Easy curved pathway fencing

[AntiSaint72]

If you're like me and want to have short fencing around all of your pathways (like most real life parks) it's a painstaking process to add them manually. I have figured out an easier way to tackle this problem.

Sorry if this has been posted or is a "no-duh" (I'm a newbie to coaster games), but I've found that an easy way to get fences around all of your paths is to start out with one of the sandbox parks and lower the ground using the terrain tool just past the entrance (a decent amount, nothing crazy). Then use the foundation tool to level the rest of the park to that height. Now, draw your paths at the height of the original entrance - it would be good to have a nice overall layout of your paths throughout the park at this point, since going back after you've added rides, coasters, etc. may make this difficult. Since the paths you're drawing are elevated the game will automatically add fencing to them. Feel free to experiment with different path textures as each one has it's own style of fence. Once you've laid out your paths you can use the foundation tool once again (but this time starting with the height at the immediate entrance) to bring all of your lowered terrain back up to the path height. There will be a small ravine between your path and the ground you just raised but you can fill that with foliage or rocks or whatever and voila! Curved fences that follow all of your paths!

Here is a quick video showing the process:

Must say i never tought of that! Its a very nice workaround and i will definatly use it if there won't be a better option upon release.

Yet i still have confidence fencing will be park of Alpha 3 or somewhere beyond. It's my guess they will come together with other "path items" like benches, picknick table's, litter bin's. Hopefully we will be able to choose which fence style we want just like in RCT3.

Nonetheless, thanks for sharing!

LMFAO dude this video is great but seriously the devs need to find a way to improve this LOL [haha] auto fencing along paths is a must have, and so are lamp posts.

i would have liked to have seen the tutorial video go a little longer, showing you connecting more paths out of your main path, i mean your not going to do that all the way through a park so do your main paths connect to the outer paths easily or does the terrain line up just right??

Yeah, like Vampiro said I'm guessing they'll add this ability in at some point before release. I only showed this as a (hopefully) temporary workaround. I haven't used this extensively or built a whole park with it - it just occured to me yesterday to try it and I thought it worked out fairly well for what it is. I think in order to connect any other paths you'd have to lower the terrain around where you're going to connect it first, otherwise the game will make it a ground path with no fences.
