Dunno if it was this thread or the Android gaming one where someone mentioned the lack of sloped tracks for karts, but they added/fixed that in the latest update for RCT Classic

quote:

Version 1.0.3.1612301 includes fixes for:
- Building sloped tracks/curves hill in car rides, karts and coasters
- Scenario completions not being triggered correctly
- Guests walking too fast
- Frozen people in queues

Oddball question. I play on lower graphics settings and there's a lot of texture flickering with overlapping objects. Is there a setting that I can increase that will eliminate the flickering or do I gotta just place everything correctly? Thanks!

Yeah, mostly it's just going to be placing things perfectly, but due to how the game builds on the grid and is designed to let pieces clip into each other so you can make whatever you want you're going to always have some z-fighting.

How high up/down can you go? I was thinking about making a park made up of floating islands around a central tower if I ever got this game.

I don't have numbers at the moment, but that seems close to the limit, because I couldn't place down the Radius (only slightly taller) on that island.

I've seen the numbers +/- 128m thrown around for terrain modifications. Not sure if that is the exact value but it seems close enough from my experience. I have no idea how that ties into ride placement though.

I love Silvarret's stuff, but I think he rushed this one cause it's not very detailed compared to his usual stuff. Still the idea is great, I guess he had support from the devs to do this.

TWO whole rides in only 10 hours!? You're working at a blistering pace, my park has at least 15 hours of work put into it, and I've only managed to put down a single ride. This game is dangerous.

I'm working through Career mode, and I brute-forced Good Gully Miss Molly with a dive coaster that comes in at 5.12 excitement (Goal is over 5), 5.3 nausea (Goal is under 6)... and 10.4 fear (Not part of the goal). The main culprit for fear is a pretzel loop at 70 mph that dips close enough to the bottom of the gully that the car made a splash in the water.

I also made my first serious stab at mood lighting:


e: Just removing the pretzel loop and autocompleting gave me .5 more excitement and brought fear down to 7 so people will actually ride it.

I started up a new park. Got a train station and a cool floorless. I plan to load the park up with coasters.

Basic entrance and the front side of the train station, with a nice waiting area inside with shops.



Back of the train station.



And the first coaster of the park. A nice floorless coaster with 6 inversions with 3 trains running.

I'm getting better. That coaster has all three stats in the green, although it sure doesn't seem that way watching the little gondolas flip around.

The main problem I run into is my short attention span: By the time I get 3/4ths of the way finished with something, I'm tired of building it. Hence why the station has no roof. I focused on the castle, forced myself to finish the walls and roof, and just said gently caress it to the rest of the station.

And then I loving deleted the whole thing trying to delete paths. The autosave doesn't have the good version. gently caress.

Anyone else noticing with RTC (on iOS at least) there seems to be a bug where speeding up time causes vandalism no matter how many security guards you have?

Is it triggered by time? Regardless of the cause I've noticed it too. On the desktop version of the game, I had to try pretty hard to create vandalism. But vandalism in iOS is overboard. For what it's worth, it seems like patrol routes for security guards help mitigate the problem. Free roaming guards tend to end up in some quiet corner of your park.

On one scenario I had 10 guards all on tight patrols (not many squares to cover on each patrol) and yet whenever I used the speed up time option I would get a message about vandalism and notice damage. That's what made me think it's bugged.

Vandalism in 1 only happened if you had a bad park rating, which outside scenarios didn't really happen. I only ever saw it in Diamond Heights.

Of course I still clustered benches so I only needed a few guards.

It's a great game and a worthy successor to the RCT franchise, just get it. If you need more convincing, pull up ride videos and reviews on YouTube until you're set.

If you liked making pretty buildings, go nuts. If you liked actually doing the scenarios, don't do what I did and waste your money, the game will have precisely gently caress all for you.

Watch YouTube videos and browse the workshop. Just be careful doing the latter and with the former do NOT watch Silverret's videos. It will likely make you give the game up before even starting it.

Wouldn't you know it, I did so, and Planet Coaster is now in my steam shop.

This might not be in my first attempt at a park.

I know not to try and take inspiration from Silverret's vids. But if I'mma be honest? Asteroids and floating islands sound pretty cool to add.

RCT1 was all scenarios. It didn't even have a level editor.

That said I'm going through all the scenarios and honestly having fun, though I'm stuck on Good Gully Miss Molly right now (how do I jump-start a profitable park from nothing with only $5k and limited land?). They have their quirks and interesting bits to them.
