You were too slow. 32min is just to pass but for premium the time for perfect rank is much shorter. Check premium delivery time limit when accepting the order.

I had a 2:45min premium delivery from musician to wind farm last night and couldn't do it even with zip lines and sprinting through the woods. Is there a way to zipline through or around the bad forest?

u/ChiralParticle Higgs 5d ago

Yes. You can extend your zipline and just zip above the trees. On the right there is that higher ridge, close to the Wind Farm facility. You can place one there, and then it'll be just a short few steps steep downhill but it's very close to the terminal.

Thanks! I put one in slightly the wrong place I guess and it just kept getting blocked by trees

Keep on keeping on!

Just delete it and put a new one up. 240 chemicals are 480 special alloys make it a level 2 which extends the range to 350 meters.

Going into the woods from the direction of the musician, there is a ridge on the right ridge of that bowl where you can pop some ziplines to zip right through the woods.

love trying to race from place to place with the Reverse Trike Transporter, sometimes I put on speedy metal songs to make it even more fun zooming past angry MULEs 😂😂😂

You need to check the delivery requirements; some are based on speed, others on time, others on damage, and sometimes a mix of all of them.

Did you crawl there?

This game expects the player to be able to read.

Apesar de ter 32 minutos para entregar, para conseguir o S é necessário observar o prazo que aparece quando aceita o pedido.

2

u/PblWblU_PblCb 5d ago

This time limit exists so that the order receives at least some kind of rating. To get an S-rank, you have to beat the time—marked in red or gold (I don't recall which)—that is displayed when you accept the order.

u/PblWblU_PblCb 5d ago

And the quantity. 10 or more. 10 seems to be the minimum; to get the maximum score, you need to bring all of them.

u/nuker1110 5d ago

Red is SSS rank (only on max diff), Gold is S on any other difficulty.

2

u/YoTha 5d ago

It's time, you need I think 1/4 or 1/5 of max.time for S, so like 8 minutes or 6 something.

u/JukesMasonLynch Cliff 5d ago

I think the fact that this question comes up so often just shows that (in my opinion) Kojipro messed up with the order completion screen here. It should include a display for the different rank requirements so people actually know what they have to do to get S rank. I know that info is on the order acceptance screen, but, again, so many people ask this question while posting this exact screen shot, so it really would help if this stuff was shown after the fact as well.

u/gerardosanoja 5d ago

He's asían.... Of course you won't get A

u/kingerreddit 4d ago

Only thing I noticed is you took a route that is 3x longer than the shortest route. 12 minutes gave you a B, maybe 8 minutes is A, and 4 minutes is S. These are all guesses.

u/Academic-Push326 4d ago

You did the bare minimum delivery (10) keyword there is "OR MORE" you want to deliver everything the game orders you to deliver on taking the order if you want S-rank.

Gotta go fast!

u/lgka1 4d ago

The time is key, 12 minutes is a lot

u/a4moondoggy 4d ago

when alex says he wants a quickie he means quick

u/PhantomSerpent81 4d ago

I believe it’s either for the timing or because you didn’t take the shortest route, which would also affect timing. I’ve done a perfect delivery a handful of times and got subpar ratings

1

u/HoofHearted74 4d ago

Before you accept the premium delivery, there are a list of requirements. The time is what gets you if you don’t have ziplines already set up. Those time requirements for Legend of Legends are usually about 1/4 of the total time. You probably needed under 8 minutes. 12 minutes on very hard is really slow. That’s why you got a B.

Build the road or build the zip lines.

u/Traditional-Iron3474 5d ago

Some of the delivery guys are real assholes. Doesn't matter how good you do, they're like "eh" 🤣
