@RepublicOfCursedPlanes ive been playing for about 8 years. 3 accounts and varying success. No real pattern or anything. Even got to platinum on my original account before the email linked to it got stolen, probably unrelated to sp. But it seems that what you say is true. Has been for all these years. Crap sells, gold doesn't. Unless you grind forever to build a community around your account and style is practically impossible to compete with meme accounts. And its not like I can dump all my time into this game since ive got work and college and maintaining my apartment to spread my resources thin. I try and post a few times a year but that just isn't enough to gain a following
@Mustang51 its not that i THINK my planes are good. They ARE good. At least in my primary line of posts. But because im only gold on that account they wont get the same reception as a platinum shitpost.
For instance:
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/QXQRf8/KONSTFLYG-8-Golden-Swede
Im especially proud of my latest craft, spent nearly 2 months of 3 hours a day after work.
This build on my primary account had barely gotten any attention compared to something like this.
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/jwGUgN/5-headed-airplane
And its less than 2 weeks old.
Just the knowledge that some piece of actual shitpost garbage could beat out something someone put weeks into is just disheartening.
Nah mate it runs fine on my phone. i keep getting an emergency heat warning telling me to turn the phone off to prevent permanent damage. but that is probably unrelated.
@Mustang51 that's also 5 years old, how am i supposed to know what upvotes would've been contributed within the timespan of the challenge and what upvotes are contributed due to your current popularity. Like i said, more popular creators will get more points than those who aren't, with less effort. This is just a practice in disheartenment.
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes yes same thing with my other account. But the thing is, a platinum shitpost would make more points in this challenge than a zero pointer that made something really good. Ive been through it in my main account, spending over a month building something just to get 6 upvodes or something, and they're good builds. Just remember that time clipping a bunch of spheres into each other and naming it ORB got some mfer gold in a week.
Ok a few questions before I start.
There's no wood block so idk how to follow that rule. Why low physics and why so few parts besides being the funny number. Just wanna make sure the last 2 are limitations of your device (which sounds like a gen1 ipod touch) and that the first is actually possible or just has to be colored similarly.
Not sure if possible but could you make a mod that allows images to be used as decals and wrap surfaces? As opposed to using a thousand fuselage blocks and nudging to make panel art for planes.
@SkyBoogie1the1oringle no you're definitely good at building mate don't say you're not. Look at my posts in comparison. I'm surprised you don't have that many points

How about making a figurine of the top creation for each month/year.
+5@Star737 what do you mean by maneuverability
So, what do you mean by maneuverability? Surely not as simple as pulling a 180⁰ turn on a dime ad 300mph.
@donkski also 16
Sounds interesting, I'll join

V8, wider than an SUV. Checks out. Nice build all the same
.
Can you make one with mobile controls? I can handle the part count
