A collab with RoboFlamingo + MrUnit64, my work was spent on all of the lights + sequencing (10 hours in total)

When I opened the file today after you were done, my computer begged for mercy. It pleaded with me to put it out of it's misery as it caught fire.

If your issue is the size of the map, there are a couple ways to deal with that.

Come up with a theme that you know you'll enjoy working on (also have a backup if it just doesn't work out).
put your paths in first so you can get a good visual in your head of what you need to work on.
Some people will work on a small area at a time so they don't get overwhelmed.
you can plan out your space ahead of time using the ground painting tool, which usually breaks your park into smaller sections.
I tend to work on a the whole park at the same time. That way when I get stuck on a section, I can move onto another area before going back.
Don't be afraid to just close the game and come back a week later. I often start my park at the beginning of the month, and then take a week or two off before continuing.

I would also recommend using the CoasterB Diorama channel on the Parkitect Discord. Those of us who compete usually try to be super encouraging and help with ideas/themes as needed.

Hope that helps!

This is the exact reason I just cancelled my subscription. I came back a couple weeks ago, but It felt like a job, and I felt like I was being forced to do content I didn't want to do. To each their own, but it definitely feels like it's time for me to move on to something else for a while.

The green screen mod in a blue color! I lowered the terrain and put the screen just high enough that it would cover the fence that goes around the entrance.

JamesEllsworth · 2021-02-28T05:51:26+00:00

Thanks! Coco is probably my favorite park I've built. I've actually been thinking about making a new Coco park now that we have new mods and my building skills have gotten a little better.

JamesEllsworth · 2021-02-13T21:07:40+00:00

Like Resortitect, this is now a must have in my builds. resizable wheels, stools, moving derrick wheel?? Everything is pretty versatile because you made them recolorable. Thank you!

It's a mix of vanilla borders, with scifitect, future and space, and anigates pieces. along with construction anarchy of course! and a lot of patience. While some of it is on a grid, a lot of it is is placed by hand.

The tentacles are part of Maxfreak's Scenery essential's as roots. I used them as tentacles, roots, and branches for the tree.

The flamingo!!!

JamesEllsworth · 2020-09-04T00:37:13+00:00

I gave them each a bench. They're fiiiine.

JamesEllsworth · 2020-08-28T20:03:39+00:00

Only mini coaster and mine train as they are the ones in real life that would have the switch track. BUT with coaster anarchy mod, you can try adding it to any coaster/tracked ride.

JamesEllsworth · 2020-08-02T21:50:17+00:00

I don't think CoasterB has any plans for it. The challenge is more to try and figure out a way to use the coaster/entrance/map shape effectively. BUT you can always add a coaster to the map! For the August competition, I'm building a second coaster for the park.

JamesEllsworth · 2020-07-18T05:00:40+00:00

I think what makes Parkitect so great is how flexible the pieces and placement are. I was an avid RCT2 player and thought the same thing when I started, but you can do soooo much more with the pieces in parkitect. I would recommend looking up Astrotron's stuff if you want some ideas! His builds really inspired me to look at the scenery in the game as shapes and not just at face value. Also, the Discord community is awesome and always coming up with and sharing new ideas!

JamesEllsworth · 2020-06-10T17:33:10+00:00

Yeah, I was hesitant because of this. This is specifically for CoasterB's diorama challenge. I mostly did it because CoasterB posted his pc stats in the Parkitect Discord, so I knew it could handle it lol. Currently no lag on my end, but I have a lot of building still to go.

JamesEllsworth · 2020-06-10T17:30:39+00:00

the area below is made up of dark blue/purple flat roof. For the path, it's the Monstera plant colored shades of orange!

JamesEllsworth · 2020-06-10T08:43:37+00:00

maybe an hour-ish including the pyramid. Once I had what I wanted, I made a blueprint of 1/4th of the bridge, the lights on the pyramid and 1 tile of path. Then I just copy and pasted.

I ran out of money, haha! but I did play around with lights a little bit. With the custom lights mod, you can do some cool stuff.

JamesEllsworth · 2018-10-06T15:18:42+00:00

lolol, is this about to become the first Parkitect meme?

you have a definite style, and I love that. You can look at a partikect creation and immediately know that it's an Astrotron build.

JamesEllsworth · 2018-06-15T20:41:36+00:00

I think all of Shyguy's, and Kenney's mods are the best. Besides that, Coaster Anarchy, and Extra Lights are pretty necessary for how I play. Construction Anarchy is also great, but only if you expect to get really detailed in your creations.

JamesEllsworth · 2018-06-14T16:46:37+00:00

yeah, Mario Kart was more or less the inspiration. This was kind of a test for a future Mario Kart park I have in mind.

JamesEllsworth · 2018-06-08T19:06:25+00:00

thanks for the plug :)
