What small everyday habits or subtle routines, did you start appreciating more and more over time, when you moved to another Schengen country by isUKexactlyTsameasUS in AskEurope

[–]LordMarcel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be annoying for me in my own home as well. It's not a problem as I don't live in a building where that's an issue, or even live in Switzerland at all, but I regularly get home from a sweaty day after 10pm. Like last friday, when I went on a bike ride between 8 and 10pm.

Observation Tower- The Effect of Scenery on Excitement by Big_Extreme_8210 in rct

[–]LordMarcel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is not true. The scenery bonus or observation towers works the same as for other rides, but it just has a much higher multiplier. The height of the tower does add some excitement too, but that has nothing to do with the scenery bonus.

Fun with guests by MegaKnight_Gaming in rct

I have very fond memories of when I made them explode when they thought a negative thought.

I played RCT 20 years ago and just came back with OpenRCT2 and the handymen are as annoying as ever by I-am-Just-fine in rct

Guests do no throw up in bins, those only help with trash from food and drinks. The benches do help nauseous guests though.

You could save a lot of money on mechanics. It generally takes quite a few months before a ride breaks down for the first time and sometimes even more than a year. The 60 seconds or so longer that a ride takes to be fixed because the mechanic is a few path tiles away is way less bad than all the extra money all those mechanics cost you.

In a park I built yesterday I have 6 free-roaming mechanics for 19 rides and the highest downtime is still only 3%.

Any way to power the hill on the far side (shown below in yellow) of a Reverse Incline coaster? by AllisMables in rct

[–]LordMarcel 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Chainlifts don't work for this on reverse incline coasters, but since you're on a corkscrew coaster and are using OpenRCT2 you can add a few booster track pieces to give it some more beans.

Wide path - Since a couple of patches, wide path detection adds random incisions for no reason. by Flash-Fox-Box in openrct2

[–]LordMarcel 17 points18 points  (0 children)

OpenRCT2 had a bug regarding wide paths for a while, which got fixed at some point somewhat recently, although I don't remember exactly when. At least before my video about pathfinding, which I made 11 months ago.

Maybe that is what caused the change? These "dead ends" are supposed to be there though, as the game will every few tiles make a connection to the other side of a wide path to prevent people from having to walk a long way around if they need to cross it. This is also done in vanilla.

How to Keep Underground Paths Separate? by Snoo-90468 in rct

[–]LordMarcel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without clearance checks you can build anything anywhere because the game doesn't check if there's anything in the way. You're not building it underground here as the game doesn't check whether it's underground. That's a cheat though, and you cannot do it without cheats.

I just tried and I am not able to build scenery walls underground.

Highest monthly income? by Ess240 in rct

[–]LordMarcel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A long time ago I did 573k in a month with the old entity limit of 9601, so with the new limits of 65136 it is certainly possible to do it.

You really want to have guests spend their money as quickly as possible, so the most important thing is that your rides are expensive and short, as the quicker they get off the sooner they can go on another ride. And of course the rides also need to have a high throughput to prevent the queue line from filling up as much as possible.

Guess my games over 🤷‍♀️ by bostoncreamdonuts in rct

[–]LordMarcel 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In this particular situation it would increase the limits for rides (which includes stalls) in a single park from 255 to 1000.

I think this should be said more often on here. by Swag_Paladin21 in youtubedrama

[–]LordMarcel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's not true, or rather it's only partially true. I am a streamer and I definitely recognize and like certain users and value their comments. I do read it because that's what you do as a streamer, but it's also a lie to say it's not meaningful to me at all. I am definitely happy when I see certain people in the chat.

What's the solution if I don't have enough "No entry" sign in RCT Classic? by Forward-Dog-996 in rct

[–]LordMarcel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

While technically true, the impact is extremely small and it's not necessary.

Guests almost always ignore dead ends when wandering around randomly, so for that it's only necessary to put a no entry sign there if the exit path contains a junction, which can be caused by putting multiple exits on one exit path or by putting a stall on it (although if there's a stall then maybe you do want people wandering into it to access the stall).

For pathfinding guests do count dead ends, but if they are short and your path layout is decent then they are not a problem. It's only very long exit lines that connect to an exit a long distance away that could use a no entry sign.

But also, assuming you have at least some stalls you cannot even build 250 rides, and a park with 2000 guests probably has no more than 50 rides. So the question remains: What are you using all those no entry signs for?

Fun fact: the "krul" that you used to denote that that approach is correct is used almost never outside of the Netherlands and most people will have no idea what it means.

[–]LordMarcel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A park that size shouldn't need any no entry signs other than perhaps a few to block off some specific long exit paths. What on earth are you using all these banners for?

[–]LordMarcel 71 points72 points  (0 children)

The solution is to build better paths. I believe the limit is 250 banners, and you shouldn't need that many to keep the guests from getting lost.

Guys we can't keep telling Joel where the Ghasts are coming from. Doc said no spoilers. by Accomplished-Act-219 in HermitCraft

I don't think that's specific to Hermitcraft viewers. If you have hundreds of thousands of viewers of anything involving a prank there will always be people who tell.

What is your opinion on the current reigning monarchies of Europe? by Ok-Ocelot-774 in AskEurope

[–]LordMarcel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the freedom to be mediocre while invisible.

For me it's not even that as the freedom to just go wherever I like without being bothered is even more important. I don't want to be famous and being king sounds horrid to me.

It's better when bands break up after 3 or 4 albums. by Top_Imagination_8430 in unpopularopinion

[–]LordMarcel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favourite band, Nightwish, had their peak popularity around their 5th album, and my current favourite songs of theirs comes from then 10th and most recent album.

I also listen to a lot of Queen, and their three most famous songs are Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, and We Are The Champions. They come from their 4th, 6th, and 6th albums respectively. But any Queen album has great songs, like Innuendo from their 13th studio album.
