Am I correct in reading that list in that they finally added the ability to adjust multiple ride prices all at the same time?

Yes. Lots of UI changes on the management window.

I put together a new pirate-themed wooden coaster called the Wooden Raider.
It doesn't have all of the scenery in this screenshot, but I thought this looked nice.

Just like with Elite we are seeing an entire section of the patch notes dedicated to audio. It seems Frontier (rightfully) takes it very seriously.

Mathew Florianz is an amazing guy. Planet Coaster has the best audio ive heard on any game, too bad is not going to be stated on reviews or awards.
I actually read only one review and it did mention having great tunes. Also, just went to Mathew Florianz's twitter and he quoted a line from Gamestop's review about how audio is one of the game's highlights.
So at least some people do notice!

How O_O
I can't even finish the start of my park (making a train station I'm happy with).
That's insane!

Getting there:
This is really impressive. I'm not even going to pretend to understand how you do some of this crap.
On another note, holy crap was the final holiday mission freaking annoying to complete. I LOATHE the new Aging system. Fortunately it appears to be limited to the campaign.

Hahaha, thank you. It was done with a lot of out of the box thinking.
That looks great, Ridley!
I went back to the game and I'm finishing most of the buildings for my Lake Town area of my park. I'm in normal mode with money expenses so it will take a while until I save money to build all the buildings, hahah... I got most done in sandbox though, so it's just placing blueprints only.

Yep, for the Japanese version of the park (rumors say the US's version will have some differences). But don't expect it by next year. Check out this thread. Here's the full image:

Thank you Mik!
Hope to see your park soon.
Concept art from the real thing at Universal japan. Opening in 2019 before the olympics. Kirby fan has more info in his post.
No mods right now.
We can create character statues with the artshapes (the bigger they are they easier, the diffiuvult thing is trying to make them guest size) but they have no animations nor textures (just the colours of the artshape you use). Is like uilding characters out of primitive forms.
I really dont want to put them out until I finish the area, the workshop is getting pretty bad with stealing stuff and not giving any credit whatsoever.
Will try to put all those bluprints in the future.

What's the likelihood of being able to rescale the decorations and stuff down the line?
SpacePirate Ridley

Impossible from what they have said. Thats why the artshapes come in different sizes.
With just a smaller piece (half the smallest one we have now) for every art shape I would be supper happy.

I would assume it'd become very costly. I don't know how they're doing the instancing in this game, as well as some other elements of the rendering and CPU pipelines, but having different scales on items could fuck that up and make things way more costly than they are. Also if the LODs are set to distance instead of screen percentage, that could make assets change into lower LODs while still being very big in screen (ie, if you scaled up the asset).
Again, don't know the specifics and maybe it's something totally different, but it might have to do with instancing and the reason why right now we can place so many of those assets without making the game's framerate go to shit.
I'm holding off now too in hope that it goes on sale in two days.
So i'm looking for a new PC to play this quite nicely. Seeing as this is one of those simulation-heavy PC games, that are not only GPU but quite CPU-hungry too (alá Cities Skylines or Anno 2205, which i'm also looking to play), do you guys think a combo of an i7 6700k (4,0 GHz with 4,2 Boost) and a GTX1080 or an OC i7 6700k with 4,8 GHz and a GTX 1070 is more suitable?

Just topped the mountain with bowser flag on the Super Nintendo World recreation.
Thowmps took a bunch of time lol
I think with anyone of those you are going to get good results. Im playing with a 970GTX and i7-4790K 4,0 GHz and for the big parks what i do is just play in 720p windowed.
By good results I mean a very playable game on normal parks because you are never going to get 60fps with large super detailed parks at 1080p no matter what PC you have right now, at least until some years pass.

Thanks for the insight. Think im going with the OC i7 and the 1070 then, since it's a tad less expensive.
Oh and btw. your creations are amazing, but i'm sure you know that by now
You're one big reason, i'm soo looking forward to this game. It's like looking forward to "My Childhood - Remastered and Revised" Can someone help me out here?
I'm going to get myself a Surface Pro 4 tomorrow and my girlfriend reeeeally wants to play this game. I know that a Surface is an unsuitable device to run this game anyhow, but I heard some people are able to "kind of" run it on really low settings.
Now the question I have: I'm still not decided yet on which version of the SP4 I'm getting, does anyone here have experience with or know if getting an i7/8gb RAM instead of an i5/8gb RAM makes a difference here? I'd gladly pay a bit more if it meant a noticably more enjoyable experience for my girlfriend with this game that she's so obsessed with.
Would really appreciate any help

The i7 would make a noticeable difference. In my experience with the Surface products it's always best to max out the CPU, since that's the GPU as well. Might be make or break playable with an i7, you just never know.Can someone help me out here?

Thanks for answering man.
But isn't the main reason for the performance issues the bad graphics chip in the Surface (that is only very slightly better in the i7?)? I'm quite clueless when it comes to the tech stuff.
You'd have to confirm with someone who actually owns one of those Surfaces, buuuutCan someone help me out here?

I have a desktop pc with an overclocked i5 and a geforce 970 and the game chugs even on low/medium settings when there is a decently large park with lots of rides.
The game just seems to be a resource hog.
Honestly i wouldn't expect either of those machines would give you a desirable play experience with this game unfortunately.
There's a chance she's so desperate that she won't care as much about stuttering etc. ... at least for a week or something.
But yeah, still holding out for an SP4 owner (who tried planet coaster on it) to confirm or deny. Thanks for answering!

The price difference between i5 and i7 seems to be 400. You can probably buy a stationary pc that will perform significantly better for that difference. I don't know the answer to your question though.
I get 30% off of it, which makes it "just" 200. But yeah, I get your point.
I have a 2500k with an Rx480 and it runs fine (40 - 50fps in small parks with max graphics)

And BTW, changing graphic options usually does nothing for the FPS, or very little.
I recommend everyone to play 720p windowed, not only the game runs much better when you start to get bigger parks, but is pretty nice when your are building things to look at examples on the internet, or have a video up while building.

Hope you get a new PC soon then
Im glad I bought a new good one for the witcher 3 when it was released, now it works really good with this type of games (dat i7)
If your laptop screen is 1080 just try to play 720p. Maybe you can chug along, trying to go lower graphics setting doesnt seem to work for this game, but playing at a smaller resolution does.

Enjoying this but i'm a little overwhelmed. Every time something is different than RCT I don't know what's going on
The default prices seem expensive, how much should I be charging for coasters?
Why is it so hard just to make a damn drink stand that doesn't have a bunch of scenery attached to it

I generally start in the 8-14 range depending on the coasters ratings/popularity. And then raise or lower til I find the highest price that still fills the queue.
Click 'custom' instead of the default 'blueprints' tab when you click on shops, it has them all available without any scenery at all.
