Backstage area

JulienPC · Dec 21, 2015

I think it could be really nice and good for realism to be able to place backstage and administrative buildings. The acces to This area would be only allowed to employees and could have some useful buildings like staff changing room, floats hangar, staff restaurant, security HQ... what do you think about it ?

It's a good idea.
I personally like it

Someone talked about a Breakroom building ( https://forums.planetcoaster.com/showthread.php/279-Breakroom ) but it is possible to have more, indeed.

This could add a bit of realism and give other "gameplay elements" for the missions/scenarios

+1 They must have a office building in the game to handle all the money and how bigger your park is how bigger the office.

+2 [up] I love this idea! I like backstage administrative/support buildings/facilities. I would build them from scenery if no functioning buildings are to be available [happy]

I would love to see all of this for sure, would be cool to see more detail on the back end of things.

Interesting idea. Adds realism... +1

Good idea! it would be a good way to train your employees when they are not motivated: Improving buildings, or investing more money in their restaurants... [yesnod]

Yes to backstage area. It can have a lot of different types of uses here.

I'm very interested in a twist on the management. Prison Architect have sort of an interesting way for this, where you need to hire certain people in different areas of expertise in order to have access to certain staff or rooms, research etc.

I love this idea!

+1 Yes, a great idea! [happy]

Nice idea , I wish (hope) on top of that a hotel ore little houses on the outside of the park.
May by something for an expansion [big grin]

This is somewhat the same idea as mine in this thread https://forums.planetcoaster.com/showthread.php/811-Customizable-Entrance-(not-cosmetic)

But i incorporated that in the main entrance. If interested Frontier can make a good combination of this.

A zoning tool like in Cities Skylines could work great with this.

danplayer01 · Jan 17, 2016

I really want a back area. This sounds great.

Kaj Taotsu · Jan 18, 2016

The concept would be really cool to impliment into the game! Even if the buildings werent actually 'accessible' to the staff, but still gave some kind of overall stats perk, like a morale boost, I could see it being feasible for players to want to create these kinds of buildings so they could keep staff happy and working hard at their jobs.

I remember doing that all the way back to RCT1. Ride "buildings" are the best part. I remember using things on the roof that looked like vents or a/c units. Adding exit stairs and employee only signs was the things I loved to do.

KuyaJeff · Feb 6, 2016

I think this would be a great idea. I think there's a possibility to take something that Parkitect seems to have done with their current alpha phase; paths that only staff can use. I wasn't really a fan of how in RCT you had to put up an awkward sign that rarely ever fit any of the themes just to restrict where guests were supposed to walk. I would be great for designating "construction" areas as well.

danplayer01 · Feb 6, 2016

I love this idea. It would be great if the staff rode on the transport rides too. And if they had their own gold cart things to ride on.
