As you can see, this is quite a list. It could be a discussion to argue if some should be triggerable (like the fairy lights), but I'm sure a big part of them should be triggerable. It would open a lot of possibilities.

Hello!

Thank you for your report. I have looked at the items you have mentioned in game and I can confirm all of them are not intended to be triggerable. This can be for a variety of reasons: Technical limitations or design choices, in most cases. Some, like the fiberglass lights, were even made before the trigger system.

Then could this be moved to Suggestions & Ideas? Any "not intended to be triggerable" because they were made before the trigger system (or any non-techllimitation reason) should be updated to be triggerable IMHO.

I agree with KickAir, surely to ensure the games longevity any feature that has come later should be implemented with all previous items, not simply forgotten.

Hello, all!

Unfortunately, introducing changes to existing items is not as simple as it sounds, as they run the risk of affecting pre-existing parks that other players may have saved where those items were placed. This is not to say it's out of the question, just that it's a risky affair that needs careful evaluation.

Thank you all for your suggestions
