I'm afraid that Planet Coaster will lack a custom catwalk system

[Deleted member 210112]

Right now, the only two coasters that come with the first alpha have these certain lift hills. I the arrow has this pretty reasonable catwalk, but the B&M one really isn't one I admire for a few reasons, and I hope it doesn't stay this way at release. From what I've seen, not all B&M coasters have stairs on one side only, and a net on the catwalk that's that wide, or not a net at all. I'd see it being useful for dive coasters. And that's another thing. The fact that you have to change the train for each track is a great idea, but some people may want a dive coaster, so I hope they wont need to use the B&M track, then change the coaster train type to a dive coaster, then the catwalk being to small. I want a customizable catwalk, so you can change the stairs to be on one side or both, change the width of the net, or add a net or not. I also think you should add a catwalk for design instead of needing a lifthill, an example could be the end of a coaster, or an excavation safety spot. Then some off-topic extra features like changing lift hill speed, so old coasters can have a slow lift hill, or a fast lift hill if it's an Intamin. Just a thought I had. I want to see what you guys think.

coaster were not even ment to be in this phase yet, so obviously its far from done. after phase 2(which will be all about the coasters and terrain forming) i would check if this "issue" is still there, if so put it on a suggestion topic
