Can we have water as cheatcode in Alpha 2

Water is overrated.
It just hangs out in low places.

Maybe water will make the game to have killer low FPS and they need to get it up so people won't go all omg what is this crap all over the things, just like some people complained about coaster editor. Some just do not understand even if it is behind code access. [rolleyes]
Of course I hope for it to be code-accessed but I also understand if they choose not to do that. It is quite brutal to program. Maybe the water we saw was something else, or something they hardcoded into place or something like that. Well, future will tell.

It does seem as if they're using RCT3 water as a placeholder until the PC version is ready to be added. Get the impression they want to 'wow' us when they finally reveal it so I'm sure we can wait just a little longer [cool]

I wonder why only so few people seam to want it.... [blah]
For sure, the first thing that comes into my mind is a mountain with a spring, that flows down into a small lake, where coasters come through and spray up some water, but it's an alpha. That's something i can do in a year when it's finished.
Water seams to be somehting a lot want, at least a lot of the streamers use blue walls, signs or what so ever. I myself don't use this since it looks way too fake.
But even with a water like seen in alpha 2 videos, it would be very cool looking.
My vote goes for "waterworld"! [cool]

Honestly am wondering if it is too resource hogging at moment rather than the fact that it is not fully implemented. The Devs are likely on the latest hardware so can push the game further than the average customer can at the moment and thus they feel the impact it would have in game is too great?
Just a thought rather than it being directly linked to the actual quality of the water in the current build.
Although wouldn't mind the cheat code to unlock and then if it does cause issues a player can choose to just not use it at least?
Am on the fence about this tbh. What I would also be happy with is even if it's not ready with Alpha 2 initial then maybe we can see it added to an update as it is still part of the terrain rather than waiting a further 8 weeks for Alpha 3 to drop when we will no doubt have so much more to check out then anyways.

I'm not completely agree.
I mean, of course first impressions are important, but we are not dating a girl here. It's the alpha of a game, the goal of an alpha is to see the evolution, the improvements.
A cheatcode does not mean that it's a feature, but "a not finished feature" which is really different. The same way the showed a "underconstruction" version of the coaster tool in alpha 1, everyone knew it was under development. (to be truly implicit, they can always use a very clear password like "underdevelopmentwater")
I mean, for now, people are using a blue tile to simulate lakes, or a blue path to simulate river.
I think it's even uglier than the most basic of basic water.
And when they will improve water in the alpha 3, everyone will applaud (just like what we have just seen with the evolution of the coaster editor between alpha 1 and 2)
The only question is : Is the water, even if it's basic, is sufficiently developped to be given to users or Is it just a texture with too much bugs ?
Anyway, they "accidentally" showed water for a reason : to collect our opinion, so this is mine :
- If it's just for a "visual issue", and the water just "works" pretty well, then, they can put it behind a cheatcode. It will be seen as a good thing (such as coasters) even if we want something better in the next alpha.
- If it's full of bugs, does not react well to physics, and that in fact it's just a placehold on a plan, then ... I'm agree, just don't, and take your time.

Water won't be in Alpha 2, and there won't be a cheat code to unlock water, according to an answer that was given in the live Q&A of today. However, there is a small chance we can unlock something else... [rolleyes]
See this post in the Q&A thread

Hi thanks for your questions!
We're not sure on 'fenches'
Water won't be in as a cheat code (sorry, turns out I'm bad cop today), but there might be a sneaky code that unlocks something else. Stay tuned!
No teacups in alpha 2, (they stopped for a coffee break haha) it's another wait and see I'm, afraid.
Ye, I read it, wonder what that may be. I really can't think of something at the moment
Possibly a few shops.
That would be nice.
As I said about what this might be in the Q&A thread, it could be an alternative to water, as a temporary means of displaying it, maybe a water type of tile, which looks more like water, rather than using the blue tile that we used in alpha 1. I am only guessing here, and this could at least make it possible to create artificial lakes, until the proper water tools have been fully developed. We can only wait and see!
Having said. "There might be a sneaky code that unlocks something else." I could be barking up the wrong tree.

Have you noticed, the devs always keeps us in suspense, guessing what things might be, when it comes to giving us anything extra. [rolleyes]
My guess? Coloring rides and coasters.
coloring coasters is announced.
if not water, then a water-looking roof tile. PLEASE.
