I asked about this at the launch party and was told that they might reduce the hitbox or remove it in the future but they didn't really want to launch with tracks that go through itself or scenery and people saying the game is broken, which I do understand.
While this is good news (being a possibility in the future) it also tells me that some of the community is part in fault here about this option not being in the game.
Doesnt surprise me Frontier is scared to put this fuction in the game fully with all those threads with people that dont undertand how collision detection can be so CPU intesive with guests, and want every object in the roads to have it becuase "guests going thorugh objects is unreallistic and I want the to turn arround something" amd "if the sims has it why not Planet Coaster".
Thankfully, creativity won in that design choice but im sure if everything could go through tracks and rides some people will be saying the game is bugged and asking for real colissions.
I dont mind having it is a cheat, or a possiblity change inside the config files for the people that dont mind tweaking things there, if Frontier doesnt feel to put it in the game from the get a go.
I also want to add that, like many times, FinalmantasyX is wrong (or exagerating) and no, collision detection was not a cheat in RCT3. You didnt write the name in the peep and the cheat happened, like the rest of the real cheats. You actually needed to change things on the .txt OUSTIDE the game, and thats something not casual friendly, nor a cheat, nor an option Frotnier wanted you to tweak. It was just some of the text the config file had. The options also gave problems like rides could intersect scenery BUT not the other way round, so it was not the perfect thing some people here think they remember.
I'm coming into this a bit late but have the hit-boxes been increased since release? My themed coaster blueprints can no longer be placed. I get the "obstructed" message. The tracks or the scenery on their own can be placed, but not both. If that's the case I'd definitely like the collision to be to be tweaked a bit. I can't re-upload Treasure Guardian or Nightshade back onto the Workshop because of this.
Also, I'd like to be able to theme the flat rides a bit but the hit-boxes make it impossible. I'd like it if we get the piece to have the red outline as it does now, as a warning, and then be able to use our judgement and still place it if we want.
Yes, some were improved, some were made worse, thats why many stuff in older parks is super hard to edit or fix for the workshop.
