Dee-Dee Transport System

The Dee-Dee Transport System is a free fast-travel service that both the player and other characters can use. The player does not drive the Dee-Dee Transports themselves, but instead is driven around by an unnamed driver.

Dee-Dee travel becomes available after completing the mission Assemble Dee-Dee Transport and after placing at least two Dee-Dee Stops, the plans for which are obtained during the mission Dee-Dee Stops Here. Three stops must be placed for the mission, and there are optional extra stops that can be placed as the story progresses. It is recommended for stops to be placed at every available location for the player's ease of use.

The service runs from the time that the player wakes up until 1:30 AM.

Usage

Once at least two Dee-Dee stops have been placed, the player can travel between them by interacting with any stop.

Dee-Dee arriving at a stop — Cutscene showing the Dee-Dee arriving

Though the Dee-Dee Transport System allows travel that is instantaneous for the player (other than two short cutscenes of the the Dee-Dee arriving and leaving), a set amount of in-game time passes while the player is riding the Dee-Dee. This amount of time depends on the distance from the departure to the arrival destination, ranging anywhere from about 15 minutes to over an hour. The transport system takes less time to travel from one stop to another by Dee-Dee than travelling by foot or mount, thus being a more efficient form of long-distance transportation than other options.

After using the service, the player recovers a small amount of stamina. The amount of ⁠⁠ recovered is dependent on the amount of time consumed while travelling.

Locations

There are fourteen possible stop locations: five are available immediately, and nine more are unlocked as the player progresses through the main story. Each area that a Dee-Dee Stop can be placed is marked by a ⁠⁠ icon on the map, while already-placed Dee-Dee Stops are marked with a ⁠⁠ icon.

Trivia

The stops were unnamed before January 2019, before My Time at Portia had exited early access.
A Dee-Dee Stop was previously located at the gates to the Collapsed Wasteland, but was moved to Central Plaza in alpha 7.0. This stop was one of the five locations in the main mission.

Bugs

As of version 2.0.134712, some players may experience a crash when using the Dee-Dee Transport System.
- It is recommended to report instances of such bugs on the Steam Forums or email admin@pathea.net, as these are easier for Pathea Games to refer to and messages in the #bugs channel on the Pathea Discord can get overlooked.
