Footfal

  • amount of footfall depends on your settlement rank
  • from what i observed you can only get 1 footfall amount per player per settlement. eg. when you place one beacon next to another you only generate footfall on one of them, you can’t get footfall on both. This may be not limited to a settlement but to a specific range.
  • you -probably- don’t get footfall from your friends but i’m not sure if it’s confirmed

yeah i couldn find this in the testingrelease note but ithink its to keep out cheaters
i seen a drop in footfall since i friend more than 25 people now
gonna have to limit it to villagers and close friends then as i use the footfall to support the village this means if someone has a village and he lets the vilagers on the beacon that he gets olmost no footfall for doing this
isnt this contrabeneficial for the village

ps: not sure contrabeneficial is a real word lolz
native language is dutch :grin:

I feel like friends should not be excluded from footfall,
because it adds the false incentive to unfriend people just to get more coin.
Since this is a social game, that would lead in a wrong direction.

But I’m not sure they are. My impression so far is that only people who have beacons in the same settlement are excluded.

Need confirmation on this.

thanks for your opinion only @james can answer our question now
i looked for info but didn find or understand it because a village should be able to generate some money because they are a village like a guild has a shared bank
but this is for moment not possible and i hate to ask for donation wich i olmost never do

I will personally say that I do gain footfall from friends but I believe only if they are not part of the building perms

One footfall, per person, per day

Friends generate no footfall.

Other players generate footfall once in 24 hours.

@Combyte is correct. Friends will generate footfall but only if they are not granted certain permissions.

That seems distinctly not greedy. Footfall should be generated by visitors, not residents.
