Hello everyone,
I wanted to start this thread to have a place where we can collect our feature wishlists in one thread to make it more accessible for the community managers. I'll start with my first features I'd love to see in game and I also kept in mind, that they're somehow possible due to possible development limits etc.
In a Planet Zoo update, there was an update to scenery pieces when it came to climablility. Animals could climb on those scenery pieces if they were in their reach (e.g. trees, wooden posts, etc.) but we also had the ability to enable or disable the climable option. What does that mean for Planet Coaster 2?
To not work always with the barrier pieces (like we did in PlanCo1) it would be great to have the possibility to toggle a "barrier"-function within scenery pieces, so that e.g. a Rock, Center Piece or Coaster Supports (scenery groups) can be marked as "barrier"-enabled and people's traversable areas will recalcualte so that guests move around those pieces. This could also work within pools if you want to add theming to pools.
Then a heatmap for the traversable area would also be helpful focused on guests only and staff.
Hotels
I'd really like to see at least the hotel feature we had in Planet Coaster 1 with an entrance and the possibility to connect room-blocks to this thing. An improvement on this with different sized rooms with design indoors like with the Staff facilities we had in Planet Zoo would be even better!
Restaurants
We got an amazing restaurant feature in Planet Zoo with a bigger Kitchen-Building an connectable tables. It would be great to see these restaurants in Planet Coaster 2 aswell, the only thing I'd additionally like to get, are more different table options, as we only had 2 different designs in Planet Zoo.
Gift-Shops
Planet Zoo also had modular Gift-Shops in one of the later updates. This was an amazing option to finally make indoors of buildings more valuable and I'd really love to see those modular shops in Planet Coaster 2 aswell. There could also be then the possibility to connect the Shop with a ride to sell on-ride photos.
Lockers
Simple Guest Facilites like the ATM in Planet Zoo – maybe available in 4 sizes to Place on paths like the wave machines e.g. 4m, 8m 16m
UI Saving indicator - Game Overlay Menu
When you're in the overlay view where it's possible to save the game, there is no indicator if or when the saving is finished. Yes it is very fast, in comparison with the old game, but I always have a bad feeling as I am not 100% sure if it saved correctly.
Water features like waterfall pieces with tubes (hydromassage). In my opinion they could work like enrichment items in Planet Zoo, that it will trigger custom animations of people interacting with these elements when being within a pool area where those items are placed.
Additional Wallset Pieces for Flumes
It would be great to have Wallpieces with matching cutouts in the size of the diameter of the slides. Those would be handy to build flumes starting indoors and going out of a building.
Whirlpools
There could be whirlpools added like sunken versions into pathing, or like regular ones who can be placed like picnic benches.
Recolorable Pool Tiles
Would be nice if the tiles texture (4 at the moment) within the pools would be recolorable.
For all the rides like dark-ride tracked rides and coasters/water rides it would be great to get a special track piece with a On-Ride Photo Camera. After including this track piece, there should be an option to connect it to a Just a Moment shop or maybe (if added in the future) connected with a modular gift-shop.
As there are often not staff members selling the photos, especially for smaller rides there could also be a vending machine added as a photo-printer to buy those pictures.
Multiple Stations for Family Train tracked rides
The Family Train tracked ride has not the ability to have multiple stations. It would be great to see this one as well with multiple station to use it as transport ride through the park.
