I'm 86 hours in, made it across the tar pit and immediately went back to finish 5 starring. I'm in the mountains, finished building all the roads and have been trying to set up, or add to, a Zipline network. Every existing zipline I have tried to use says "No lines available", even when another is in clear view. I have placed my own within 300m of another (according to the map) and still have it give me the same message. Not a single zipline out of a dozen -ish has been useable, be they mine or another's. They will highlight one further away and say it is out of range, but not acknowledge the one right in front of me on the next peak. I cannot rotate them like I see players doing in videos. I can find no bindable controls (PC - Director's Cut) to rotate them. If I place my cursor over one I can see in the distance, while trying to place one (again, within 300m according to the map) I get nothing. If I open the map and click on the one within range I'd like to connect too: nothing. This mechanic makes no sense to me, and not a single video I've watched on it has actually broken it down. They have all been "put one here and here and here", etc. I'm at a loss and getting frustrated. Trying to 5 star all the Preppers is such a tedious time suck, I'm not sure I can afford to keep playing this game. I'm not sure how any adult, with a job and family and all their related responsibilities, has time to repeatedly spend 45 minutes getting a package up a hill in a video game. I get that it is part of the journey, most of which I have enjoyed thus far. The Mountains are breaking me however. It seems like the answer is right there. Ziplines. Simple enough... except they are not. Why is this so unintuitive, what am I missing?
