Welcome to ParkCrafters! It's awesome to hear you may have some sets that can be recovered! What @Wabigbear said is the best way to go, you can upload your zip file to Google Drive or Dropbox, and personal message any staff member, and we can take a look at it and try to upload missing sets that we don't have. Alternatively, you could upload missing sets from your account directly, but I understand that takes a lot of time... and patience, trust me, we know 😅 Thanks again for offering!

Good luck, you've been added! Sign-ups are now closed! For all competitors, once the video of your effect is completed, feel free to send it via personal message to any staff member on ParkCrafters by December 26th, 2025. Good luck to everyone!

You've been added - good luck!

You've been added to the competition, good luck!

That's very odd - are you moving files into the game like custom content, park files, etc, or are these all just clean installs?

You've been added - good luck!

INFORMATION & SIGNUPSGet ready for some explosions... but pretty explosions!! Welcome to our first pyro-centric focused competition here on ParkCrafters - PyroForge! What is PyroForge?PyroForge is ParkCrafters' first pyro-centric competition focused on effect building in the Advanced Fireworks Editor in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. This competition tests your knowledge of the AFE and pits you up against others who sign up to determine which is everyone's favorite effect! PyroForge RulesTo ensure that this competition runs smoothly, please keep the following rules in mind when participating in PyroForge: You must submit a video recording of your effect in order to qualify for this competition. Fireworks need to be seen in motion! You can include screenshots of your effect along with your video, but you MUST include a video and not only just screenshots. All effects must be created in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 (RCT3) Variations of your effect are allowed, meaning you can create a version with glitter, without glitter, etc. Just note that only one style of effect is required for this competition, but that one effect can have variations. Your effect must be a brand-new effect; it can not be an effect you've created in the past You must be the original creator of your effect; you can not steal someone else's effect from a public pack and submit it Your style of effect is up to you - it can be realistic or more fantasy-inspired, whichever you'd like! This is a solo-only competition; you may not work with other people Staff members are allowed to participate in this competition All submitted effects will be put up for public voting; the effect with the most votes wins! All community rules and guidelines of ParkCrafters apply to this competition. PyroForge AgendaBelow you can find a list of all important dates for this competition.

PyroForge PrizesSimilar to our ParkScape prizes, we plan to give out a badge that increases in tier with each win, as we intend to conduct this competition on a regular basis! Once voting ends, all submitted effects will be compiled into a single pack. The winner will have the honor of uploading the pack to our Downloads section and will be listed as its creator. All included effects will be available for everyone to download! How do I sign up?Interested? Just respond to this thread that you would like to sign up and you are free to get started working on your effect! You can also private message any staff member that you would like to participate and you will be added to the competition. The earlier you sign up, the more time you will have to work on your effect, so plan accordingly! Questions?If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding the PyroForge competition, feel free to ask directly on this thread or send a private message to any ParkCrafters staff, and we'll be happy to help! Good luck to all competing members! COMPETITORS:@Anon-P @wolfpaw @ShadowDragons @Xecronius @Kriscendo

Welcome to ParkCrafters! Yes, RCT3 can be played on Windows 11! I currently use Windows 11 and can run the game just fine. It sounds like you have configuration files all over the place and will need to uninstall RCT3 and reinstall it on one of your internal storage drives instead of OneDrive. Which version of RCT3 are you using? Complete Edition from Steam or an original disc version?

Don't know much about this game but super excited to see what people will create with this! Thanks for sharing!

Welcome to ParkCrafters! I definitely remember seeing your amazing RCT3 creations back in the day, super happy to see you here!

Some key features: Animated scenery is now scalable New spring mechanic to attach to scenery to move them More new blueprints from Planet Coaster 1 New coasters and coaster pieces Better management options and prestige balancing Small improved UI tweaks like more information on tooltips and utility pieces Weather system has been updated and now has thunderstorms with lightning that can strike your rides, snow that can freeze pools without pool heaters, and more weather customization and dangers for guests like sunburns Festive scenery is being added for free, with over 200 pieces!
