Help?

@sflanker ah saw it, thanks :)

@sflanker Thanks.
You're a really helpful person by the way.
Thanks for commenting on my Ares I, I actually spent time on it lol

@MagellanAerospace Here's a few thoughts:

⠀

1. Make things that are original/unique/distinctive. There's a lot of SpaceX Starships on the site, so it's difficult to stand out making yet another one.
2. Make it look good, people really appreciate attention to detail. If your craft looks like you were really meticulous and put a lot of energy, and you take really good screenshots that show that work off, people tend to respond.
3. When you put a lot of work in to a craft, such as your Ares I (nice launch escape system), make a forum post about it with a descriptive title, including images, and links to your video content. Don't over do this and spam the forum with quick uninteresting builds, but it's a good way to get more people to see the crafts you put a lot of work into.
4. When making authentic/realistic replicas do your best to avoid XML modifications and tinker panel usage that makes your dry mass wonky. If it's sci-fi I don't care what you do with tinker panel so long as it looks cool, but if it's a realistic replica rocket, or a "get payload X to orbit" type utility rocket, I feel link tinker panel tends to indicate shortcuts were taken. (note: this is just my humble opinion, other players may not care).
5. Lastly, just don't sweat it. Remember, your self worth is something internal to your mind. The plaudits of others is something you can't truly control. If you depend on others approval, you surrender your power over yourself to others unnecessarily. Make stuff because you like doing it, if others don't appreciate it that is up to them and should not detract from your experience.

P.S. here's a hack I've discovered (before I became a moderator and my score became even more irrelevant to me): if you make a mod for the game that people find useful it can generate a lot of points in a short time. Plus you'll learn to code and how to use Unity in the process of doing so, which could be super useful long term. That said, coding and making mods isn't for everybody.

@SNSA @HSH That black box is a code block (monospace font, respects whitespace literally instead of using normal markdown rules). It happens when you indent your text with 4 spaces. You can learn more about it in the Post Formatting Guide

@SNSA lol I seriously don’t know

@PointBreak ok thanks

Don't focus on the points m8. Just enjoy SR2 and have fun.

How to get a lot of upvotes in the SR2 community:

don't make rockets or planes or anything aerospace related.

make 1500+ part crafts.

make functional interiors.

have a lot of points.

have a lot of friends.

collab with someone that has a lot of Points.

collab with someone that has a lot of friends.

have a highly followed YouTube channel.

be a gril.

be bi or gay.

be a furry.

don't have a life.

more vizzy than the basic human could comprehend.

make actual magic.

and most importantly don't even try to get points, you silly. Because no matter what you do the people will defy your expectations in every way possible. Making you lose grasp of reality, and your sanity in the process. So to be actually happy, is not to want these stupid points, but to learn game development and make a better game than SR2 and make your own community where you can rule them the way you see fit. Now you can make them upvote you all you want. And then & only then will they see the truth, and that you control the game with your right & the people with your left. No one will escape now, that you have full control of reality. Show them that you are a GOD and they are but mere mortals meant to be left in the dust and only you will remain eating gold & honey for the rest of your immortal life.

And that's my full list of how to get upvotes.
and please note that: some of these points are optional
