What's the best use of iridium bars early game?

I'm in year 2, have 13 bars, a couple of purple sprinklers. I'm thinking of saving up for the desert totem. is there a better use? should I upgrade my pick

Upgraded pick will save you time and energy, so absolutely.

You can get desert totems from the trader (in the desert), but I don't remember what she wants for it. Not as much material as building one yourself.

Desert trader has totems for 3 omni geodes. Super cheap in my opinion. Just one good day in the mines can let you get like 20 totems.

I second upgrading your pick. Also I'd use the extra iridium for a few sprinklers :)

I feel like the quality of life improvements of the iridium axe and pick are worth it.
