Helping signs limit ?

[kcs123]

I know that there is limit for upgrade request signs over own buildings, how many you can deploy at once. Depending on character progress.

But, is there limit for other signs, like speed up, stamina recovery, marking spots etc. ?

Asking, because I have noticed that some of my signs have disapeared, while some that I put on map long time ago are still on map. Also, other people signs seems to apear or disapear randomly. Does other people signs are only visible when other sign owner also play game online on same time ?

A bit confusing how those signs works. Does my signs get deleted by others or if they didn't collect likes in certain period of time ?

I think it's dependent on how many "Likes" your signs get from other people. I'd assume there is an attrition rate where the signs have a life expectancy that is extended by likes and interactions. (which is why the mutual like signs that give likes as well as gain them tend to last longer)

At least that's what I've observed, but I could could be wrong.

You can of course remove them yourself too through settings or removal, however that's only on your local saved version, not the server.

I HATE "helping signs", eye sores on an otherwise beautiful game, andmelt them in my save with extreme prejudice. Build some freaking roads to get 'likes', something worth it to community, d@mn it!

Just saying, move on...

Building road was my priority #1 when I reached second area. I don't mind other peoples signs too much, but, I would like my own marks, for rope anchor point, arrow pointing way to go and similar. It certainly helps in some tricky map spots until you get familiar with enviroment.

For example, that collector shelter is very tricky to reach, even with HUD mark turned on.
That is why I have asked question in the first place, how it works gameplay mechanic wise.

Does some other players hate/delete them, or it is removed on purpose from server side, to not be spoilers, etc. I have spoiler signs turned off in settings, at least for first playtrough.

I'm kinda surprised that your own signs disappear, haven't seen any of mine do that. Even if a player deletes your sign in their world, it should still be present in yours. Spoiler signs is in reference to the "Memory Chip" sign. By turning Spoiler signs "Off" these signs will not show on your map.

I'm certain that some of my signs have disapeared, and I'm certain that I didn't removed them. Several arrow pointing signs have gone missing and few "speed up" boost signs on road as well.

For example, early in second area, after building few pieces of main road, I have put sign to mark where to turn toward engineer prepper bunker. It lasted for several gaming session and then gone missing. I have even builded bridge in that area making convinient to go there quickly and mostly safely from main road.

After a while, someone else have also put similar sign pointing in same direction that have received a lot of likes. After while, that sign have gone too. It does not seem to be needed anymore, though, as lot of people start to follow that path and it is well established and visible pathway, even without using scaner.

Try "Calling out" where your signs were. From what I can observe, calling out "pings" any other players interactions in the world so they can be seen.

I too hate all these pointless non-helping signs, like digital spam-garbage. People just spam roads and prepper/distro centers with signs... what an eye/ear sore.

^^^ unite and melt, hit the sign spammers in their likes!

[have to admit, it is fun to place the speed boost sign below the crest of a hill and on a curve...]
