences no matter which you choose, so just go with what feels right for you!
