Improvements to Coaster Support System

I'm hoping for multi station support soon. ������

Me too!
Its the biggest issue with the game for me. If they added this and never did anything else with the game I would be totally fine with it.
Its a coaster building game yet the versatility of coasters and the freedom to make whatever you like is very limited.

Thank you guys so much for all of your detailed feedback [up] I'm always impressed by your seemingly endless knowledge of everything roller coaster related [yesnod]

I'm collating your feedback into our internal documentation and reviewing/considering how and what we can implement in the future.

We are continuously working hard to improve our game in every aspect and I'm super excited about all the awesome things to come in the near future.

I hope you enjoy the new support system configurations , there was a fair amount of effort put into these. Please let me know how you find them when you get the next update, I'd really appreciate it [yesnod]

Thanks again to everyone of you beautiful people for all your help and feedback!

Sam.

Thank you Sam for taking in our feedback. It is greatly appreciated that you care so much about Planet Coaster and the community! [happy]
 
Man, you guys are mwah. So impressed. My only note would be that the inverted loop support that holds up the top of the loop isn't realistic for any form of inverted coaster, and I'd probably choose not to have it.

I think you probably know the proper way is this, as it seems you tried to implement it in the last update and I saw it in some artist impressions/mock-ups:

But I get that it might be pretty hard to get right!

Thank you Sam and the whole Devs for making Planet coaster the greatest game, and we really appreciate your hard work and the effort you put into making such game possible! It is easily the greatest game ever created, and also the greatest devs ever [heart][big grin]
 
Cobra rolls need some minor tweaking, the game has them connecting at the top of the roll

but every real life one I have seen have supports connecting as it exits the half loop and starts the roll itself

now this might mean that the pre-made game cobra roll needs some tweaking too because they are not quite life like either where the roll part starts too late and is more corkscrew like
 
When will the update go live? im so excited to see the supports become more realistic!

Thnx for keeping this game awesome and make it even better!

I already took some screenshots of my coasters so i can compare before and after the update :)

Any news on when it will go live? [tongue]
 
Looking great! One suggestion would be to have the supports increase their diameter as the coaster's height increases. Right now supports for tall rides like giga coasters look too flimsy. Thanks for the dedication as always!

THIS! If I were to make one suggestion as to how to improve the coaster supports in this game to make them look more realistic it would be for the supports to be larger and more spaced out as the lift hill or track becomes higher off the ground.

I like some of the small suggestions others have made about how the track connects to the supports but making this one change to the size of the supports would make the biggest difference visually as to how the support system looks

I've attached some images of what I'm talking about. Thanks for hopefully reading this and considering the suggestion. Love the game

Also the looping coaster has no supports for the verical loops, it just flaots...

Improvements are great, but now there are sections with no support at all!!
