Ok, I gave you some upvotes, And left a comment. Hope it helps!

I'll be your 7th follower, I'll also give you some upvotes now and then!

I mean people will like you for what you can do, But striving to be better is what gets you a huge boost, With me I only have 20 followers and joined 1.4 years ago. I just post whatever i end up building, Or posting on a forum.

I have to agree with Toinkove here.
There probably are some strategies to get points and followers fast, but I think it‘s mainly about regularly posting high quality content.

A few points I want to add:

• Your content should be something many people want. It doesn‘t help if you upload something every two days if noone uses it, no matter how detailed it is.

• Your content should be unique. When people look for a specific rocket, they don‘t download the newest one, but the most popular one. And when you upload something, it doesn‘t have any downloads or upvotes, so it‘s rarely downloaded. If your type of rocket was only uploaded 2 or 3 times, more people will look at them all and download the best one, and that has to be yours. There are few things that many people want but that weren‘t uploaded often, that‘s the reason good MfD games have so many upvotes - they are popular but really complicated to make.

• If you look at the users page, you‘ll notice that many popular accounts were created years ago. Back then there were less competing users, so gaining points probably was easier than it is now.

• The others don‘t know anything about your craft when they first see it on this website, so you should
1. Make your craft look good, if possible better than it really is, on the pictures (using edited pictures makes you look really professional!) and in the description.
2. Tell them as much as possible. People want to know if your craft fits their wishes, and if you don‘t tell them, they‘ll prefer another craft. Since few people ask you in the comments, you should answer all possible questions in the description without making it look too long (people don‘t read too long descriptions). What greatly helps making your descriptions more clear is formatting, this is a good guide.

However, as my points and followers suggest, I don‘t know if all of my thoughts are correct. My perspective on my account is similar to Toinkove‘s: I don‘t do this for points or followers, I just do this for fun, and I think that‘s the best way to keep having fun - if you aren‘t really lucky, you‘ll quickly be disencouraged because you don‘t get as many followers as you want.

I really hope I could help you, Good Luck 🍀

@Toinkove yeah naa

Not that I can be of much help here,
Just found out I have 10 followers (that info has always been available, I just never looked for it before) and as you can prolly tell by my lowly point count, I don’t post a lot of crafts or even attempt to run up my points on this site (or any other). In the last 3 years I mostly just browse the forums and try to provide technical support for those needing it, that and playing the game is where I get enjoyment and not so much from trying to be the most popular here (as gauged by points or upvotes).
………..
I’m sure there is a method to getting a lot of followers and running up a metric crap ton of points (like making extremely detailed and interesting craft and sharing them, getting a ton of downloads/upvotes) but it takes a lot of effort, not just making those craft but keeping at it and posting new good craft every few days! In other words, it’s almost a full time job for some!
…………
There’s almost certainly a fair amount of luck involved as well. Like in any new business, will your idea/product be the next big thing or a total flop? And let’s not forget that those players who already have 40 million points and 10 craft on the “hottest” list are more likely to have their next build take off and become extremely popular then if they posted that same great craft with a brand new account! So there’s a lot of factors involved here, if that’s what you want from this site just keep at it (and frequently) and with a bit of luck and some hard work you just might get there.
