Huh this doesn't happen to me. Ur saying if I send a request to someone no longer playing the 21st person doesn't see my request. I don't think thats whats happening. I send requests to over 200 neighbors. And I always get the parts I need even if it takes a few hours or a day.Originally Posted by dirtyboots17
I have hundreds of inctive neighbors since i just restarted playing again a few months ago after a 3 year hiatus. I should have deleted all the neighbors and started over. As soon as i came back, But i didnt and now they are all mixed. I simply don't have the time for that. I gift everyone and I get the parts I need when i need them despite all these mixed opinions. I send requests to the entire list. Maybe that's not how I should do it. I'll be receiving parts for the next month for an appliance I no longer need apparently? Lol
No, I'm saying that the 21st person won't see your request until the next day. Only the first 20 neighbours will be able to answer on the first day. If you send a request to an inactive player, obviously they won't answer it. It will eventually expire. No, you will not be receiving parts for the next month... but probably for a week.
If you ever pay attention to the date of a request from a neighbour, sometimes it says 2 days ago or even older.
The first 20 neighbours can answer. However, the other 180 neighbours will not get your request until the following day(s). Hopefully someone will back me up on this, but there is plenty of information in this forum confirming this limit. It's not about "mixed opinion", it's fact.
If you send 200 requests for oven elements on Monday and 200 requests for metal sheets on Tuesday, your neighbours will NOT receive the requests for metal sheets that day. They will only receive your requests for oven elements from the previous day and for the remainder of the week.
You will receive oven elements minutes, hours or a day later, but you will not receive metal sheets.
If you send out requests for different parts on the same day, you may receive enough parts in a timely manner to build your appliance and therefore not realize that you've jammed up the system.
If you check your storage, you may notice that you have continued to receive parts that you requested days ago. It doesn't sound like you can be bothered to do so, so believe what you want.
You can play the game any way you want if it works for you. I was giving advice to someone who was experiencing issues with not receiving gifts or having their requests answered.
From the Game Guide
Requests
You can send parts requests to ask your neighbours to help to build your appliances or task requests for their help during goals. You can send as many requests as you like per game day but your neighbours can only accept 20 of your requests. If you send more than 20 requests today, the remainder of your requests will carry to the next game day. Although there's no limit to how many requests you can send each day, take note not to jam up your request queue and cause a delay in the response time, especially during time sensitive goal period.
Im so sorry you are having this issue! I've heard it repeatedly from others too.
Take note of what everyone is telling you about the gifting, request & response system. The 20 limit is insane but it's vital to game play!
You can go the the looking for neighbor board & post out there or respond to other posts. That area has helped me tremendously! I gift but I'm not the best at tipping daily & there are times I tip silently & that's if I tip. I post for most people to post on my wall what they want & I'll gift them that next rotation & I tell them they can just post okn my wall without tipping. During goals I try to tip people what they request, so they get that item twice..but sometimes I get too many requests & can't do that. So I try my best to help others out. The biggest problem I have is I either gift early in the morning or at night & that can be a problem for some.
Anyway... the is the add me board link is below. I hope it helps you find others who play like you

Good luck & feel free to add me if our style matches
Thank you to everyone who posted about the 20 limit with exactly how it works. I thought that was it but to see so many say this is it & even show what the game guide states... THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH

Adding active players who don't care about tipping.
I don't care if my neighbor's tipping rate is zero so long as responding/accepting material requests, gifting goal parts during a goal & usable parts during non-goal times.
Started playing August 2017
This is a game, it's supposed to be fun.
Not stressful
Dirtyboots, I agree with you 100%! I always send out 20 requests and not more and as for the 20th neighbor not being active, it’s true the 21st person won’t see the request until the next day.

Does anyone know how long gifts will stay valid before accepting, seems like after 6 hours they disappear especially when I?m trying to visit before accepting the gift...it?s how I tip and gift neighbors before I accept the gift 🎁
The gifts stay indefinitely. I have multiple bakeries and some have gifts from months ago.
They do disappear at the 6 hour mark for some reason, but at reset I do see older requests that was sent.

I tested this out and my unaccepted gift is still pending after 6 hours, so it does seem to stay indefinitely as monstertop said.
Perhaps your older gifts are getting bumped by newer ones, if you're accepting from newest to oldest and leaving time for more gifts to come in.

That makes sense!
