They’re not hunting down random builds in the middle of no where.
They said they’d visit the people who participate in the sightseeing
I’m in for a nice tour of builds around the universe. Let me know when.
This is a fine idea to make sure the devs do not fix the footfall back to most peoples expectations if people start finding ways to abuse the system.

Footfall’s probably on its way out anyway. One last hoorah won’t make a difference although if we start doing footfall marches they’ll probably crawl out of their foxholes and jump on fixing that within hours.
giving a tour to people to see awesome builds is it really abuse lol
i guess if we walk over a alts plots setup it might be but thats not the fault off a group doing a tour off eachothers build i think

Its how you dress it up. If you left out everything in this post mentioning anything about footfall then it is less likely a dev is going to read this and see that we are plotting to try to game the system. But even so, if the logs suddenly show an abnormal influx of something that wasn’t happening before. the devs might try to suppress it if they feel it is to much.
And right now they are trying to observe and compare just how much to tune the system to fix it hence the delays, so if you want to get the most out of what they tune it as, then you want the system to look like it is giving less, not more. I think there is a lawyer saying somewhere, to try to look your worst in court as the victim.

We’ll just change the name of the event to “The Exploring Other Peoples’ Builds Tour that has Nothing to do with Footfall Whatsoever”

I’d advise people to nominate / offer themselves as a “tour guide” per world, then all interested parties can PM the world guide relevant to them. The guide then takes directions, finds a nice flow through all the builds, times the tour with a 2-3min run around per build, and sets up an arrival point for the tour.
Once we have all participating worlds set up, we work out a date and time that is most convenient (this wont suit everybody unfortunately) and put out an itinnerary here. Sounds awesome!
You could set up a discord group where people put their location and instuctions hoq to get there and everyone who can takes a trip there once every 2 weeks. Everyone gives a few minutes a day to help each other out
Nice idea!
I like the idea … but may I suggest visiting smaller settlements too? Big cities already get some footfall … smaller settlements barely see anyone. Would be nice to see more then 30c in my beacon some day. Especially since the 30c in there is probably from my alt 
Great idea, my new build is only half done, my old one is gonna be brought down, but would love to participate.
Maybe try to get 2 times to meet and tour, so covering as many time zones as possible?
I can show people around my planet and taking a look at some of the smaller settlements. Don’t get many visitors so not many people know their way around.
I’m going to be reaching out to people on finata to nominate their builds and tour me in the coming week. If you have a build on finata, either PM me here, or come sell your location token to the BRGR voting station (keep this thread clean/short/readable).
If your settlement has a portal up, this would make things much easier; but this is in no way a requirement
Once i have a good few stops on the sightseeing tour, I’ll bring back a vote here to get traveling band together. Think of it as a non-meteorite hunting trip

Great, well done for organising this.
I’m not on Finata, but I would join the tour, I think it’s really worthwhile to boost the economy.
I would like to see the tour focus more on the smaller builds, as those guys need the footfall the most and then are much more likely spend it in a store somewhere.
All major shopping settlements should be encouraging the same, as they will be the ones who benefit as well.
If anyone from Gellis would like to organise the same, it would be fantastic. I can help, just not sure I’m the guy to pull off making it happen!

Thanx fidach, the idea is indeed to get smaller, out of the way settlements in on the action.
I’m expecting interest to grow over time, but while we are still figuring everything out I’m sure we could extend the first few tours to neighbouring worlds aswell without much difficulty!
I’ll keep you updated and if all goes well, get the gellistons to start a tour too!
