Please give employees/entertainers new color options

[breezerHOG1]

In RCT we could change the colors of staff uniforms, but not in PC. Maybe there could also be different face types for employees?

I also wish entertainers had color or outfit choices. The Spooky DLC looks better than the previous ones, but I'm bored of the white King Coaster mascot, with his red stripe he looks like a baseball [tongue] If King Ghoster was recolorable he could be used in other ways like maybe in a Pacman themed park!!

I was hoping for a spooky entertainer that was more like the pirate, something a little less silly and more spooky like a vampire or mummy would have been cool. I really dislike Licensed construction kits, but the one thing that would be awesome is to have licensed characters as entertainers!!! I would buy the Licensed kits if they included Doc Brown or Munsters entertainers... or how about a Looney Tunes DLC? [yesnod]

I agree and my only complaint about the Spooky pack. King Ghoster is just silly. I was hoping for a dancing skeleton "Rattles" or "Hex" the cursing witch (not literally cursing Planco guests out), but something on the lines of "spooky". We received King Festive in the Holiday pack. My park will start looking like a day when Disney got confused and four Mickeys roaming the same area. I mean, I know we can give them designated areas, but still. I never use King Coaster for anything because my parks have a theme which he doesn't relate with. Of all the things incredible with the new DLC he just doesn't seem to fit.

While a new and unique character would be great...come on guys...the re-skins of KC are because he is the icon mascot of the game. Just like the mouse that has 5000 different costumes that he wheres around the parks and at different times of the year. How do you not get that?

 

[breezerHOG1]

I went to disney a few times as a kid, which was quite a long time ago. From what I remember (it may have changed) theres only one place to see mickey at the magic kingdom, and he doesnt just walk around like the other characters, he has a certain building hes at unless there is a parade. Maybe other parks are different, but they also have many other characters to see also, and Im pretty sure they wouldnt want little kids seeing 2 different mickeys in the same day. Albeit, I don't mind having the same entertainer repeating in my parks that I build, I just thought some color variations would be nice to help match specific themes [happy]

he is the icon mascot of the game

yes but we have 1 golden king coaster, a plain white with red stripe king coaster, another white and red holiday king coaster, and now an all white ghost. IMO the other mascots are more fun, but at least give us some more color options

 

[wowman]

they have different costumes in the parades, the shows, and even in the meet and greets, especially during the different holidays. Yes Mickey is in one place, for meet and greets, but that more about crowd control than anything else. The idea is that you would only have 'one' KC in the park and you would pick/change it depending on the season etc. You wouldn't have a ghost and a Santa costume in the park at the same time?

 

[2MileDollywood]

Okay, bad example, you guys took that a bit too serious. And I get that, Planet Coaster is the park's iconic figure. So why didn't they just do Miss Ellie as King Gunslinger, or gave King Coaster a queen like Queen Planet? I know for a fact that if two of the same type of characters at Disney accidently wonder in the same area that performer is fired. My cousin worked at Disney World years ago, and her friend was an entertainer who got fired for going on break in costume.

Why so serious?

 

[breezerHOG1]

I know people have requested features like this, but I doubt many people actually do that in the game. If somebody builds a winter theme they use the holiday entertainer, if they build a pirate theme they use the pirate entertainer. Seasons are not really a thing in this game.

You wouldn't have a ghost and a Santa costume in the park at the same time?

So you're against creativity? Why cant a park have 2 separately themed areas?? All Im asking for is some color options, not sure why your playing devils advocate over such a simple request. If you dislike the idea thats fine. Many other people have requested color options for employees, just like RCT had it

 

[Minnion]

I'm all for more customization options, even something as insignificant as renaming the burgers at Cheef Beef to match whatever theme you have going would be cool...

 

[wowman]

Not sating anything is wrong with this...just trying to explain that it can be flexible depending on needs and still reflect what could happen in the real world. In your last example: you can have two different themed areas and use the roster to define where character in what costume is restricted to walk. This way you will not have a Santa KC bumping into a Ghost KC. Easy to manage in the game.

I know how to setup a roster... you said "You wouldnt do that in the same park" you said you change entertainers based on season, not anything about a roster... sigh [sad]



Sure having the option to change costumes would be nice too

 

[wowman]

thats just another way to work it depending on the needs....say if you only want 1 KC in the park...then you can change his costume choice as needed.

Ah, I think I get what you're saying... You're suggesting that we be able to swap between the different variations of King Coaster skins that we have available in whichever version of the game we're playing.... That way as a customization option we can have the same employee all the time, but with the option to change the costume skin that is being applied... (That way instead of replacing Bob with a differant guy we can just click on him, tell him to go change and now have King Coaster Bob change into King Ghoster Bob, or Festive King Coaster Bob... Point is it would still be Bob under the ball.)

Basically it would allow us to keep our fully trained entertainer while being able to switch which variant of King Coaster he's dressed as instead of having to fire him and retrain a replacement every time we want to change the entertainers theme.... Perhaps with a small fee for unlocking alternate costumes for existing entertainers?(I mean in game not IRL...) Oooh maybe a changing room facility that you can stock with different costumes for your entertainers that you can swap anytime you want by sending your entertainer there to change...

I'm pretty sure you could do that in past RCT games, right?? Anyway, thats more of a UI or QoL issue.

As always great ideas. Shouldn't be that hard to add color wheel options for many things such as these or different trains etc.

 

[KickAir8p]

Color-option staff uniforms -- yep, in RCT3P I used to theme all the staff by area, including the shop vendors. Missing that in Planet Coaster. Especially important for the entertainers -- I've color-themed a park to Princess A's dress, but I'd've rather done it the other way 'round. And why does she have to be a white blond? Five color options (skin, hair, three for the dress) would do it.

I'd like a feline entertainer with color patterns for various species, freely colorable so we can do alien cat-creaturs and black cats for spooky theming. We had that in RCT3P too.

 

[DWWilkin]

This would be an update feature (that should be free, not DLC) that would add tremendously to the customization and differentiation to the game. Right now, over the countless renditions we see of so many parks, there are many elements that look the same in everyone's park. And that stretch, to change not only from park to park, but to give the sense of nationality that would make the game seem much more global, and less local, will make the PC franchise much stronger.

I like this request.

I'd love to see new costumes for King Coaster [yesnod]

 

[breezerHOG1]

King Ghoster would look so sick in other colors!!!

 

[breezerHOG1]

maybe someday?
