Damaged rollercoaster parts

Hi Planet Coaster.

I noticed a lot of players are creating rollercoasters with a crazy design, with extreme statistics (like G force). It would be amazing to add a damage for the rollercoaster during use, every cycle the rail of the rollercoaster gets more and more danger. When the danger point reach 100%, the rollercoaster closes. The player can see the problem using a new tool that paint the coaster in green (good), yellow(risk), red(danger), it can be used under build process too and can be fixed if necessary.

This can be merged with https://forums.planetcoaster.com/showthread.php/534-Coaster-Derailing.

Cheers!

Damage sounds good and it should hopefully almost certainly be added, but I don't think the part about 'when it reaches 100% it closes' is very realistic. Every time the ride operates, it should slowly increase the chance that it will fail (due to wear), but there should still be a chance that the ride will function as it should, and knowing when it will fail isn't certain, but instead a calculated risk, and so after a certain number of ride operations, you send a mechanic out to check that parts are still in good shape, perhaps replacing and servicing worn parts, etc, so that the ride doesn't fail when people are on it. I guess the only downside to this is that if you have many rides, it is hard to track which rides are statistically more likely to fail, but if there's a "number of operations since last serviced" stat then it could help, and hiring mechanics to do this stuff for you would also help

Just my thoughts :)

Derailing and this type of damage would be disabled on the configuration menu. Not everyone will want this feature I think.
Changing the shape of the rollercoaster can take dev time for this feature, this could be implemented with the structure of every part of the rollercoaster (I believe it is an array of parts, every part is a model, I don't know), but it is much more easier I thought.

Perhaps this could be included in the park budget, like you can choose to pay less on ride upkeep but rides would age and rust, and eventually become dangerous. Just a thought.
