Transport rides and bigger parks in alpha 3?
- Thread starter zuhcvffq
- Start date
We will hopefully find out all the details of alpha 3 during the live streams in the coming weeks [happy]
I'd assume we'll at the very least get the "Connie Express"
I hope we get railroad crossing with it.
Does that not have wooden supports? Is it not therefore expected to arrive when wooden coasters do? (which they've said, maybe not alpha 3 maybe not beta)

So a grid such as item placement that snaps to a map grid?
That would be great! Or at least a "snap to paths" for objects such as benches, lamps, etc... Oh and especially for fences!!
When I read this I interpret it to mean something similar to what Cities Skylines and Sim City 5 do with their road placement. Both games will show major and minor grid lines emanating from the current road segment. In the case of Sim City 5, it'll also show common radius markers for curved roads. These guides are helpful to figure out how long a segment needs to be so that a fire station (or a flat ride in PC's case) can fit.
Personally, I don't find this important for PC. However, I can understand why people might want it for really getting precise placement.
I wouldnt look at it as just for "precision placement" but you could also say that it would be very helpful for the less experienced players who simply liked that simplicity of grid placement compared to the newer free-form style. obviously in time we will grow accustomed to this and nobody will want to go back to the old style, but it would be nice not to leave it out completely for those who are new and just learning (just my 2 cents [tongue])
Yes, exactly. I suffer from a teensy tiny bit of OCD so this would be a great help. My dream would be to have multiple grids:
[sad]A parkwide grid like in the older games to build on/plop things down[sad]
[sad]-a grid that's created by paths, trails or rails like in SimCity *shudders* 2013 as BigDragon wrote.[sad]
I am already glad that we already have:
[up] no grid [up]
[up] a grid created by items/buildings themselves. [up]
It's truly amazing that we already have those 2 latter things and I'm really happy with them as they are incredibly powerful tools when building. Just not that great when trying to be neat and tidy and suffering from a case of the gamers variant of OCD. [squeeeeee] And that's where the former 2 come in - to fill the gaps that come when building gridless.

yes an option to turn the grid on and offI really miss the grid from RTC3 too. Aligned paths and stuff is key.. OCD anyone.
[confused][confused] I don't get the content of this post at all. Could you elaborate?
I think you misunderstand what they mean by square paths. Paths with squared off corners, not rounded ones.
