Fence Drag and Drop Tool?

CarolinaSeeker94 · Jun 18, 2018

Wouldn't it be awesome if we could drag and drop fencing like we do the ride tracks? It would make it so much easier than just placing it one by one. Imagine if you will a tool that allows you to drag and drop lines of fencing along with also placing it one by one for certain areas. It would be great don't you think?

It's something that Frontier have implemented for Jurassic World Evolution. I don't know what the chances are that it could be backported to the Planet Coaster engine, but we can only keep asking for it.

Highly requested feature and would absolutely welcome it. Only time will tell of it ever makes it into the game but I hope they are considering it

Big +1!

It is so unnecessarily hard work to place a fence or a hedge alongside a path in Planet coaster. [ugh]

This is extremely popular and often highly requested x1000 but I wonder why people ask about this more so than for walls? [weird] wouldnt it be a lot easier if we could just click + drag or swipe to make big long and/or tall sections of wall pieces, it doesnt even have to be curved.

YES. I hate placing fences and hedges. Having the ability to place fences and hedges down one by one is handy and I'd like to keep that, but it would also make life so much easier if we could drag and drop fences and hedges. PLEASE FRONTIER!

Because fences would probably be the first thing people use it for.

But yeah a prop line tool for any prop in the game would be best. Like Cities Skylines had. If Frontier doesn't add this they should open up the game for modding like Cities Skylines did. Then we at least could use this game to its full potential because right now it's stuff like this that keeps me from fully enjoying the game.

Agreed! With the game being all focused on creativity, it's weird we don't have tools like this that facilitate the building aspects of the game. [wacky]
