New to Planet Coaster and auto-focus during coaster construction

[Schwarzkopf]

Hey everyone, I just started playing Planet Coaster last week and I'm loving it!

My question is about how the program auto-focuses on the last built piece when you hit the construction button for a coaster. For example, I am looking at the track leaving a loop and want to tweak it a bit, so I hit the construction button... and the view flys over to the last piece I built. Then it's a few more clicks and moving the mouse until I get back to that loop.

Thanks for the input!

Also, I'm having the same issue with people and staff. Say for example I'm looking at a littered walkway and I want to get a janitor there. I pull up the staff panel, click on a janitor... in order to move him, the game drags me across the park to look at him. Then I have to navigate my way back to that littered walkway... which I would have preferred to stay focused on the whole time.

There are 4 camera settings you can choose. When you're editing the coaster There are menu's at the bottom. At the far right you'll see ANGLE SNAP, AUTO TUNNEL....The last says CAMERA. The choices, when putting the mouse over the 4 icons.... are Free, Attach, Attach and Rotate, Dynamic. Have you tried to switch any of those to make it do what you want it to?

yeah that's definitely annoying. It's not easy to find the spot you want them to go to because you can't click on his name and put him in a certain spot without having to GO where he's at first.


They need to CHANGE it so we don't have to click on the actual worker to move him.

Yes, that worked so much! Thank you. That saves my eyes so much strain plus all the extra click and dragging. This game has so much to learn, it's almost like being in school again; my brain is on overdrive!
