I think they didn't include tutorials because the complexity of the game actually requires A LOT of tutorials and they'd rather let gamers provide that for free. Most games, a five minute intro is enough to get you going, but for people who spend their time building, the controls of PlanetCoaster are highly convoluted and even for someone who played RCT, for people who spend their time building, this game has a steep learning curve. For someone who's just plopping down flat rides, it's not as bad.
I know that this is an older video, but here's a tip that I never see mentioned...place your shop buildings close to your queues as a nicely themed shop will add to your queue scenery rating so it's a two for one deal and saves money early on. You can do two different queues near the same scenery as well. Also placing your bins next to instead of on your paths helps with crowd flow...same with benches. Placing benches off of your paths also prevents the peeps from sitting on them backwards.
Thank you THANK YOU! I was so intimidated when I bought this game I had to exit straight away and seek out a tutorial sharpish! Your content is top rate and soooo easy to follow. Subscribed straight away. Love from Leeds x
I got the game on sale and thought it looked interesting (being someone that spent years on RCT3) but found it hard to transfer from RCT to Planet Coaster and got frustrated and gave up, but your tutorials have helped me understand this game and learn how to play and now I am actually enjoying this game, if it wasn’t for your channel this game would probably never been booted up again.
thank you so much!! as someone who never grew up playing any games, many games feel not very beginner friendly to me--i need things SPELLED out because no controls feel intuitive to me. yes, i do need my hand held, and i kind of couldn't believe when i opened this up i literally got no instructions. i felt a little silly, considering this game isn't considered hard, but it seems like i'm not the only one who had issues!
Oh, C Tran, that is me, too! The only computer game I ever liked was Rollar Coaster Tycoon and Zoo Tycoon. When I got this new computer, my son said they were probably too old to sync to this computer, so he bought this for me. But, the tutorials were vague and not easy for an old lady like me. My daughter in law said to look up how to play, and find instructions. This is helping, and hearing that many others are struggling, makes me feel not so dumb. Thanks for sharing.
I've been playing the game on and off for a while and basically just figuring things out for myself so thank you so much for this video!! I already knew how to do most of this but I had no idea you could change the ride sequence and add things, and I had no idea what kind of salary was fair for my staff - $10 over the last training, no wonder my staff hated me! I would only bump it up like $10 at a time haha. On to the next one!
Great tutorial.Ive had the game in my steam library now for over a year as it seems so daunting at first but this was so well explained I'm going to give it another go. Thanks!
have you played much more of this game or kinda fell off? i just got the game and im so fucking lost lol wanna see if others have been put off or if you get used to it pretty quickly
I wish i had the time to put in to learn this game, ive played about 6 hours and just struggle to produce anything complete, i spent about half that on the park entrance which looked pants compared to anything ive seen. i guess thats just getting older. When RC3 was out i was young and had nothing else to do....now i have kids a job and a wife to keep happy....Keep up the good work though, even if i cant build anything watching you build is defiantly entertaining.
I got this game a year ago but my laptop sucked. I just upgraded to a nice 4k gaming laptop and can finally play this game. Thank God u made this video lol I was lost and I've played the hell outta older sim games
One of the best tips I can give as a brand new park designer is to press "x" to place items. It brings up the axes and allows you to move the cam all around without moving the object itself which is a Godsend if you're as anal about symmetry as I am.
Thanks so much, I just bought the game because it was on sale for ~2 dollars. I enjoyed planet zoo and figured how hard could this be. It's a rough start. Thanks for this guide.
Thank you for this and your other videos. :) I've been going through them all and the pacing and explanation you give for everything is really easy to consume and apply. I've found it's so easy to just get suddenly overwhelmed in games like this where you can really do a lot of building customization after watching tutorials or guides but you've formatted everything in a really palatable way. It's given me a lot of ideas of how to manipulate all the bits and pieces for customization as well as the actual monetary and management portion of the game. Thanks for that!
Awesome! I'm glad I could help :) The game really throws you in at the deep end, so I'm glad I'm able to help a few people tread water until they're able to swim off :) ...kinda impressed myself with that analogy! :D
im a big RCT1 and 2 fan, and when i found out RCT1 as a kid, i felt like i discovered gold, was so happy. really want to try planet coaster, but not sure whether i have the time, there is so much details...and not sure whether my PC can handle it, the graphics looks great.
My gosh thank you for making this. I got gifted this game and couldn’t figure it out and I’ve been through like 10 videos that didn’t go in depth like this did
I just got this game from the Humble Bundle thing and had to resort to a tutorial video to get the basics, and by the way, your work so far has been excellent!
When you enter Disney Florida, you can use monorail 🚝 so you can basically copy the whole park etc: tower of terror as a dropper ride with a building around it
Yeah, I bought this game and Planet Zoo. Only played about 5 minutes about 10 times. The first thing you do is try to make a path and then you realize that they haven't even created a path making tool that makes any sense and you think scr*w it and never open the game again lol. Then you come to RUclips and watch a bunch of videos and feel inspired. You open the game again and the cycle repeats itself.
Thank you so much for this! Just downloaded the game as I'm in a bit of a game rut in quarantine. Your video was super helpful and got me excited to play. Thanks lots
Fannie Eaton! 🤣🤣🤣 Erhm my apologies... Great video! This was free last month for PS5 so I'm trying to learn how to play it and I have feeling this lil series will help greatly!
Hey, was looking for a good beginner's guide on Planet Coaster. Well explained, lots of creativity and quality content! Thanks for your hard work, keep it up!
Just bought the game. Great game but for someone new to the series (Roller coaster sims), their tutorials is pretty much non-existent. It just links you to there YT page. Anyways, great guide/tips&tricks!
yeah!! The lack of official tutorials or even documentations led me to this channel :) Really, Jontis (geekism) beginners guides really should be linked from in the game.
Thanks folks, glad you've found them useful... I think the games official tutorials are very useful, but you're right, a 'proper' tutorial level would go a long way!
Poor thing...I imagine she was ridiculed something fierce in little school...I can picture the roll call: Teacher: "Eaton, Fannie?" **scattered snickers and giggles around the classroom**
Thanks for the tutorial....12:48 "....this is about 5 minutes work here, obviously in my own proper game I spend maybe 10-, 15-, 20-hours on a single ride." Did I hear that right? What else do you do that requires 10-20 hours for a single ride?
Thanks You for your teaching of this games I should learn more before I played this games. This game is seen kind of cool and it take time for me to learn this thanks you so much.
Reading the comments here is reassuring. I guess I wasn't the only one overwhelmed. Though, in my case, I basically had an idea for a park I wanted to build straight away, theme, music and everything and I couldn't quite figure out how to do it, so that turned me away. I think I should start with just a more generic park to learn stuff instead of being so adamant about certain themes I don't even know are possible or not (I mean, can you even make your own animatronics for example? No way that for example popular video game characters will be included) and starting with these basics will really help. The game not having a tutorial even in the campaign didn't quite mesh with me and that was at least 4 or 5 years back. Haven't really touched it since, but always have this idea of that I should try again. The game has high potential for me to like it, if I just give it a proper chance. But its easier to just boot up something more familiar than something with a steep learning curve where I can't do it the way I want right away.
Can you go over how to navigate the view/camera around? I have limited PC gaming experience (mostly console) and bought a new PC just to play this game and I am struggling with moving around? When I watch your videos it is so fluid and smooth, but when I do it, it is reaaally janky making scenery placement difficult. Thanks for the videos, I watched about 20 hours of it over the weekend.
Yes!! Take this from an experienced PC player who also find the controls in this game utterly frustrating! Camera seems to have a mind of it's own and will fly off to who knows where, when ever it pleases. Took me ages to figure out the tiny camera-options (on right bottom side of game ("build") screen"was to control the snapping when you build. Also that you have to constantly switch from "normal" camera to "free-camera" when you build is stupid. Why cant it have X,Y,Z controls on keyboard? They sure could learn from feks. Cities:Skyline -> Good controls.
Use mouse wheel a lot to zoom in and out. Press T to toggle 'free view' camera mode (useful for going into tunnels etc). And hold shift to scroll around more quickly.
thanks man! I was trying to get restrooms, food, drink, staff office, and staff right away and ended up having no money to spare to build rides or continue the challenge (medium mode). I watched your video and started an easy challenge world and I'm doing a lot better.
Thanks for this! Could you do a video on basic park layout? Like what's a good path infrastructure to build around? Where stuff is most beneficial? A few questions: 1) with terrain, is there a way to flatten it down to default level? I know undo can, but it only goes so far. If I've made a hill, is there someway to get it level perfectly with the rest without guesstimating with the "lower" tool? 2) when I try to add water after creating a pit, it's only a puddle and it won't add any more. It won't allow me to fill it up. What am I doing wrong?
I'll definately be looking at park layout and terrain in the future. as for your specific points, firstly to level an area you want to use the 'flatten to foundation' button, starting at the height you want. AS for the 'puddle', the water in this game is a little janky, so it could be a few things... hopefully the video will help you :)
3:50 Interesting that my version of Planet Coaster doesn't have that many track rides, mine are mostly go cart tracks. 8:30 Hey, there are no blueprints in scenery or other of the options in my game. I might need to check out the Steam workshop...
No, RollerCoaster Tycoon World wasn't developed by Frontier. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 was though, which I think it what you were thinking of. It was because of how the RCT franchise was going that Frontier's people split off.
It seems, this is a bigger and better version of the old Theme Park World game. Most of the basic stuffs are same. But i think, this gets more complicated. I'll give this a go for sure!
Hi! I just started playing Planet Coaster and I have a lot of questions about it. (1) How do I remove the terrain from under the paths so that I could have a bridge? (2) I placed two different textured paths next to one another and wanted to connect them in a circular shape. One textured path would be the inner circle and the other path would be on the outer part of that circle. How can I do that? Thank you!
important for beginners that might struggle like I did (note: ps4 edition): ride entries are connected to the main path with *queue*, not path. took me ages to figure that out. I was so confused why it was so easy to connect the exits, but not the entries. I played jurassic world evolution first, and that game makes no differentiation between from where to get entry and exit ways.
Great video but 2 things you didn't really explain - both of which I'm struggling with. Firstly when placing my rides, shops etc, camera movement is really 'flat' and not from above which yours did - so how you did that would have been helpful. Secondly, placing paths to an entrance, which is required to open ... yours seemed to fit those automatically (ie the burger shop) so an explanation of how you did that would have been helpful - yes you said there's another video on paths so will have to check that out but certainly camera view help would have been a definite.
Hi Jonti, I'm hoping that two additions that they eventually put into this game are picture takers on rides/photo shops and on coasters or log flumes, track that turns, in other words, the track stops, then turns and takes you backwards, also, loads more stuff for dark rides.
Wayne, Jonti has in one of his wonderful videos (I think the one on triggers but I'm not sure) a kind of pseudo-photo thing. He takes one of the lights, puts it aiming at the track, and uses triggers to make it flash a couple of times as the ride cars go by. Granted, there's no booth or place to BUY the photo, but it does become a very creative simulation of the effect.
I'd love to see photos added to the game, as DL mentions above, I've made a cosmetic work around with triggers, but an actual camera with a store that needs to be placed by the exit of a ride would be a great addition. As for the log flume piece... It's not something I've ever seen in real life, but I know other thempark games have had it, so why not! :D I think we'll see a re-due of the water rides at a later date, Frontier themselves have said that they are currently a work in progress
Geekism Valhalla in Blackpool has it, where it comes to a stop, turns, then you go down a long drop, also Arctic Expedition in Disney Land (I think that's the name) has a similar part, where the track curls up as if it is broken, you then rotate on the tracks and go backwards. I would love to see the photo machine on rides, with a photo shop you can place at the end, and going totally crazy, how about an option to see the pictures yourself and post them on Facebook or their own website, just some food for thought, loving your videos Jonti, see you when your next LIVE.
The ride is "Expedition Everest" in the Asia section of Disney's Animal Kingdom at WDW and yes, you are going like crazy and you head UP and suddenly, there before you, the track has been shredded (presumably by the Yeti that's chasing you) and the entire train goes BACKWARD back down the way you came (but a track switch has switched behind you so you head down a different direction in reverse at high speed, and eventually a second switch move puts you front-forwards again. They also do a much slower version of that in the Norway pavilion at EPCOT which is now re-themed to the movie Frozen. In that one a head-on confrontation with a giant Troll sent you backwards into a swirling North Sea under a giant oil rig, but now it has been changed to "Frozen" scenes and characters.
Honestly, this game needed a tutorial section to teach you how to play, before sending you off to do your own parks.
The career is basically a tutorial
There is tutorial videos
Or do sandbox because you can learn with no consequences
I think they didn't include tutorials because the complexity of the game actually requires A LOT of tutorials and they'd rather let gamers provide that for free. Most games, a five minute intro is enough to get you going, but for people who spend their time building, the controls of PlanetCoaster are highly convoluted and even for someone who played RCT, for people who spend their time building, this game has a steep learning curve. For someone who's just plopping down flat rides, it's not as bad.
thank you, this game isn't beginner friendly at all
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. What tutorial videos they do have still leave the game overwhelming o_o;
Yeah, spent a few minutes getting overwhelmed before booting up RCT2 and going back to simpler times.
it is not!
You haven’t played stellaris without the totourial.
My jaw hit the floor when I saw the tutorial option was to watch RUclips videos. What the hell! Good game though.
Ah, yes, the three game modes; Korea, Sandbox, and Challenge.
Puffed Rice liked this comment soon as I heard it lol
Lol u mean career
Korea? Career!
BoranSahindalHD r/wooosh
Puffed Rice it’s funny because it almost functions exactly like a Korean theme park
I know that this is an older video, but here's a tip that I never see mentioned...place your shop buildings close to your queues as a nicely themed shop will add to your queue scenery rating so it's a two for one deal and saves money early on. You can do two different queues near the same scenery as well.
Also placing your bins next to instead of on your paths helps with crowd flow...same with benches. Placing benches off of your paths also prevents the peeps from sitting on them backwards.
You just saved my life
There's always treasure in the comments! Thank you so much for these bonus tips!!!
That's good to know
Quite odd for me to see your comment saying this is an old video and then realising that the vid is 6 years old
Take prestige of ride n divide by 35 and drop price of ride from what you total for max profits
I just got the game but got lost and overwhelmed. ty for great tutorial content
MAPLER! my brother from another mother. a nodestone cant wait to see which node i get
?
Assassin 2D I agree
Great beginner's video. It's quite unusual to find a game that doesn't have a tutorial built in so this was very helpful to watch, thank you 🙂
Very strange especially for something that is so complex lol I just got it on sale and dk what the heck I'm doing
Thank you THANK YOU! I was so intimidated when I bought this game I had to exit straight away and seek out a tutorial sharpish! Your content is top rate and soooo easy to follow. Subscribed straight away. Love from Leeds x
I just finished a semester in quarantine and figured what better way to spend it than learning Planet Coaster finally!
I got the game on sale and thought it looked interesting (being someone that spent years on RCT3) but found it hard to transfer from RCT to Planet Coaster and got frustrated and gave up, but your tutorials have helped me understand this game and learn how to play and now I am actually enjoying this game, if it wasn’t for your channel this game would probably never been booted up again.
thank you so much!! as someone who never grew up playing any games, many games feel not very beginner friendly to me--i need things SPELLED out because no controls feel intuitive to me. yes, i do need my hand held, and i kind of couldn't believe when i opened this up i literally got no instructions. i felt a little silly, considering this game isn't considered hard, but it seems like i'm not the only one who had issues!
Oh, C Tran, that is me, too! The only computer game I ever liked was Rollar Coaster Tycoon and Zoo Tycoon.

The camera controls are what is freaking killing me. Constantly having to toggle between the two modes and neither of them work how I'd like.
Use left and right mouse button at the same time to move the camera more easily.
I'll be covering camera controls in more depth next episode :)
I changed the focus to be on the mouse and it helped immensely. I know this comment is old but...for other people
@@Jospec5Star I know this comment is old too but I’m playing with both controller and mouse because of the camera issue
bought the game on Steam 60% off. Thanks for the tutorial because I suck XD. I subscribed, love your tutorials
I've been playing the game on and off for a while and basically just figuring things out for myself so thank you so much for this video!! I already knew how to do most of this but I had no idea you could change the ride sequence and add things, and I had no idea what kind of salary was fair for my staff - $10 over the last training, no wonder my staff hated me! I would only bump it up like $10 at a time haha. On to the next one!
Great tutorial.Ive had the game in my steam library now for over a year as it seems so daunting at first but this was so well explained I'm going to give it another go. Thanks!
have you played much more of this game or kinda fell off? i just got the game and im so fucking lost lol wanna see if others have been put off or if you get used to it pretty quickly
I wish i had the time to put in to learn this game, ive played about 6 hours and just struggle to produce anything complete, i spent about half that on the park entrance which looked pants compared to anything ive seen. i guess thats just getting older. When RC3 was out i was young and had nothing else to do....now i have kids a job and a wife to keep happy....Keep up the good work though, even if i cant build anything watching you build is defiantly entertaining.
"Fannie Eaton" must be a Carry On character.
LOL, I didn't really realise how much of an innuendo it was until now XD
I got this game a year ago but my laptop sucked. I just upgraded to a nice 4k gaming laptop and can finally play this game. Thank God u made this video lol I was lost and I've played the hell outta older sim games
One of the best tips I can give as a brand new park designer is to press "x" to place items. It brings up the axes and allows you to move the cam all around without moving the object itself which is a Godsend if you're as anal about symmetry as I am.
OUTSTANDING tutorial! Very helpful. Clear and concise. Playlist saved and subbed!
Perfect beginner tutorial. You demonstrated everything in the order it should be learned.
Thanx, Cyn
Thanks Cyn :)
Thanks so much, I just bought the game because it was on sale for ~2 dollars. I enjoyed planet zoo and figured how hard could this be. It's a rough start. Thanks for this guide.
Same, bought it first day of that sale and now today I finally have some time to try and get started!
Thank you for this and your other videos. :) I've been going through them all and the pacing and explanation you give for everything is really easy to consume and apply. I've found it's so easy to just get suddenly overwhelmed in games like this where you can really do a lot of building customization after watching tutorials or guides but you've formatted everything in a really palatable way. It's given me a lot of ideas of how to manipulate all the bits and pieces for customization as well as the actual monetary and management portion of the game. Thanks for that!
Awesome! I'm glad I could help :) The game really throws you in at the deep end, so I'm glad I'm able to help a few people tread water until they're able to swim off :)
...kinda impressed myself with that analogy! :D
Your channel is amazing! I’m excited to see you hit 100,000. I was here when you had 300 so you have really improved
im a big RCT1 and 2 fan, and when i found out RCT1 as a kid, i felt like i discovered gold, was so happy. really want to try planet coaster, but not sure whether i have the time, there is so much details...and not sure whether my PC can handle it, the graphics looks great.
My gosh thank you for making this. I got gifted this game and couldn’t figure it out and I’ve been through like 10 videos that didn’t go in depth like this did
Your like 6 years late but ok
Omg Thanks so much !! Your Vids are so Fricking Underrated
I just got this game from the Humble Bundle thing and had to resort to a tutorial video to get the basics, and by the way, your work so far has been excellent!
Thanks. I bought this game a year ago on steam on sale but never played it due to i heard it's a hard learning curve. Now i am willing to learn ☺
Thanks a lot this as help a lot i bought the game and never played until i started watching your video it was just to confusing for me
Nicely done!
I play for a week now and I learned a lot with this vid alone, so a sub was a 'no brainer'.
Cheers dude!
Congratulations on 100K! And thank you for this, i was confused on what challenge mode was 🍩
When you enter Disney Florida, you can use monorail 🚝 so you can basically copy the whole park etc: tower of terror as a dropper ride with a building around it
You have just 17K subscribers ?
You need more ! :)
+1 subscriber
I'm sorry the worker was called "fannie eaton" 😂😂😂 just me?
You're a really good presenter and this is even great to watch this without playing just yet :) thanks!
1:29 that pirate hits that dab so hard tho...
Yeah, I bought this game and Planet Zoo. Only played about 5 minutes about 10 times. The first thing you do is try to make a path and then you realize that they haven't even created a path making tool that makes any sense and you think scr*w it and never open the game again lol.

Great stuff man! your channel is a breath of fresh air for me.. Keep up the great work! :)
Thank you so much for this! Just downloaded the game as I'm in a bit of a game rut in quarantine. Your video was super helpful and got me excited to play. Thanks lots
Thank you! I just got this today! I am so excited to try it!
Fannie Eaton! 🤣🤣🤣

I’m so exited to get this game! This vid was really helpful! 😊
Hey, was looking for a good beginner's guide on Planet Coaster. Well explained, lots of creativity and quality content! Thanks for your hard work, keep it up!
Thanks for watching, hope it helped!
Thank you, I found this very thorough and informative!

Poor thing...I imagine she was ridiculed something fierce in little school...I can picture the roll call:

**scattered snickers and giggles around the classroom**
Thank you so much, this game is ridiculously hard for beginners. WTF
Thanks for the tutorial....12:48 "....this is about 5 minutes work here, obviously in my own proper game I spend maybe 10-, 15-, 20-hours on a single ride." Did I hear that right? What else do you do that requires 10-20 hours for a single ride?
themeing, decoration ,smoothing, and queues etc. this game can be very time consuming 😂
I got planet coaster for Christmas and I was having a hard time so thanks for this
You're very welcome! Hope you're enjoying the game :)
This was exactly what I needed. Subscribed.
Gotta love that the first staff member in the Chief Beef was called Fannie Eaton.
Thank you so much this it got me started in this game well done great work
I’m waiting for console version (coming in summer 2020) and this helped a lot, thank you
Thanks You for your teaching of this games
I should learn more before I played this games.
This game is seen kind of cool and it take time for me to learn this thanks you so much.
Fannie Eaton. Yes she is happy.
I loved everything about this video, I have the game a while now but this vid learned me some tips!
Thanks!
Awesome! Glad you found it useful :)
Thank you soooooo much for this! Really helped as I have never played a sim game before. Cheers mate!
This little bit is better then my hole park..

Really glad I found your channel. Very helpful, good work!!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching :)
Thank you very much for this video! I just recently got planet coaster and it seems complicated.
It has a steep learning curve, but stick it out and you will get hours of enjoyment!
This was extremely helpful, will be watching the other vids, thanks!
Thank you. Just bought an it's intimidating
my park failed 5 minutes after starting out. tips and tricks for challenge?
Very lovely video sir! Thank you this made me understand alot of things I did not figure out my self.
+Don'tTakeMyGiggles You're very welcome :)
i bought the game yesterday thank you for your very helpful videos

I really like your tutorials, but am really struggling with cameras! I can't seem to do what you are able to!
A camera tutorial would be extremely helpful!! I just can't get on with it at all. Skylines is so much more intuitive.
Use mouse wheel a lot to zoom in and out. Press T to toggle 'free view' camera mode (useful for going into tunnels etc). And hold shift to scroll around more quickly.
I'm getting this game when it comes out on console and I can't wait!
This helped me out a lot thank you
This helped so much
Great video, thank you I needed this lol
thanks man! I was trying to get restrooms, food, drink, staff office, and staff right away and ended up having no money to spare to build rides or continue the challenge (medium mode). I watched your video and started an easy challenge world and I'm doing a lot better.
congrats on 100k subs!
Thanks for this!
Could you do a video on basic park layout? Like what's a good path infrastructure to build around? Where stuff is most beneficial?
A few questions:
1) with terrain, is there a way to flatten it down to default level? I know undo can, but it only goes so far. If I've made a hill, is there someway to get it level perfectly with the rest without guesstimating with the "lower" tool?
2) when I try to add water after creating a pit, it's only a puddle and it won't add any more. It won't allow me to fill it up. What am I doing wrong?
I'll definately be looking at park layout and terrain in the future.

3:50 Interesting that my version of Planet Coaster doesn't have that many track rides, mine are mostly go cart tracks.
8:30 Hey, there are no blueprints in scenery or other of the options in my game. I might need to check out the Steam workshop...
This game is really difficult. I honestly thought it was just gonna be like rollercoaster Tycoon, but there is so much micro-management.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought this. I've been playing Rollercoaster Tycoon since I was a kid, and I'm struggling with this game as an adult.
@@lisarobinson4443 It’s too much. I was thinking Cities Skylines or Crusader Kings. Far too much!
Thank you very much!
Helped me a lot :)
I love the ads for Roller Coaster Tycoon world before the video lol. Talk about desperate at this point...
lol Really? I don't get to choose the adds... I'm suprised Atari are still spending money on that dead horse though!
No, RollerCoaster Tycoon World wasn't developed by Frontier. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 was though, which I think it what you were thinking of. It was because of how the RCT franchise was going that Frontier's people split off.
@@yummyapplestroodle what? No it didnt, where did you here that?
Fannie.... Eaton! Well, there that is!
2020 and video is still helpful. thanks
It seems, this is a bigger and better version of the old Theme Park World game. Most of the basic stuffs are same. But i think, this gets more complicated. I'll give this a go for sure!
I just got planet coaster or Christmas so thank you for making this video
Hi! I just started playing Planet Coaster and I have a lot of questions about it. (1) How do I remove the terrain from under the paths so that I could have a bridge? (2) I placed two different textured paths next to one another and wanted to connect them in a circular shape. One textured path would be the inner circle and the other path would be on the outer part of that circle. How can I do that?
Thank you!
I have a blast playing this game lol.
I need a real tutorial in the game :(
important for beginners that might struggle like I did (note: ps4 edition):
ride entries are connected to the main path with *queue*, not path. took me ages to figure that out. I was so confused why it was so easy to connect the exits, but not the entries. I played jurassic world evolution first, and that game makes no differentiation between from where to get entry and exit ways.
I too had that problem. Nice to see I'm not the only one.
nice
Thank you so much!!
Long story short I got in a little bit of an alton towers hyperfixation and want to make a chaotic digital theme park 😳
This really help!! Thanksss 😍😍😍
This helps soo much thx 🙏
Nice video for the new guys and gals out there!
I hope so! :)
Hello There, great guide, really helpful stuff. Cheers Peter :)
we all just gonna ignore Fannie Eaton? lol
Great video but 2 things you didn't really explain - both of which I'm struggling with. Firstly when placing my rides, shops etc, camera movement is really 'flat' and not from above which yours did - so how you did that would have been helpful. Secondly, placing paths to an entrance, which is required to open ... yours seemed to fit those automatically (ie the burger shop) so an explanation of how you did that would have been helpful - yes you said there's another video on paths so will have to check that out but certainly camera view help would have been a definite.
Thanks for the video, it really helped!
omg, this helped so much! thanks!
Does this game work well on a good laptop?
Brilliant thanks
Hi Jonti, I'm hoping that two additions that they eventually put into this game are picture takers on rides/photo shops and on coasters or log flumes, track that turns, in other words, the track stops, then turns and takes you backwards, also, loads more stuff for dark rides.
Wayne, Jonti has in one of his wonderful videos (I think the one on triggers but I'm not sure) a kind of pseudo-photo thing. He takes one of the lights, puts it aiming at the track, and uses triggers to make it flash a couple of times as the ride cars go by. Granted, there's no booth or place to BUY the photo, but it does become a very creative simulation of the effect.
Yes! Seeing especially teens have a strong wish to get "selfies" taken on rides. Would be a fun addition to the game :)
I'd love to see photos added to the game, as DL mentions above, I've made a cosmetic work around with triggers, but an actual camera with a store that needs to be placed by the exit of a ride would be a great addition.
As for the log flume piece... It's not something I've ever seen in real life, but I know other thempark games have had it, so why not! :D I think we'll see a re-due of the water rides at a later date, Frontier themselves have said that they are currently a work in progress
Geekism Valhalla in Blackpool has it, where it comes to a stop, turns, then you go down a long drop, also Arctic Expedition in Disney Land (I think that's the name) has a similar part, where the track curls up as if it is broken, you then rotate on the tracks and go backwards. I would love to see the photo machine on rides, with a photo shop you can place at the end, and going totally crazy, how about an option to see the pictures yourself and post them on Facebook or their own website, just some food for thought, loving your videos Jonti, see you when your next LIVE.
The ride is "Expedition Everest" in the Asia section of Disney's Animal Kingdom at WDW and yes, you are going like crazy and you head UP and suddenly, there before you, the track has been shredded (presumably by the Yeti that's chasing you) and the entire train goes BACKWARD back down the way you came (but a track switch has switched behind you so you head down a different direction in reverse at high speed, and eventually a second switch move puts you front-forwards again. They also do a much slower version of that in the Norway pavilion at EPCOT which is now re-themed to the movie Frozen. In that one a head-on confrontation with a giant Troll sent you backwards into a swirling North Sea under a giant oil rig, but now it has been changed to "Frozen" scenes and characters.
My question is why do we have guest-like avatars if they don't ever show up on anything but the planet menu?
True lol
