New update?

I am still hoping for some very handy things and things that make the game less time consuming, but those chances are very slim because we would see some of these in the free update.

Things like fencing tool, easily build roads/parking lots with road markings, improvement to path system, round roofs and more roofs in general, line tool and so on. With a line tool i mean something like a fence tool that can place any scenery item like streetlamps, hedges, pillars evenly with several options. Of course we need a whole lot more custom signs (not in gigantic sizes), fireworks editor improvement and things we never would expect that bring us something new like paint directly on walls with custom re-sizable brushes (based on vector images like flowers, squares, various art shapes), draw lines tool, click on wall and recolor the wall instantly.

I'm very curious to see what the new DLC will be. I'm hoping the DLC will give us a lot of pieces that can be used for several new themes (like chinese, vikings, alps, atlantis, disaster, jurassic, ..).

A prop line tool would be great. Sometimes I wish the devs would spend some hours playing Cities Skylines with mods. Imagine how much inspiration that would give them.

Yeah a prop line tool! thanks for adding that, because i was thinking about the name for the last half hour. Also time i play Cities Skylines again soon. It has been a long time not playing it.

I dream one day we'll have tools like that for Planet Coaster. But I doubt Frontier thinks we need it and they also probably think it's too difficult for the players too. Such a shame..

I mean does this even look scary?

Not to me it does. To me it looks like absolute freedom. Something you NEED in a game like this.

So hopefully we'll get mods someday. A Prop Line Tool mod is probably gonna be one of the first things people make.

A Midway DLC is more likely. Frontier can do so much with that DLC by adding more food options and more flat rides which everyone been asking for. In the free update they added vending and claw machines which people been asking for. Let's hope they add more flat rides to the line up of Planet Coaster.

I don't think it will be a Midway DLC because the way Sam was talking about the claw game. He said it opens up a bunch of options if they choose to go that route. I do think the DLC will include a Skyride, however.
 
What about working arcade video games, midway games like toss the ring on the bottle, etc.? I hope we get more flats with the DLC and maybe a couple tracked rides like giant flume and skyway cable car ride like the ones that the one guy posted on this thread. No pre built arcades, just give us the games and let us make our own arcades. The fake arcade games on the workshop are ok, but they are not functional. And a lot of amusement parks have soda vending machines. I wish we could have gotten a sneak peak of the DLC. It’s probably 99% complete now. Just polishing it before release. I think the reason they are silent about what they are working on is so the competition doesn’t know what they are doing. Like Nvizzio/Atari, the makers of Parkitect, etc. That way Frontier will always be ahead of the others. I would love to have mini golf and mirror maze.

I really hope the new DLC will include more flat rides. I hope they add about 10 new flat rides. Also mini golf would be a nice addition as well.

I think 10 flat rides is a bit much for a few weeks of work. Maybe 4 flats if they’re generous plus others like giant flume, skyway, etc. These rides are more detailed and take longer to make than RCT3 rides. Although RCT3 had some great rides both Frontier made and fan made.

I can´t wait for:

1) people start complaining that they cannot play the crane machines
2) people start to complain there is not more similar stuff to crane machines
3) for good god, I can´t imagine how will people react if the DLC is not actually the midway/carnival DLC. Some people started to hype it like it was announced (it should have been announced with the free update honestly, just to avoid this kind of reactions).
 
I'm going to be honest and say I expected more from this game, which is sad because I'm usually enthusiastic about Planet Coaster, and sometimes defending Frontier when people get unhappy with content, but Vending machines, a crane machine, and some filters? nobody asked for this stuff...

Nobody had asked for all that candy and yet somehow this was what the 1st update was.

If I had to guess I'd say the reason why it's vending/ crane machines is because they can work like the ATM. Which would make them a rather simple thing to add. Even if you think the free stuff is useless or not enough, it IS something to point at and say "see, even after years you're still getting free stuff!".

Thats fine for some people, but i thought this game was for the community, at least thats how it was shown to us back during alpha
 
Not that long ago, I read this comment here:

That's not exactly how it works.

I think this is the answer.

I believe it might indeed work like this. I will stay behind and not say whatever it´s bad or good, but I feel like there is much bigger potential in the game and development team and that it´s a being a bit wasted here :(.

Anyway, thanks for the update, still much better than nothing ;)
 
I just hope they leak some info on the DLC soon, I’m itching to know what it is. It better not be something dumb. I hope it is an expansion with a few flats, couple new tracked rides like skyway, giant flume (different than the one last year) and more walls, roofs, and scenery.

'Dumb' is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I have no use what-so-ever for a bunch of water rides, but that's something a lot of people want. A bunch of summer themed crap? Well, it's crap to me, but a lot of people might like it. If there is one greeblie that I would find useful I'll get it even if it's either of those otherwise useless to me things because I'm like that. Will I be I disappointed? Well, yeah, but you can't please all the people all the time.
 
thats great philosophy Lilibat, maybe they should turn the game into Planet Antarctica and ditch the whole concept of fun in the sun, I mean why do people even go to theme parks when they could just visit the icecaps [big grin]

dont get me wrong, I love gothic themes, dark movies, etc etc, but when it comes to theme parks, water slides are at a lot of them. Ya know why? Cause families spend money to visit them, which means they must be sort of popular, right?? I think if you asked a group of kids if they would rather visit a castle or a water park on their next vacation, would it be all that surprising if they chose water parks? The problem is, it would take a lot of work from the devs and they would rather milk these mini DLCs

Why can’t they start with a dinghy slide? Then we can sort of make water park areas with working water slides. Later on they can make a pack with water slides and pools like Soaked. It would be nice to have working pools and hot tubs for hotels. And maybe elevators.

That's fine. Just remember some of us who play and love this game don't actually go to parks. I know that may seem weird but we play for other reasons. Again In am fine if they do ickly summer stuff, it's not icky to everyone. Also, completely unsurprisingly, I am on a lot of Halloween groups and parks doing seasonal halloween stuff is super popular.

Also when I was a kid I went to a few parks now and then but I was 100% more excited about wandering through castles on misty moors. [wink]

Anyway, as I said you can't please all the people all the time. I rarely expect to be happy with much of anything because I realize I am weird. I am just happy PC is still getting updates and DLC.
 
I'm just saying, is Plane Coaster about amusement parks and rides, or is it about architecture? Obviously architecture is a big part of this game, but theres tons of games that offer construction and buildings and such. I dont get why somebody who thinks summer fun is icky would play a game about theme parks expecting anything but summer fun... just seems illogical. And yes I get the whole halloween aspect, like I said I enjoy gothic stuff, but we already got a spooky pack and I dont think it would be wise if the devs strictly focused on one month out of the year. It wouldnt be a good business model if your trying to reach a mass audience.
