Malformed path part?

MummyMoose91 · Sep 26, 2019

Hey, placing paths is being a seriously annoying issue for me. No matter how o try to join paths, or gates and buildings it goes purple round the edges instead of blue and says something about mallformed path parts? Really annoying!

Anyone else have this problem or know what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to adjust some sliders? Is it a bug?

Would be so much better if we could just paint it on or something instead.

It sounds like some sort of a collision bug. Try connecting a narrower path and widen it afterwards

I'll give that a go. How do you widen it once placed? I tried that earlier and it didn't work, although could be I just didn't have the space..

I'm at work atm. but I think there is an edit button right there when you click on it.

You can't widen it when placed, you have to remove and place it again.

I thought you did.. so I removed all mine then kept getting the issues I mentioned... Gave up in the end! I wish they didn't jump around like they do and could just be placed where we want!

its funny because whenever people complained about the pathing system in Planet Coaster, the devs or community managers would actually respond by saying how amazing the path system is and that most people find it perfect lol

it was always a pain to form terrain and paths together, and it probably wont change

This was one of the biggest reason I quite playing Planet Coaster, the pathing and some of the really annoying building quirks which all seem to be in Zoo as well. I did not care enough about Coasters to fight the issues. However I do love zoo games and hopefully that love will overcome my frustrations.

Yea, I only downloaded coaster a couple weeks ago because it was on sale. I wasn't finding it quite so annoying joining the rides to paths as it is trying to fit them neatly around exhibits and joining all the staff buildings in a cluster. It's really pretty frustrating.

Agreed!
