I would like someone to datamine Planet Coaster and reveal rides and shops that will be in the game (just like how an Arms datamine revealed more fighters and a Splatoon 2 datamine revealed more weapons).
Datamine of Planet Coaster
- Thread starter Chicolin4u
- Start date
Do it yourself if you want that info so badly.
Lol, topicstarter read some story in the news and probably has no idea what datamining is. Hint: it is not a magical crystal ball that reveals future developments of a product. It is true that some game developer do include nearly finished DLC and extra content in the game files, only to reveal them later behind some sort of paywall. But luckily, Frontier is not one of those developers.
However, the community did figure out the existence of small bits of (alpha) content, long before they made it into the game. The Iron Horse comes to mind. They did so by looking into the filenames of the game data, you call that datamining if you want to be fancy about it.

You can do this yourself if you really think there will be something interesting to find, in 2 simple steps:
1. Open a game file in a hex editor
2. Look at some interesting strings in said hex editor.
Simple. [wink]

Except they did.
Nothing wrong with that though, quite common in software development...
That is exactly what datamining is. Looking at or in files to find things not yet announced.
This also has happened with the DLC packs, which files where existant for before the update that actually added them...
