First post in this section... After the missus showed me some footage of PC for the console (might be the PS5 forthcoming version) I decided to take the plunge and buy the PC version.
A couple of frustrating hours later, still scratching my head a bit so would appreciate a bit of advice.
First and obvious one: How the heck do you make money in the early game? Started a Challenge mode game, you hardly have any cash so laid out a very basic arrangement with a couple of roundabouts, a food and drink shop, toilet and staff room. I took out a loan to place a small pre-built coaster. However the park is haemorrhaging money. If I put the entrance price up, no one wants to come in. If I put the price of the rides up to exceed the running cost, no one wants to go on them. Even charging $1 for the toilets isn't helping. I don't really want to just run the sandbox game, as then there's no challenge whatsoever.
I'm guessing what you need to do is hit a sweet spot where you make a small amount of money then just read a book while the game runs for half an hour, bit like Cities Skylines, rather than rush the expansion.
The version my wife showed me had what appeared to be a tutorial level with helpful and humorous comments and quips from a male and female "assistant". How do I access that in the PC version, as the only tutorials I see are links to YT videos?
The menu at the bottom of the screen seems a bit hit and miss, spent ages trying to get simple items like trash bins and benches to appear.
I'm sure there is huge potential in this game but, a bit like Elite Dangerous, it seems to have been mad a bit overwhelming when you first start out.
