You are not the only one. That stuff pops up more when you reach new areas and when your "bridge level" (maybe it's strand level, I don't have the game in English) levels up.

I feel like the odds that the zip lines the system chooses to put in your game all line up are super low.
I have used other players when making my own network though which is nice. Saves some bandwidth.
I think people should avoid telling others to rush to Chapter 3 unless they're actually finding Chapter 2 a slog. The pacing is massively different in how you approach deliveries and you definitely lose some of the enjoyment of the more strict delivery system (in favour of fun in different things). I think Chapter 3 and the tools are abso-fuckin-lutely great but I spent 12hrs or so in Chapter 2 and really liked the challenges you have from the limited toolset. So for people enjoying that, rushing them forward means cutting that enjoyment short in favour of getting to a different time of challenge/fun.
Could someone spoiler roughly how much longer of Chapter 3 is left if I've just done the Junk Dealer mission to get them on the network (successfully, just finished and at the junkyard with them waving)? I'm having a blast and am 30-35hrs in and just interested to know where I stand.

Some of it is definitely weird. I saw a zipline that had thousands of likes in the middle of a field but for me it connected to nothing and wasn't even in a useful spot to bounce off of. It's like it pulled in one single piece of a chain.
That said with all the possible locations these could be I can't even imagine how it's calculating any of that to begin with.
I mean, it's kojima, what do you expect??
I still trying to understand why
bb survived the first explosion even when you see him transforming in a bt with his little black traces on the ground
I hope y'all are using steand contracts to filter in good player builds.
If you see a particularly good build, like it. Then go to your Bridge Links menu and search players via interactions.
Find that player, and make a Strand Contract. You will now see more of their contributions.
You can do this a lot. I'm porter level 200 and something, and I have about 25 contracts.

Are you making strand contacts with players who've placed good gear? See above.
True. Just play the game the way you want. If it feels boring, advance the story and see if the new options the game gives you are more to your liking. If you enjoy delivering, deliver. If you enjoy fighting, fight. If you like building stuff, build. It's an open world sandbox with lots of possibilities after all. Just don't push or force yourself to do something. Enjoy.
Finished Chapter 6 in one sitting. That was not nearly as bad as people were making it out to be. The end of the chapter trek was pretty memorable too.
I'm pretty sure Geoff and the other cameos didn't voice themselves, so the question becomes, why do they insist to have a japanese celebrity voice herself without her being able to speak it well.

I don't know if I fuck this up pretty much every time or they just didn't handle it well enough. Was doing Junk Dealer quest and right after the song "Give Up" by Low Roar came out, I was in the BT territory and the song was gone.
It was not the first time that a music was playing in the background and I was really enjoying that moment but suddenly I ran into Mules/Bts. This is annoying as fuck.

"Game doesn't get good until Episode 3"
But I'm loving 1 and 2..
"Chapter 4 is really awful!"
That was really damn cool, looking forward to more sequences like that.
Etc..
I stopped listening to negativity like that a while ago.
This game is so damn good. Just got the Bola gun and what a bundle of fun it is lol. God, I think this is going to be my game of the year. The aesthetics of this game is way too beautiful. Having to rest, pee, hold weight etc all seem realistic to me and while it's annoying I'm having a blast.
I did the same thing in that spot. I think at times the fame assumes you will move via a certain route... but I'm always looking for the most direct. It's a but annoying as those moments are really atmospheric.
These were my thoughts last night, although I welcomed it being easier. Then I got complacent and ended up creating a void out on the way back from the weather station.
Is making premium deliveries the only way to increase the delivery time stat? I haven't done any yet but I might wait until I have more roads built to spam standard premium deliveries. Gotta get that stat up as it's still on zero for me.
that happened to me too lol.
man I really want an update on this game to let us play the damn music throughout the gameplay.
or if anything let me use spotify cause for some stupid reason they made the whole damn game a blocked scene so you can't even use the app.
Yeah, I wish I didn't rush through it now. But also I'd recommend against maxing Ch 2 out, just stay as long as you want until it becomes boring.
Honestly, same advice for chapter 3. Don't try to max it out on chapter 3, you can still do it on chapter 5 and have more interesting tech to work with.
You are basically there almost. A handful of story missions to go (like 2 or 3 I think) if you have finished the junkyard arc
Like I can see some of those things being somewhat valid. Especially the wait till Episode 3 part because you do get a lot more traversal options. You get some pretty great stuff even up to Episode 6. You just have to know how to use them.
Delivery time only goes up on timed deliveries. I've only seen premium deliveries make the normal requirement harsher, not add a new twist to it, so the base delivery needs to be timed.
They're not super common so I don't really know why that's one of the main stat things. Most of mine are 40-60 and I barely got delivery time to 10.
it's almost as if people can have varying opinions on something
Are you delivering to the right location? Granted I had a full stack of lost cargo plus two floaters worth of it all delivered to the right location. It was tough but I maxed out the location in one go.
I can understand people not liking parts, but Inwas engaged from moment 1 and have been in all of my 35 hours (only just reached e5).
While I can understand taste... I really do struggle to understand how people could call this game shallow etc... some of the critiques have sounded crazy to me.
I am a little sad this game's score wasn't higher though, the team really deserve praise for this game.
I really hope it sells well for them.
It's one of the best parts of the game so far.
Hmm, for me it was the opposite.. I was prepared for the BTs as the forecast showed that the timefall was still there and I walked straight trough it, but strangely the weather was all sunny and the song didn't stop.. felt quite incoherent..
and I wanted to try shooting some BTs with the new gun I just got from the junk dealer.. -_-
Heh, I did not know about this. Thanks.
I'm gonna start doing this for players who build ziplines. :D
Lost cargo rewards are pretty small, even in large quantities. Both for the pepper station stars and your own star. I've delivered 45 premium and I'm at approx 215 in episode 5 so I've delivered a lot.
The absolute fastest way to level everything is premium. You'll see stars shoot up.
I lost my shit with the emails from them after the quest is done, lol
They saying that their union is shit, and she is going back to her mom. All of that for nothing. So much for that melodrama.
Obviously?
My point was I don't gel with any of the more common complaints. Read the comment I was replying to.
What? Really???
Muahahahaahahahahahahahaah.
I really don't understand why kojima insert such a wacky and strange sidequest in this game...
Yes, really. I was so mad, not because it was meanigless, but because it was easily the most cringy cutscene jn the game so far, and then "nope, we cant stand each other".
Also, this was not a sidequest, it was main quest stuff. I cringed hard.

Too many? No way. Just need to make more deliveries! Or maybe just optimize. 😉
I've got mine all linked up in the mountains from the north distro center all the way down to the stations unlocked in chapter 8. It is vast....and glorious! Probably spent more time on this than on all of chapter 3. Getting those final links to fall into place feels amazing, just wish others would get more than fragments.
I thought I was crazy at 33 hours... woah.
I built so many handy places that moving through the area in episode 4 and 5 has been a breeze. About to move on to the mountain and looking forward to having to forge my way alone again for a while.
[Mid game location spoiler]
I'm at the end of chapter 8 with 25 hours of playtime, does anyone know how much playtime I have left ?
I enjoyed playing it but it feels very repetitive now, and I'd like the end to come soon

Hah, still in chapter 2 and just making standard deliveries between the first 3 locations. Feel no rush to move on just yet. Just making my stamp on the beginning areas and establishing efficient, thorough delivery routes. Might just lvl 3 my bridges and watch towers before I move on.
Feels good to discover new delivery routes too.
People pour in the likes when you make the bt areas easier to get through. Ropes and ladders I've have placed racked up the likes, especially near the wind farm.
Almost at 10k likes too.

For her, i think it's intentional since she's not native and based on email after that mission, she only just recently learn how to speak english
Episode 3 is a weird one. It's your first forage into the main area of the game, so you can spend far more time building and delivering here than later chapters just because it's the first time it all opens up.
There is a lot of useful gear that pepper stations can give when they level, so e3 is a good time to try to unlock some for later.
In terms of main story quest only, I think that's about a 3rd of the way through or so.
I.... Think I like this game. Its certainty interesting a d I'm still playing.
It's just too damn easy though, a s I'm playing on Hard.
I've yet to encounter anything which has given me even an inkling of challenge, so the game feels a little brain dead to play.

I started to use zip during this chapter, especially for one character who is high in a mountain (once area is connected) because it saves a lot of time
After that, it is very useful but you will see that
The challenge is in planning the most efficient route, which can be through so tricky terrain, and doing it as quickly as possible.
If you're just holding down l2r2 and stroling through the easiest paths, it will be much less of a challenge.
Also while I don't find this necessarily hard, it is interesting. I just got a fully loaded truck up to the weather station using some bridges and ladders, that was fun.
man, what… i didn't build or use a zipline even once. didn't know what i was missing out on.
You drove the truck over ladders? Like two side-by-side? I have to try that.
That chapter had to be absolute hell without that, lol. There's a 60 minute timed delivery that took me 6 minutes with that setup.
