Planet Coaster Day Three Discussion Thread

Bit worried about when De-Lady-signer tried to save her castle as a blueprint, it said there were too many objects :/
The limit is 500 pieces, which means that complex buildings wont really be shareablekinda worrying
Hiya, don't be worried; the "limit" is still not set; we are constantly testing how far we can take it and how we can optimise everything. This applies to any aspect in the game, especially being in Alpha 3
I could see considering the number of pieces because more pieces that get on the map stronger the person's computer needs to be.
My recommendation would be to "test how far we can take it" as you said Bo, but then provide an option to break through this barrier and download "super detailed" blue prints with the user acknowledging once that these assets are "computer resource intensive if you place too many in your park".
I can see builders breaking their desired super mega detailed blueprint object into 5+ blueprints that have to be placed separately which will make the menus more filled with stuff, when it could just be one blueprint.

As for limit please have Silvarrets buildings as reference.
Another way to do it is to make it modular, make like 2-3 segments... but maybe make it easier to "puzzle" them together.
That would probably be quite easy, just use a few coloured blocks to line things up when you split them or something.
Something for the community team. I know guys that it takes some time to upload the main day livestream video, is it possible though to add the small videos shown today at the developer stream (about blueprints, avatars and sharing)to the youtube channel please? You added the other ones from the previous two days almost as soon as they were shown on the stream live.
Many thanks...[heart]

I'm really happy with what we have been shown. Very excited to play Alpha 3 in a few days.[big grin]
Ollie43 did a really good job today on his part of the park. He had a slow start trying to get his path alignment to work, but after that his park really took off, and the final layout looked really good. Make sure to check his part of the stream out.
Then De-Lady-signer came on and made a castle in Ollie43's park. There are some path level views later in the stream looking through Ollie43s park with the castle in the background, and there are some epic sight lines.[up][yesnod]

I am so pleased with all of the new features we have seen this week. Really looking forward to Alpha 3 as well as the full release!
will there be options to build plazas?

Optimizations are being made, but do make note that you won't see that in terms of CPU utilization reductions. The game is coded to make full usage of the CPU for calculations, all in real time.
It appears that Planet Coaster is set to utilize about 70% of the CPU (In alpha 2). Is it a possibility to set that higher? I'd like Planet Coaster to use as much as possible, be it 90% or even 95+%. As high as I can get it before seeing any ill effects. I have a high core count processor, and it is unfortunate seeing it not being utilized fully. I'm literally losing the potential of 2 full CPU cores.

Hi dear,
No worries! The VOD takes a while to upload but the small videos you are talking about go live no more than an hour after the show
they can all be found in the gamescom playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWGb27faVkpOK_Y3AUw4ojFsFMi228rwcHope this helps! [heart]
Thanks Brett, that is good to know. I'm not looking for reduction in CPU utilization as much as I'm looking increased FPS. I'm glad to hear that optimizations are indeed being made, and thanks for your reply!
