Roads produce the most likes, by far, because they're the most efficient and effective form of infrastructure you can contribute to the world, by far (in this post-apocalyptic nightmare world in which the concept of trains are no longer feasible). You get likes just by having people driving on (or just walking on) roads you built yourself or contributed to in large part, like you do with any other piece of infrastructure or navigation assistance tool you set down that other people can use, but people travel a lot further on a section of road than they do even a bridge or (generally) a zipline.

Ah, that explains a lot. Thanks! Another thing I was wondering about : in my game, there are a few bridges that link nothing, ie they are built on land that isn't particularly steep, don't cross any chasms or rivers and don't appear to connect any common paths, yet they sometimes have a ton of likes. One outside Mountain Knot City, just down from where the road gets built, has around 80-90,000 likes. I was wondering if this was common and what the deal was?

Bridges to nowhere have been a thing since almost day one, and while there are obviously good reasons for why they get an immense amount of likes, it's beyond my reckoning.

Ppl build their bridges on that path and automatically farm likes from other players getting dragged over the bridge

It's my birthday, and while I was expecting an Easter egg, I can't say I was expecting a handful of little treats. My favourite is the one with Cliff, because it feels like someone got me a Mads Mikkelsen cameo.

I've now five-starred every base/prepper/etc. I'm trying to decide whether I want to go all the way and get all the achievements, but I don't like the look of those legends ones. It's mostly the time-based ones that have me hesitating. For now I'm just going to enjoy getting all the memory units. It's cute how their data is just Kojima's personal movie and music recommendations. That said, Deep Red definitely didn't "spawn the giallo genre".

If you wanted the LoL achievements you really needed to have put it on hard mode before 5 starring It'll be a lot of repetition unfortunately If you have a decent zip line network the time limits are almost irrelevant though

If you've been enjoying the central loop of the game, it's just more of that and fine/fun. Even most of the timed ones you can do without any setup. There are a couple though where it's a puzzle to solve.

Thanks for the help everyone! Does the difficulty setting affect the combat with BTs/MULEs/terrorists in standard orders?

I recently finished my second play through, on very hard. I didn’t even notice any difference outside of boss fights, where they just had a million hp and it was tedious as hell so I turned them down to very easy after the first. Granted it’d been a couple of years since my first play through so maybe I don’t remember it well enough to notice the difference. It still wasn’t challenging though

I'm still enjoying myself getting the LoL orders done. Most of them are still pretty simple and I'm one of those people who really likes Truck Simulator, so the redundancy probably isn't a factor for me. I feel like I am going to hate finishing off the timed ones though! I think I have 5/20 but there have been a couple where I've been outraged when the A comes up.

I just got done with the LoL orders for the achievement. You guys were right, it wasn't particularly difficult really. The level 3 speed skeleton made pretty short work of the timed orders where vehicles or ziplines weren't cutting it. My next step is to polish off a few more achievements, but I might then go the extra mile and work on the roads too, because I really like the community element in this game.

I've started this for the fourth time since it released - and I'm up to episode 3 which is where I always fall off. I want to actually get through it this time and beat the drat game so I can play 2 next year. I always feel like I'm doing something wrong in terms of what I carry around. My gamer brain requires me to massively overload myself with crap I won't use just in case I need it - and I can't stand the thought of leaving stuff behind in private lockers or post boxes in case I never go back there or forget I left it. This inevitably means I can never carry much in the way of extra cargo or materials. Is there something that'll make it just click for me? Can someone tell me I don't actually need all these ladders?

You don’t need all those ladders. If you play online, there’s probably already a ladder/rope/bridge/whatever there or you can usually just grab what you need from a nearby postbox, but even if not you only need to carry like one ladder one rope 99% of the time.

I want to actually get through it this time and beat the drat game so I can play 2 next year. my everyday loadout was one ladder, one rope, 2 PCCs, 1 bola, 1 floating platform, as many blood grenades my backpack pouches could carry, and spare boots. Usually rocked all-terrain skeleton too, but any of them are useful PCCs are incredibly flexible and can get you out of trouble in a pinch, as long as you are in chiral territory. Start placing ziplines everywhere once you unlock them to get the travel network up and running as early as possible. Floating platform is GOATed and lets you carry so much cargo to quickly 5 star most preppers this should let you tackle just about anything the game will throw at you, but you might struggle against BTs if youre clumsy and get spotted a lot

I don't think it helps that the game throws stuff like four different types of grenade at you in quick succession and doesn't tell you what most of them actually do (so I'd better make sure to have one of each just in case!).

Once you get the blood grenade it's the only one you need
