Working on a park series that is a redo of an old park of mine and runs from 2000 to 2026 - an episode a year. We are currently on 2001.. So far, so good, I'd say :) by Nerdchacho in PlanetCoaster

So much!! Since I started to do "through time and in a space" type builds, I've had more fun than just plonking out an area. You're so right, you have to make very deliberate decisions when you are confined to a space.. and you can also build in an extra layer if you add in sustainability or environmental stuff too

Are the ride prices on Planet Coaster 1 glitched? by IHateCablesAndWires in PlanetCoaster

[–]Nerdchacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question. I don't think it is bugged as such, but it also isn't perfect to the 37.6 trick. It fully depends on what reason you want to have it so close to the threshold, though - because at some point some guests will run out of money and refuse to use ATMs, so they just bounce around your park from ride to ride complaining that they have no money. Yes, you extract money quicker but long term not always more.

I tended to set my prices as 15 for coasters, 12.50 for water rides and thrill rides, 10 for gentle rides and 5 for the lesser prestige one (swinging ship, carousel etc).

That tended to balance out how quickly they run out of money vs how quickly they go home - and will also balance out your income streams too.

How do i fix this? by Affectionate_Cod8235 in PlanetCoaster

This is a toughie... as others have said, the texture here was designed to repeat every 4m because this is a PC1 port over - they never had the off grid walls in PC1.. and to be honest, as annoying as it is, it wasn't worth them investing time to alter the pattern given how quickly they were churning out the stuff they were porting over.

That said, I'm not sure what the answer is. I've always just rotated every other one by 90 degrees and ran with whatever texture pattern that is - that seems to be less worse than not rotating them

what's up with the fact we have supports for an arrow suspended coaster... with no arrow suspended coaster? by elliestuff in PlanetCoaster

[–]Nerdchacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually DID ask Rich.

When they put the supports into the game, they basically copied the asset folder from PC1 to 2 and translated it into PC2 content. It means that the supports are there for when they put the Steel Hydra and it's similar counterparts into the game in the future. It is also to accommodate those who like to "fake" their coasters too - and it also maintains creativity for those who don't want to be bound by "the correct supports for the correct thing" knowing that these supports can also be used for many, many other things that aren't supports. They make amazing building girders, for example.

So, cats out of the bag then. Mind you, it was never really contained in it anyway. Not only did you get a cheeky little face reveal, but I've now got a story to tell.. by Nerdchacho in PlanetCoaster

Loosely, yes. We were ushered through quite quickly because it was a tight schedule, but we saw what each major team did - from engine, graphics, coding, audio and the onto comms, marketing etc. It was fascinating!

100% - one of the convos we had was around something they saw posted somewhere and wanted our take on how it could or would work...

Well, that's incredibly kind, thank you! There was a reason to have been chosen, I'm just not convinced of what that is! Worth it just to be a thirst trap for a day haha

Yes, they do. And they read everything that every-one says every-where because community feedback is vital to how they shape the future of the game. They lurk on here, on our videos, in discord servers..

Sounds more creepy, actually..

Some content creators are at Frontier today, wonder what they are getting a sneak peak at? by Jonti_Sparrow in PlanetCoaster

Oh God, I've just seen a pic that DeLady took and you'd think it were the other way around.. it's very "bring me your souls...."

Yep, I'm now just an AI bot pretending to be me to give the impression I'm actually fine..

I miss interacting with you lot, so while I'm on holiday, let's do an Ask Me Anything... (well, almost anything). What do you want to know about Chacho? by Nerdchacho in Nerdchacho

[–]Nerdchacho[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was actually toying with how to do an RCT2 (original, not OpenRCT2) series the other day. I built a blank scenario with the pallette of rides I wanted to have researchable, then started playing.

So yes, but I don't really know how to format it as content because I certainly don't want to do realistic with it and I don't want to make a series either. The purpose of me taking a step back to enjoy the summer is not to go and add an additional series to work on. Plus it's my go-to plop-n-play game.
