I mean to some extent i even understand that. But my thoughprocess behind this is: we got promised this huge new feature of switch tracks. Turns out on release it was nothing like we expected, was very limited, only available on 1 coaster model and the novelty wore off fairly quick with that. Fast forward 11 months, the most requested feature swing launches is finally making it into the game we imagined it, but frontier then decided to put that in the dlc. To me atleast it just feels kinda off tbh :/ This is something again where i dont understand why frontier did it this way. They completely removed the option from the squencer to simulate nighttime on dark rides. How are people without rt supposed to make any dark rides then? My gpu luckily supports that feature but just yesterday the global illumination setting was crashing on my newest nvidia driver. So yeah im currently forced to play without rt and without any possibilites to simulate darkness inside rooms

tbh i do like the theme of the pack a lot. maybe because im a big hp fan or maybe because i was thinking about building such an area for some time now. but i also have to be very honest that i did expect something more towards a spooky set which in my opinion would also be more versatile for different themes. what i realy dont like is the swing launch "feature" now being locked behind a paywall and frontier simply going the easy route once again. instead of giving us this feature of all switch tracks, maybe even expand switch tracks to other ride models they decided to again put up limitations. the deciding factor if im gonna get this dlc depends on the patch notes and how the game runs when the updates out. i think the flying theatre is a step in the right direction. we dearly need more of these modern and/or themepark flatrides. on a last note, i think now with the dlc dropping next week there will be no spooky this year. if they go for the 3 months release schedule id guess they will give us a christmas thingy in december and maybe leave spooky for next years season.

thanks for the feedback. that empty plaza is indeed a thorn in my eye and im looking at fixing that soon too :) currently though im working on some ideas for the new portal world i want to add soon to the park.

Hey everyone :D sorry for not posting that much lately, i honestly just didnt feel very motivated to write big posts or anything. just havent been feeling that well. i did however wanted to make a short post here about something new i did in the park. so i have this one big show building in my park, i was using it as a placeholder in the hopes of sometime being able to add a cinema flatride or something into it. however that showbuilding was just way to big and felt very missplaced in its location. ive decided to completely teardown said building and replace it with something new and much more exciting :) My idea was to build a mack stryker coaster and try to squeeze it into this very limited space. Space in itself was one of the biggest challenges in this new addition to the park. i did realy enjoy having that challenge of trying to get the most out of the space i had, it honestly contributet a lot in how the final coaster came out. next challenge was trying to come up with a theme or idea i could follow. so i came up with the idea of the "Grand hall of exhibition", an old industrial factory building where the greatest inventors come together for the inventors fair to showcase their newest machines. This is where Exhibition 77 comes into play. Professor Voltarius invites guests to showcase his new teleportation machine! I honestly also love the view from the mythology area much more. instead of looking at a green wall behind the buildings there is a now a beatifull skyline painted by coaster tracks. I hope you like this small update and as always i encourage you to go download the park and check the queue and ride out for yourself :) till next update where i will continue with the showcase of my areas

the scaling option is always there. for example i can select a building group with nongridded and gridded items, yet when i scale it it only affects the scaleable pieces. regarding the update. i honestly dont know what to think about it. rotating gridded pieces is nice, however this was something i expected to have been in the game anyway since release. same goes for recoloring paths. yeah its great but like cmon this is nothing groundbreaking realy :/ same for the square queue paths. we have been left with what we had for 11 months now, we found ways to work with what we have and even resorted to using stamps. i cant get myself hyped for basic stuff like this. yes its cool and will make our lifes easier in a way but yeah its just that for me realy. the hint towards swing launches is exciting however i fear we gonna get one coaster model and its gonna be limited to that one model and thats it, just like the switch tracks etc. i cant stop thinking about where we would actually be if the game didnt release in the state it did and if frontier didnt had to "waste" 11 months of times and ressources to bring the game up to par with the first one and truly make it feel like yes this is the second entry to the franchise and takes everything from the first and makes it better

Ive looked a bit closer at catwalks in the game and honestly i doubt we will ever see this changed. They apparently dont even care to make the catwalks realistic in anyway… even the struts are done so lazy. Like whats supposed to happen here? Doors the wheel assembly have some crazy technology to turn transparent and clip trough these?😂

i have about 5 rides where all my triggers are messed up and i cant fix them cause everything is mixed up :/ and if after 2 months they dont come forward with a huge list of bug fixing in general then i might look for other games to main :(

I absolutely feel you. I miss the times where we had literally devs sitting in streams explaining to us how they developed certain system of the game. Meanwhile planco 2 has certain features that were never even explained to us how they actually work… I just want to leave this video here for nostalgia purposes :) Its realy mindblowing when you realise there is about 20-30 hours of content that was streamed to us all related to planco 1, workshop creations, community feedback or dev deep dives. That was the frontier i fell in love with back then

Its not just frontier, its parts of the community aswell. Zero expectations, zero standards. Thats the exact reason why the gaming industry is turning for the worse. „you are not entitled to expect anything“ „calling them out isnt a healthy customer-company relationship“ These people clearly just dont care at all, just like frontier… And then franchises get bad releases, bad reception and get put to the grave. Ill be laughing my bum off when planco 3 comes around and ends up beeing the final nail to the coffin. The themepark genre was so dry for such a long time, and still is. I was realy happy with what frontier did with planco 1 and now they seem to throw that all away. Uts like shyguy said, the franchise is amazing but its in the wrong hands currently

Man i dont mean to bash other platforms or their users. But the frontier discord is just so full of defensive people. Whenever i write anything slightly critical i have the same 4-5 users jumping in trying to come up with excuses, workarounds and „oh it cant be that bad“. Even worse they joke at people voicing criticism and keep making fun of that criticism. Ive never felt more alienated from a franchise or its community… Glad i found this place tbh

Very well said broski👍🏽

Didnt think id be commenting on this thread. But after seeing what frontier has just pulled on us i totally agree. This appears to be the start of frontiers downfall and degradation of their quality… no more livestreams so we are left in the vacuum again… what feels like the 50th time sinde this game came out

One thing i realy like about rct3 was the diversity. We had old rides, new rides and even prototype rides that at the games releasetime havent even been built yet. I wouldnt mind having such a variety coming back to pc but i doubt it :/

But add to that also a complete rework of the existing ones, implementing guests getting actually wet and moving away from the horrible premade pieces that are way to steep and uncreative :D

Yeah tbh im feeling the same way. You can also see this in the dropping player numbers once again. Frontier was finally reaching higher bumber again but then decided „hey 2 months of nothing there you go“. Steam forums also seems to get less and less community interactions… I also think that the showcased „challenge“ mode is just another big miss and hints at them again not having any clear direction with the game. Out off all things we asked for and suggested, challenge mode? I mean i read a lot of comments, forums posts an such and challenge mode was one thing i surely didnt see often at all. Could be that they didnt have anything else to show, but then still i think there could have been shared more about what they are working on. Wouldnt have hurt anyone, but this way again, its hurting the community
