Planet Coaster General - /pcg/

Blueprint coasters that have decor attached do not reflect that in the blueprint price. Learned that the hard way.

just a heads up, don't pause the game while building stuff
you actually make decent money off of a couple rides in this one, unlike in RCT2 where you have to build a strip mall in order to get anywhere

Is it good?
Is there enough content?

Any toaster users able to tell me what I could expect? I heard 8 GB ram isnt enough

Thinking of making a MGS-themed park with each coaster/section resembling one of the games. Thoughts?

Thats actually a pretty low amount of players considering its launch day, user.

it's not really though
the game has been out for quite some time, all the "hardcore" fans have had it since alpha

I havent bought the game yet, just been watching other people play because im lazy. I think this applies to a lot of people

Enjoy your malware.

>being THIS asshurt about not being able to afford a $40 game

Enjoy your malware.

I'm enjoying your bitterness

Enjoy your malware.

I am, actually, it's a lot of fun
the new building system is amazing
there's no need to be so salty, a lot of people can't afford $40

Just fyi, it's not Planet Coaster but we've had a Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 and 2 general up on /vr/ for a few years now that always has people in it if you like the classics. Assuming this general manages to stick around, I'll definitely be posting all the shit I make in here

Mine Trains are best coaster

...

holy fuck, autocomplete actually works
also heatmaps are amazingly useful

Is it worth 40 bucks?
Is there a story mode or something or sandbox only?

there's a campaign mode with a bunch of scenarios and challenges
definitely worth the money if you like RCT

I really dig the music in this game. RCT3 also had some cool soundtracks.

Just got back from their launch event tonight which was super fun and had some amazing themed food and all this shit.

Have a couple of my best things

Saw your rapids yesterday, totally dig it. Now I have to make my own themed rapids.

comfy

the best part of this game is the coaster editor, no more scrapping half of your ride because the train just barely doesn't make it past that one loop and the editor isn't flexible enough to adjust it so you have to redo 90% of the track

It's legit my favourite ride now. I'm much more of a "build cool looking shit" guy and rapids let me do that in a confined area in a way coasters can't. Plus they just look so god damn good in motion

I like how the ride music is localized to the coaster car now instead of the station
makes more sense and prevents music pollution from ruining the thematics of the ride

aww, the John D. Rockefeller code doesn't work

Come one guys... post your park.
Let us see what you've done.

... work in progress ...

I'm still re-learning everything, it's been a long time since I played RCT3

>Frontier is kicked to the curb after RCT3
>they decide to make their own theme park franchise instead, garnering support and being close to the community's responses/suggestions
>meanwhile Atari is shitting itself senselessly over the development of RCTW and went through like three or four developers to make it possible

Really makes your neurons fire up.

>that feel when you can only afford to make a really shitty log flume

Should've been $30

>but people flock to it anyways for some reason

Can someone buy me this game pls

>see complaints about queue time for ride
>add priority pass queue
>check guests' thoughts later on
>"Priority passes are for suckers!"
>mfw

Sent ;)

I swear this game makes me autistic or something
I'm getting that weird feeling where words and sounds seem different somehow

>try career mode
>build a wondeful entrance
>almost bankrupt myself doing it
>1 merry go orund
>park is literally 1 dollar entry fee
>"IM NOT GOING TO THAT OVERPRICED PARK"
>mfw

Haven't taken any screenshots from the full game yet but here was the first coaster I made in the pre release

That's why I put minimum effort into career mode in terms of scenery and actually nice looking rides. Too many variables to work with, though I guess it makes me a pleb.

lucky fucker

ze railgunner is really sexy... the river run looks comfy af bruh.

I love how enthusiastic all your staff members are

How is the sim aspect to the game in terms of park management and making loads a money?

I don't want to buy something that's just about making pretty rollercoaster rides.

there's some pretty deep management involved, some economics too (not that much, you can tweak the price of rides and if it's too high people won't go on it but if it's too low you won't make a profit)
overall it's a lot like RCT/2 from a money standpoint

How do you get it to go back to placing one shop and thats it. I must have hit something and now it lefts me do linked shops or something with the grids.

why are my janitors so miserable

because they went through life only to end up cleaning up your shit park

there should be an option to execute guests that you catch littering

It's literally Rollercoaster Sandbox: The Game. I'm not even sure if theres any failure conditions. Rides break down and are then repaired a couple of seconds later. Staff can be trained for some reason, but they do their jobs perfectly at rank 1. I managed to get a highly-rated and profitable park by placing a couple of flat rides, facilities and trash cans.

A bummer, because the game is excellent aside from the lack of challenge and objectives.

Oh boy, I just bought it. Considering a refund already.

Keep an eye on the 2 hour refund limit and pick it up during a sale when they've added more features.

also remember this is the company that made E:D, they're going to add a shitload of free stuff later

Fuck me underground camera is bugged as hell.

How do you do pathing indoors? Just draw the paths under the flooring?

try pressing T

will be buying this game tomorrow when I go pick up pokemon sun

Is there spooky themed stuff?

Will they add it if there isn't?

10/10 would ride the railgunner

at 1:28 on your ridge river run looks like we could have another dreamworld. In all seriousness good job

>tfw no Mr. Bones
wtf guys

im sure somebody working on it

So, is it good?
It was on my to-buy list but seeing the "oh shit our game is crap lets slap drm on it then bail with the money two days later" tag on steam is a massive red flag for me.

>how much game is there outside drawing rides?
>park size?
>transport rides?

40$ is not much but the drm is a huge nope

damn seriously considering biting the bait but i alredy have one 60$ buyers remorse for this month.

seems like if the game was $20 id be willing to get it but not with current content and drm

ikr, im feeling a very strong paid shill vibe all over the internet and there are no good games with this drm.

except mgs but sony owns the drm too so it doesnt count

>still cant decide
>check steam discussion
>look up posts of only dev/mod whatever
>topic closed topic closed topic closed
yeah nope, im out. far too many red flags

If you're on the fence about buying the game but have less than a brand new top of the range PC heed my warning:
Once you have more than a basic park set up the FPS tanks to like 20-30 fps, it's painful.

I doubth i would have problems with that. Not running games on ultra-npp quality, just disable ssao and it will probably be fine.

Can you get new objects from the workshop or its just blueprints?

Look up "American Title Loans" on facebook and leave them a bad review on all the locations that pop up!
The owner is a pedophile!

$100 viapaypal to whoever leaves the last negative review!

I moved a coaster and this happened, cant remove it.

Well fuck, i hope its not shit.

How do you use custom buildings? You cant align them to the path grids? What is this 2015?

fuck why is this game expensive? can my toaster handle it? fx 8320 | r7 260x

this game runs like shit it maxes out my GPU even on low settings what the fuck

Tried it out cause I never really played these kinds of games as a kid.

Not really my thing so gonna refund.

Might give it another shot since I only played for like an hour

Hopefully once DRM is out of the way more people will play.

Reee, was there a patch I was unaware of that messed up something? Yesterday I could play for hours just fine, now I can't play for a few minutes without CPU hitting 80C. And it only happens in Planet Coaster.

Reeeeeeeeeeeee

I bet we would have had quite a few good threads on /v/ without it.

I'm sure the ability for pirates to play actually helped certain games like Besiege reach flavor of the month status here.

>buy game
>works fine
>suddenly le 20 fps meme
>shift+tab
>130 minutes - current session
fucking jews

Well I've fucked this up kek

I have only played 135 minutes, half of it went on trying to figure out custom buildings (ended up wasting all of my budget on premade ones)

Where can i find garbage bins? I've been looking through every tab but i can't find it.

>technopirates playing electro music
>doesnt do shit for excitement
Well maybe you cunts should go to a different park

HAVE YOU TRIED LOOKING IN THE SCENERY TAB AT ALL?

when i try to start a park or load one it just goes to black and crashes
any help?

Is there a money cheat?

Yes, sandbox

Has anyone been able to get custom music working? It sees my music but doesnt seem to play it.

How are so many people playing the game on steam right now, but noone cares to discuss it?
