It is not how it should work at all. For whatever reason they released a rushed and unfinished game and it has severely disappointed their fan base. I hope they can quickly make up for it and we can all be happy again.
Planet Coaster 2 | Free Update 1 - Coming December!
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
Im not buying the game I think until everything I WISHED FOR is fixed or ingame.. I can wait.. I'll pay for a good game, not unfinished.
Thank you for this important announcement. I hope that unloading stations will also come to tracked rides, not just coasters.
It's not in the game yet, but for rides like Armada (which usually have just one drop, at the beginning), there's often an unloading station in the end, just before the boats get back to the loading station via a non-public lift hill. For example, Piraten in Batavia in Europa-Park.

Thanks Frontier team!
Sure it is not, but they made a step forward and try to redeem themselve, maybe we should not throw a stone at them for it.
To be honest, I don't really understand the joy here.
Instead of releasing individual, easy-to-implement things promptly in small hotfixes, such as edge scrolling or color confirmation, we should now get a bundled patch in 3 weeks at the earliest, if not sometime in mid or late December.
I mean edge scrolling are just 3 little changes in the config how Ramm showed us:
<RotateFocus>Cursor</RotateFocus>
<ZoomFocus>Cursor</ZoomFocus>
<EdgePan>Circular</EdgePan>

Yup - I don't understand why easy to fix issues like this need to be clumped together in an update a month from now.
Awesome! Thanks for listening to the community and for keeping everyone up to date on your plans!
Of course, I am grateful for the feedback, because even something that does not please me is still better than nothing. However, my personal experience of recent pre-orders shows that games can be fixed very long after release. There is an example with CS2, which has not been fixed yet. I really want to believe that frontier won't do the same as paradox. However, I still don't think it's right to launch a game that doesn't work. One of the advantages of the new game in the marketing company was designated water slides. They don't work. And they won't work for another month. Visitors do not stand in queues and will not stand for another month. Visitors get stuck in the rides and will be stuck for another month. With all due respect to the developers - call it early access, lower the price, and there will be no questions for them. But I paid full price for a game that doesn't work properly. I made a pre-order believing in the developers. I'm disappointed. And it seems to me that I express the negative in a rather mild form.
Maybe because let's be real, edge scrolling being added tomorrow won't make the game any better. It needs the full package of these fixes to make it playable so they may as well come as one big good update that makes it playable.
Thank you very much for that
! Even if we expected all of this at release, especially the standard functions that were already there in Planco
. And forgetting Glass, well...
I'm still happy of course!! But will these important issues be fixed:
the six barriers don't work, the guests still go through everything. I can't understand what the problem is either, because the mechanics are familiar from part 1 and Planet Zoo (one of the most frequently mentioned issues)
If I change the color of a Flexicolor path, then the color of all Flexicolor paths is changed and there is no reset button for the original color.
The following would also be great in the future:
flexicolor option for the white stones
Please add an path option without the curbs and a transparent path would be cool for bridges
Please show in the menu at first the custom pieces and not the blueprints
small bridges that can be built over the pools
Bathers should get dressed again before leaving the park
The backstage props from Planet Zoo would be fantastic and some different cars and buses for parking lots
And please more shops and vending machines, we have 40-50 in Planco/Planet Zoo, now we have only 3 vending machines each
optionally in sandbox mode, the purchase of land please
also enable the exploration of scenery like in Planet Zoo, it's just far too easy with the rides (in general you get money and research points far too quickly)
I hope we will get the old management menu back from planco or Planet Zoo, this was much clearer and more modern
Will there be mod support in the future? This would be particularly important for props (lockers etc.) and assets, as Planet Coaster 1 thrived on this for much realism (via tmtk).

Great news. Thanks Team Frontier.
The more transparent communication is much appreciated.
I know you're all working like crazy down there and it makes me so happy to know you all care to make this game even more awesome than Planet Coaster 1.
And I can't wait to see snow and the Aurora in game. It would make building stuff over Christmas an absolute dream.

I also made the full deluxe pre-order because I believed in Frontier. I didn't think in any world they would do Planet Coaster 2 a disservice, after how amazing Planet Zoo has come to be with countless imaginative free updates and new features and gorgeous UI. I assumed it would be building upon that as a foundation but with coasters.
I opened Planet Coaster 2, took one look at the UI and knew something wasn't right. I saw the "create custom" blue boxes on the right and immediately knew the game wasn't finished. It looks terrible, cheap, complicated, badly designed and rushed. I could only assume it was accidentally still in dev mode or they had to rush it out like this and they will be patching in the actual UI, building on from Planet Zoo's UI and design language.
At least they are doing fixes and updates at all. If I don't install the game for a while, even in December will the new fixes automatically be applied when I install it for the first time? I hope they add the billboards, custom music, and security guards as well. I was hoping it would be a big step forward from 1, but right now it looks like a step forward and two steps backwards. Until they add and fix things. And bring back the hotels and restaurants.
