I beat the game but...

[Papi Pano]

It's been a long time since I played this masterpiece. I kinda wanna play it again being it's hands down one of the most BEAUTIFUL games I've ever played. However, what is there to do after main story? I'm sure side missions but is there a way to grind resources fast and begin building things for other players? Thanks my friendly Porters!

I have played through the story a few times now, and it is one of the only games I have continued to play after I beat it once. While the story is still crazy, there are lots of bits that I picked up and understood better with repetition. Additionally there were several mechanics I didn't notice or interact with until my 2nd or 3rd play through.

My first two play throughs were with the original release. First was on Normal difficulty and really focused on just completing the story. Chasing cut scenes and narrative. 2nd was about catching the bits of the story I missed, 5 starring all the NPCs, and getting 100% achievements. I played again once the "Directors cut" came out, and even started another run just recently. On this run, i just learned that you can tie down your packages on the floating carts, or on the motorcycles using the strand. I totally learn new aspects and features every time I play the game.

You get to keep some of the effects of your previous play too- so on your next run you will find that the roads get built a little faster and easier. If you engaged with the online component and did strand contracts and liked other peoples stuff a lot- your 2nd run will be considerably easier. I'm actually playing "offline" this time for the challenge.

This time is mostly because I really want to play pt. 2 but it probably won't be out on PC for another couple years.

Anyway- post story, you can do community/online challenges, racing on the track, or just focus on getting S-rank on all the standard orders to make you LLLx number as big as it can be. if nothing else, helping some NPCs is fun, and it feels good to take a digital walk through a pretty landscape. Keep on keeping on fellow porter!

The game clearly wants you to role play as the world's best delivery person. You could take it upon yourself to make recurring deliveries as though it's your job; You could decide to focus on delivering lost cargo from shared lockers across all facilities on the map, thereby doing the work that others failed to complete. You could focus on fulfilling orders from other players who likely need resources to build and maintain structures. You could directly donate resources to structures yourself. You could play an entirely offline session where you build everything you ever need from scratch, and fill your world with a custom layout of structures. You could go hard mode and try to complete the game by imposing restrictions on yourself; i.e. complete the game without ever using vehicles or weapons.

It's up to you, but the game will really just be 300+ hours of being the world's best UPS driver.
