Is it now possible to make management balance mods?

With the new scenario editor is it possible to edit construction/maintenance/research costs, prestige lengths/values etc per ride (or globally) before the rides are placed down. Or global parameters like park rate weights? Basically my question is: is it finally possible to rebalance “challenge mode” games by modders to make it more challenging? As far as I understand it is possible to save an empty map so it is like “challenge mode” and it is possible to tweak guest behavior globally. But is it possible to set core balance related numeric parameters?

Hav you watched the livestream? Everything is explained there.

You set the parameters before you start the game, and if it is wrong you can edit it again in the scenario editor.
 
I didn't see the ability to change the cost of research, which was a shame. Some rides and coasters are cash cows, and I'd love to put them behind expensive research so they don't turn out so profitable in the end.

You cannot edit individual costs for rides as far as I know. It's still possible to tweak guest behaviour and traits to make it more difficult.
 
I’ve seen only “refund cost” and loans on finance tab. Where can you set stuff like maintenance, prestige for individual rides without placing them down? Or I need to place them down, change parameters and then remove them? Where can I set park ratings global effects (like scenery rating)? Is it really only the research cost is which cannot be modified? I could live with that I guess…

Oh. Bad news.[ugh]

Indiivdual settings are not possible.

Yet, there are still people at work at building mods, they are discovering the data so maybe soon there might be an application that can change these settings.

I honestly haven´t watched it, I simply have no time for that (and I doubt I´m the only one). It is unfortunate there is no summary for people such as myself...

Although you say "everything", they did not address editing prestige even though they were asked and said they were going to. Unless it's been addressed elsewhere, we still don't know.

Which will come upon release date.
So anybody who can't handle a livestream (which isn't subtitled and was difficult to follow) is out of luck? That's divisive, it denies those who can't the opportunity to fully participate until the release. [down]

LOL @ "can't handle a live stream"

If you "can't handle" a video then there are probably more pressing issues to be worried about

Lol. The in-game images explained more than the devs did. You don;t need sound for this livestream to understand what they are talking about.

And you should not take "everything" that literally.

I don´t know, the stream itself is long about hour or even hour and half? I don´t have time to go through that and catch all information. Therefore I would say it would be more effective to write down a summary at least of extra content announced that had not been announced at the Expo. Not only for those who don´t have time, but also for people who are not that familiar with the game yet or even for press (it would be much easier for them to write down articles about PC then).

Needlessly mean really. There could be any number of reasons this person can't follow uncaptioned videos (maybe english isn't a first language or they're mentally disabled?)
 
I'd really like to be able to modify both the Price of every item, as well as the Prestige for rides

I honestly was a bit disappointed that we couldn't change the costs of advertising campaigns and research. Don't get me wrong, the scenario editor contains a lot of awesome features, but there are some improvements that can still be done. I liked that we had a wider range of loans we can soon enable/disable, but I am missing a way to define one myself. The marketing campaigns can be enabled/disabled and the cost is even displayed next to it, why not make it editable? Same for research, at least give us a way to change a modifier for research cost and research time for the coaster/flatride/shop/theming categories.

Like I said, it's almost there, but I can still see myself craving for some extra options [happy]
