Ace It's ok... You don't suck... nearly everyone... Even the great people, Always have creations that fail. Most people have 1 creation that's voted up heaps, and the rest aren't. Soon if you put the effort in, You'll have a creation that everyone will vote up! Also, Sometimes even when it is a great creation that took you ages, it still (I think) has a high chance of failing.
Votes in Powder Toy are pretty much the Rule of SHINY
In other words, the number of votes a save gets really has nothing to do with how much work you put into it, or how well it works, but rather the volume of people who see your save and go o___o and then vote for it out of excitement.
Take the 3D electronic spiral for example. It's a spiral. Copied on top of itself five times. It has more votes than a laser cannon that took me a week to design. o_x And the power plant save, which gained like 400 votes for no reason I can fathom. In a single weekend. o___O
Don't take lack of votes seriously, some really weird stuff gets excess votes and I'm still wondering why.
Some people only vote for people who want to, or they look for REALLY good saves, in their opinion. I've seen some below average saves getting a ton of votes, or some good saves getting low votes. I don't mind, because everyone looks at stuff, and they only sometimes vote, but some saves are REALLY good, but some people don't vote because they don't think they have to.
Truth be told, they don't have to. Signs telling people to vote bug me to death because it's like begging, if your saves are good enough you don't -need- a sign to remind people to upvote.
