My buildings aren't getting any likes, literally zero likes?

[luvbentley]

I'm about 40 hours into the game. I don't really build anything but timefall shelters since I don't actually see much use for any of the other buildings, but I put them in well trafficked areas where there is lots of timefall. I put them where I need to use them myself, especially right in the middle of timefall zones so I can go under and auto repair all my cargo, and then also at the edges so I can repair it all after leaving. I check the map and nobody has ever given my buildings a single like. My roads always get used but nothing else. It's not important or anything, it has no effect on gameplay, but it feels like a social aspect of the game is basically turned off and my actions aren't having an affect on anybody, and its a bit discouraging.

It just happens with some constructions. Like I've got a zipline that lets you get onto a zipline network right in front of Mountain Knot City and it doesn't have any uses besides me. But then another zipline spot, a couple ziplines away gets lots of use. I imagine they're getting preempted by other people's stuff since you're putting them in high traffic areas.

Look at standard orders and see if there are any "retrieval" ones that might need some good constructions to help.

as you progress thru the game you connect with more people and your stuff becomes more widely visible

with that said, im pretty far into it, and even for me sometimes ill have signs that get 1000+ likes and then signs with zero, so the game has a way of randomizing it

I created a very useful safehouse the other day in a helpful spot and it started getting immediately used. It also probably doesn't help your mostly only creating one type of structure.

Player numbers, location, structure type, helpfulness, timeframe all have an effect on the online system. If you play for awhile you'll see more of the effects of your objects over time.

I'll be honest I rarely use timefall shelters... I do tend to spam like on any generators I use

My favorite combo is a generator as close as possible to a time shelter.

Build roads. You get tons of likes from roads because those likes are passive.
Other stuctures might seem usefull for you, but maybe not for everybody.

Maybe this is all it is... I don't use a lot of stuff I see out in the wild cuz like I said, I don't see the use for any of it. I give the ladders and anchors I come across and use likes but maybe thats not enough.

do you ever get messages like *duderXXX used your vehicle / ladder / structure* or whatever? I recall getting those a lot whenever I'd log in and leave distribution centers. Also online might be kinda on the low side right now too, I myself had a lot of online activity but I was playing it in December right after a sale

Nope, only that people have used my roads.

well, maybe there's just not that many active players out there who'd be getting your lower level structures in their worlds right now. The game certainly has a bias for matching players based on how far they've progressed into the story, and for me the traffic on my non-road buildings didn't get that heavy until way into late game. I've also noticed that upgraded structures seemed to spawn for other players more often

Likes don't actually do anything and they're all fake, the likes system was designed by reptoids to keep you hooked on delivering packages. Have you ever seen another player actually give you a like? How do you know your structures are even showing up in any other playthrough? They designed all of this so that you would never see direct evidence of your structures being used, there is no way to comment, no way to engage in any meaningful interaction. Notice how the Bridges Links history doesn't actually show you what the other players interacted with? This is all by design, it's all part of the reptoids' plan, you gotta wake up and see it before they get you. You may think this is just a video game, but just keep ignoring it and, next thing you know, they turned all of your frogs gay.
