Hey all, I just got Planet Coaster and I'm finding it super intimidating, any suggestions to ease myself in?

Try these...

Still not a fan of the path system, especially trying to exit a plaza to a path that's not the same size. Ugh, so finicky.

Hey all, I just got Planet Coaster and I'm finding it super intimidating, any suggestions to ease myself in?

Just play the scenarios.

In terms of difficulty, it's probably the easiest simulator I've ever played - it's incredibly difficult to not make money and progress in the game. Just make a sandbox, dump down 10 generic flat rides without any theming, speed it up and wait for the cash to pour in, Thankfully the fun of the game is in the building tool-sets it provides as the complete lack of challenge would murder any other sim title.

I just picked it up recently as well. My employees keep quitting due to lack of work, what am I doing wrong? I'm still paying you! Just relax and stay employed...

Sounds like you just have too many food/whatever stalls. It sounds crazy in real world terms, but even for a large park, you only need a handful of stalls.

 

[Tinúviel]

I really wish there were some form of grid/align system in this game my park looks so warped when i raise the camera,i played a lot of Simcity/Skylines and i miss their type of map alignment.

On another topic AI and management stuff need couple of patches to sort some things out like when you place the Blooon and Hat shops people immediately wants to buy them and no one really cares about rides they just want to buy stuff.Second thing is this aging system which is kinda frustrating i'm not totally against the system but current state is feels rushed and makes game unnecessarily annoying.

 

[Sullichin]

Alright, getting heavy into this game now. I love it, it really feels like a modern RCT and you can make some awesome parks and rides. Even my shitty parks look pretty cool.

- I fuckin suck at making paths. Especially making paths that are in mid air, I feel like I'm lacking any sort of fine control compared to making coaster paths. Lot of 'malformed path part' and unexpected angles when I click.

- What's up with the coasters on the workshop with some bullshit reverse banked turns and high excitement ratings? http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=831341877 I feel like that stuff would tank my ratings in RCT. I also made a couple of pretty standard fare wooden coasters that didn't get near that excitement level so I'm wondering if there's something to that. I'm having some difficulty making a coaster with great ratings compared to RCT. But I love the track designer, auto complete, live heat maps and ride cam.

I definitely miss the grid-based system of the older RCT games because it made it easy to plan exact, well-designed rides and paths. On the other hand, I like that you can take objects and just kind of plop them anywhere. You have so much freedom and the end result looks more like a real theme park.

You need to select the scenery too.

Just wanted to update this thread with how Super Nintendo World recreation is going.

And this is a comparison with the concept art released by Universal Studios Japan (less finished than the one in the top).

As you can see, you only saw the back of Peach's castle in the concet art, so I had to invent the facade for this one. Heavily inspired in Mario Kart 8's Peach Circuit castle (so Mario Kart 64 remake). I also added the classic waterfall from mario 64, that i really hope the real castle in the park has.
So all the exterior has been done and now I can start working on the rides. I still dont know if its better to add the mario kart ride's entrance inside Peach Castle or inside Bowser's Fortress.

 

[Mik2121]

Kinda late but Ridley, that's looking great! I kind of wanna do also some gaming related theme park, haha. The lake town thing is taking me forever and sometimes it can get a bit tiring so maybe having two parks to go to might alleviate the issue.

 

[23qwerty]

Hey the path building is hot garbage
is there no point to point path building?

 

[TheVoidDragon]

Hey the path building is hot garbage
is there no point to point path building?

I found both the path building and to a lesser extent the rotation/grid for props both extremely hard to actually use properly. I gave up on my idea of a cliff-side staircase going down to an underground train station because they were both so difficult to use beyond just making straight lines. I don't know if i was just missing something but the map i started on had the grid at an angle which meant i couldn't align walls properly.

Seems its not going to work on youtube today.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I think I saw a go-kart track in the Zozo footage.

 

[TimeEffect]

Update on the sim/management aspect please?

Avoided this game just because I didnt want another "create a level without much challenge" game like Cities Skylines.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Security guards confirmed.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Lots of new things, more to come in tonight's streamn (8pm CET, less than 4 hours from now)

-New scenery bits and blobs. Basically a lot of missing stuff to compelte existing scenery. Also lots of amazing new fences.
-Some bluprint rides made by Frontier will have scenery incomporated (basically for people who dont want to build anything).
-New flatride: Zozo. A 1920's style ride.
-New flatride: Elixir Machine. A Huss Booster
-Security staff finally in the game
-Pickpocketing guests (special kind of guests that onyl go to steal).
-Vandalism when guests are really angry, they will brake benches and bins.
-Security cameras so you dont need to place a lot of security guards.

Here is a playlist with what they showed:

[SpacePirate Ridley]

New stream starting now:
https://www.youtube.com/c/planetcoaster/live

and yotube works!

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Go-karts confirmed.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Lots of amazing stuff in the last stream:
-New flatride, normal ferris wheel (we have the crazy one from California Adventure already in the game)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZefN-XNXU4
-New Coaster, Steel Hydra. Suspended swining coaster.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzH2WD6WrMU
-Go Karts. Amazing development on this ride. Different widths of track, chicanes, elevated tracks. Each guest has a different AI, so some are more agressive, others only ride for leisure, theres real races now (RCT3 karts didnt race). Winner does a victory lap. Guests can make spin the kart if they make a bad turn. You can have up to 20 karts, you can make different sets of colours for each kar up to 4 (so if you have 8 karts, you will have 2 blue, 2 green...) You can paint the track of different colors (painting different segments of different colour could let your create rainbow road for example). You can add triggers to the track, theres some kind of scenery that can be attached to the track (like racing lanes for example). Karts at night have volumetric lights.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id147hLw0Lo

And not showed but confirmed for the next videos before the updates hit:
-Vekoma launch boomerang
-Vekoma classic boomerang
-Vekoma Super Giant Inverted Boomerang
-Even more surprises.

 

[TheVoidDragon]

All the new stuff sounds great. I'm a bit surprised there hasn't been anything about a new theme yet though, have there even been any hints about that sort of thing?

 

[D-Pad]

Swinging suspended coaster! Very nice! One of my favorite coaster types. Also hyped for the boomerangs~

Any word on recolorable wooden coasters yet? Haven't played in a while, did I miss that update?

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Nope, but they could be hiding it for next videos.
Also you have to remember last big update bought a complete new, big and very versatile theme with the christmas theme. And I say is really versatile becuase a lot of this stuff is really helpful to create completly different themes.

Swinging suspended coaster! Very nice! One of my favorite coaster types. Also hyped for the boomerangs~

Any word on recolorable wooden coasters yet? Haven't played in a while, did I miss that update?

No, but I really hope it comes sooner rather than later. Its surprising theyve have decided you can paint the tarmac of the karts ride BEFORE leaving us paint wooden coasters.

 

[spiritfox]

I'm surprised they haven't added an observation tower yet. Doesn't seem that hard to do.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Just made the entrance logos of the yoshi darkride Im making for the recreation of Super Nintendo World form Universal Studios Japan. Call it Yoshi's Big Adventure (because of the storyline im making inside the ride), even if we dont know how the real one is going to be called.
Added the universal express and wait time logos just like the real universal rides have in the parks.

I'm surprised they haven't added an observation tower yet. Doesn't seem that hard to do.

There are lots of flat rides that would be easy to do but are still missing. Lets hope lots of them are included in the future.

 

[Pachimari]

It doesn't seem like the community here is active anymore? What happened?

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

It doesn't seem like the community here is active anymore? What happened?

Its a very european game, so I suppose GAF isnt as theme park hardcore and thats why people play other games and eventually dont continue with this game anymore.

There are big communities of hardcore players out there though.
You can follow the best builders on youtube or go to http://www.shyguysworld.com/index.php?action=forum were theres still a big community there that will probably never stop playing the game, just like they did with RCT3.

The apirl update may bring some people here, but then fade again.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

New update is available for downaload on steam, completely free.
This new update is a game changer that to the new no collision detection options.

However, during construction money complications arose and concessions had to be made, resulting in a track that has been criticised as not being fun to race on. Can you realise the full potential of the location?
• Oak Island - For over a century this antique park has provided thrills to many generations, but it's starting to be overshadowed by towering, twisting, modern thrill machines found in other parks, so the board have decided it's time to put the park back on the map and add some of its own, thrilling, modern rides, whilst preserving the heritage of the park. Are you up to the challenge?
• Downtown - Downtown Park was built in an attempt to bring happiness to this notorious crime hotspot, where security guards demand higher salaries due to higher risks, but the founder couldn't overcome the high levels of crime. Can you succeed where they succumbed and bring joy to the area?

Beefy update. Looking forward to diving into the game later tonight.

Very nice update, and I can finally rebuild one of my rct parks with all of the newer additions.

Except...

What does that screenshot mean?

 

[Dyle]

Hooray, can't wait to take advantage of no collision detection!

What does that screenshot mean?

I assume he's talking about recoloring the wooden coasters

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

lol
Then hopefully in a future update.

 

[D-Pad]

I wonder what's keeping it. Maybe they can't get it to look "natural"? We've been able to recolor woodies since the very first RCT game, not to mention all of the painted wooden coasters out there in the world. There must be some technical hurdle they're trying to get over first?

Yes, probably coloring a huge amount of 3D supports at the same time.
Dont forget that what was easy to do in older RCT games because of how simple things were on those, has sometimes been difficult to put to this game that has more complicated stuff.

We just got no collision detection and the have said in some videos they were thinking of adding it in the winter update but it proved to be more difficult than they thought.
Same for duelling coaster, and we have them fiunally, but much better than in older games, for example, older games only coaster with full tracks were able to be duelling. Now up to 5 track rides (so not only coasters) can be duel in groups (you could have a chesire cat ride duel a coaster, a log flume and go karts for example, if thats what you want).

And same for guards, guards were always shit in the older games, now they actually do things you can see, and guests destroy and steal stuff, while in older games it was an invisible bar that affected your rating.

Is the game worth buying? I held off getting when it launch since the game was a bit buggy and didn't have as much content. How is the situation now?

The game was really never buggy, if you want to play bigger more detailed parks you will need a good CPU (i7) though.
They have been adding content for free since the release, but i dont know if that would be enough for what you are looking for.
Theres nothing really important missing that would stop normal gameplay (security guards were the last gameplay feature that was missing and that was implemented with this update).

Woah....Some of the recreations people have done are MIND blowing. I was interested in this game at release but never picked it up. I wonder if I should snag it now. I could use an excuse to upgrade my computer a bit.

This new update is fantastic. But my current park, which I've probably put about 100 hours into, just went from like 90% complete to 70% complete lol. I couldn't stop myself from expanding an area to fit go karts in. And I now want to re-work a bunch of stuff with no clipping.

Do you want to build the theme park of your dreams? If so, buy it immediately. Do you want to have a deep management experience and focus on campaign challenges? Well you'll probably still get a couple dozen hours out of it, but that isn't the games biggest strength. Creativity and building is. As for content, with all they've added there's plenty. Plus it's currently 25% off on Steam!

I have 732 hours and counting, but im a builder. If you are looking for simple management, you will have fun, if you are looking for deep management, you may look into other games.
The game is manly the theme park builder of your dreams with some simple management (more than older RCT, but less than other management games).
