I wouldn't have liked to see more than a few pieces myself, the satisfaction is planning it out and building... I guess that's why no one is seeing more complete ones.

The game taking bits and pieces of other people's zipline networks is utterly frustrating. Largely because the mountain areas are such a slog and you spend so much time in them. At certain points it feels almost necessary without losing your mind to the tedium of it all.
IMO this would have worked in a 15 hour game, but as you do more and more samey quests (that by chapter 5-6 are not going to change at all) at the end what you want is to finish them faster and move on. I too made a zipline network in the mountain region to avoid walking, but when I revisited the area later in the gamer I decided to go straight line with the mountain skeleton as I was fed up with the fucking mountains and I didn't want to spend more time there.
The game is far too longer than it needs, all the coop ideas would have worked far better in a shorter game with a big interconnected area instead of 3 smaller areas.
I have a few questions.
So to set up zip lines I basically have to put down two of them?
What are these "customization slot added" notifications when I'm looking to upgrade a structure? Do I get to choose a customization? I upgraded a tower once and I'm pretty sure it didn't let me choose anything.
Is anyone else not having much music play in their game? I'm unlocking a whole bunch but maybe like 4 max have played at all.

I don't want that though, I think the way it's set up is incredibly satisfying and I enjoy using the routes I and others and built.
Well it's all about cooperation. Sometimes you'll find this zipline station up the mountain you'll need to climb, and sometimes you'll find the useless mid-station that won't save you the climb. Using your stations and the other's stations makes easier to make a network fast.
The game is a fucking slog either way, and the mountain area is far too long.
Thinking about getting a Nacon Revolution Unlimited Pro controller because my PS4 controller has been acting weird lately and the aesthetic of Nacon controllers fits Death Stranding REALLY WELL.
I mean just look at this, this is literally a Death Stranding themed controller.
Literally looks like a Bridges product.

I felt this way during chapters 1-5, but as the game has clearly nothing new to offer from this point onwards, I got really bored with the main gameplay loop and optimized the deliveries to finish it asap. Took me 32 hours at a good pace, and half of the time was not funny at all, so I consider that the game is far more longer than it needs.
I don't think I'll agree. I'm Porter Grade 254, 53 hours in, and only in e6. I've used my routes a bunch to do premium deliveries and it's constantly enjoyable.
I love how even though you have all this fancy gear, the game still makes you trek new areas when you first get to them.
Quick question, Chapter 5/6 spoiler, I guess I got a message from a guy at one of the outposts saying he saw something shiny in the crater where Middle Knot City used to be. Is that the giant crater at the top of the same map as Mountain Knot City? Should I actually go look?
Pretty sure these things are microchips... but I could be wrong.
That scene was so weird haha. The idea of talking to him in the shower to hide from Bridges potentially listening in was smart but the guy didn't need to be right up in Sam's face like that lmao. I will say that Norman nailed the reaction there, I was waiting for him to be like
Its not, theres much more stuff after that before the chapter ends. This game is an absolute slog in that regard. Thankfully you start getting more story bits at the end of chapter 3.
Other people's structures don't eat your bandwidth. I confirmed because the game gives you an explicit warning when deleting them.
This game is above BotW in that regard for me. One of the most complete and interesting open worlds I've ever played and it has close to nothing in it.
Because of how hard it can be to get from A to B I feel a level of achievement from successfully delivering a package that I don't get in other games.
On Ep7 now. Been enjoying my time with it but it's a struggle in the mountains. When vehicles are a bit useless and therefore the floating carriers are essential but that means no zip line use. To this moment I've still not used a zip line actually. Whether that's because of cargo or simply poor almost random placements of them from other players, it's not helping the slog of the mountains. Not that it's all bad. It's still feels like an accomplishment to have navigated your way through but there's been some times where it's been quite aggravating.
#0 (Shower) - Makes BTs visible for longer
#1 (Pee) - BT repellent, they'll move away from wherever its thrown
#2 (Poop) - Attractor, lure BTs to wherever its thrown
I think the point is to set up your own network of ziplines, I have a core set in the centre of the mountain that I'm currently building on, it takes a few hours but it's fun and really worth it imo.
Absolutely agreed.
tbh: I walked the entire time and only used lines when someone else had them set up. wasn't a problem at all.
I killed a mule, what I am suppose to do with the body?
will it create a crater if I leave it like that? Does those craters ever go away?

So how do i get the cut the umblical without them noticing cheevo. Please.
I just now hit the way station. And about to make the trek.
Thank you so much.
Did a video of the very beginning. Slight spoilers (very early cutscene, not much). Enjoying the game so far!
99% means the cargo will take 99% damage and be left with 1% when it gets to the recipient.
Haha right, I guess I must've chosen a few low percentage ones and got unlucky. Thanks.
Doesn't sound as fun to me. Now I can raise all the pepper stations to 5 stars with ease, too.
plotting the path through the mountains and take a slightly different path each time allowed me to appreciate the thought and meticulousness that went into each inch.
I wouldn't want to have done it any other way. Now for subsequent farming and stuff sure.
Just walk nearby one and you'll see a button prompt. It's square, I believe. I think also purposefully walking towards their cord might work too. But you also have to have the right equipment. You get it in Episode 6. . So if you're not there yet, don't worry about it.
I got to do that too, every time I set up a new pepper station and built my ziplines. Now when I retread , which you will need to do if you want to complete premium deliveries, it takes me a fraction of the time.
Best of both worlds.
Mama's sister told me to fuck off.
Time to make my way back up the mountain, though...
I can imagine the game getting a bit too much, if you dwelled too long at a particular chapter. I been mainlining it mostly, but always picking up stuff (side missions) if it happens to be the same place or near it.
Am at chapter 13, porter level 214... not sure time wise, will check tomorrow, but I think roughly 30 hours
Maybe I got lucky by having a good server. Everyone contributed nicely to making roads from north to south.
Beyond that, I made sure to have a good zipline route. I breezed through the mountain chapters imo. Made side-deliveries a breeze.
Haven't even used it once... :/

I figured he was the objective when the Odradek kept indicating where he was and trying to flee just lead to running around in circles.
That was one hell of a setpiece, though.

Lol, please say you put some zip-lines on your way (wherever there was chiral network)
If not, do it now on your way back...
this game is too fucking good
... I inadvertently made an enormous zipline network connecting Waystation to Mountain Distro center to Mountain Knot.
I guess now I have to connect the Roboticist to the Farm, because I already have zipline infrastructure between the Farm and South Lake.
and then I can look at the map and marvel at the absurdity of all of it lol

So. I just got to Mount Knot City.................... And i have to go all the way back down. LOL.
Unfortunately, i didn't bring a floater. So i can't snowboard. 😭
How much of chapter 5 do i have left ?

Ahhh. Thank you so much.
I really like doing this, been setting up routes in episode 6. Makes you climb up on peaks and stuff you wouldn't normally go for too.
Yeh exactly, I explored so much trying to find optimal points. I've been trying to place them all at as close to 300m apart as possible to maximise efficiency, so I've been trying different peaks and valleys, places I wouldn't have moved through.
Really fun to plan all of this and super satisfying to make huge premium delivery strings with the power skeleton... no need for all terrain because I'm flying across the mountains!
