Planet Coaster 2: Speculation and Rumors

I had a thought last night that a nice feature would be.....

The Add To Building checkbox should be available when placing a custom coaster station. So as to properly line it up with the grid for that building instead of having to manually shift the station to fit.
I don't know if that's what you mean,but you can enable a station grid to build your building on when in the coaster general menu.

i'm not sure i understand what you mean 🤔 you can already build a coaster station on the grid of a coaster station. There is a Button that lets you do that. If you mean build a Station on a Grid of another Building, that works too when you click the "Edit" Button of an existing Building 🤔

This comment and answers should be moved to the suggestions thread...
 
Well seems like they are going to announce the f1 manager thing next on monday. I've read rumours that they might announce Planet Coaster 2 in the summer months,but please remember nothing is confirmed. And another rumour in this thread suggests announcements come as early as 2023,so I'm not getting my hopes up anytime soon,unless they do a tweet or announcement or anything in that direction.🤔
 
In the past i've been comparing this game to Cities Skylines and I still think this is a very great way to compare modern simulation games too. When we all grew up with the early Rollercoaster Tycoon and Simcity games they were the first ones of the genre. And I think in current year Planet Coaster and Cities Skylines are the only worthy modern games you can compare these too.

Cities Skylines offers an amazing base game with full steam workshop mod support and they released tons of expansions later on that people still bought. Because having this amazing base game with mod support just offers for unlimited replay-ability. Because it draws in so many fans and modders the game just keeps growing and growing. Many times PC games have been proven to be even better with mods and I think the next Planet Coaster should go for a similar approach.

The amount of DLC cities skylines DLC released after the base game proves how succesful PC sim games can be and mods only add to that experience. Now in the past I heard arguments against this because people thought it would break the game, or that the majority would not be capable of simply understanding this. Or arguments that it would stop the reason for official DLC to be made because mods would do it and this has also been proven wrong. The creators of Cities Skylines released more DLC than planco ever did even when they had full mod support. And the workshop system works great, I recently replayed it again while I only some of the DLC and the top mods are always updated because steam workshop is very decent organized and you could find the most used mods on page 1 or 2 anyway. I really believe the next Planet Coaster should go for this approach if they want maximum popularity for the base game as well the DLC. Because the real creators can always make more quality content than any modder can, since they understand the engine.

So for me: Mod support and Performance offers replayability so the game gains popularity and they can continue releasing quality content along with the modders long after it's release as it can really improve the game over years to come.

I also feel Planet Coaster engine underestimated a little bit how big parks could be. I think modern computers even on top hardware can struggle with big parks. So I think this is also something they have to look out for from the beginning so the game can grow without bottlenecking performance at some point.

Other than that: just offer a really solid base game. Exactly like Planet Coaster 1 but more improved on ways (like fence-tools or something from the start) to make things less tedious and easier to drop down and start playing the game. Also I think gameplay was a bit lacking from the start, you would get things like staff-centers overtime but I think the finances gameplay could also be improved somewhat.

Other than that Planet Coaster 1 is very good, it's just that it wasn't very future-proof due to having a bit disappointing performance and the lack of official steam workshop mod support. Doing this would make the game as popular as Cities Skylines and they got tons of official content and mods even being made today.
 
In Planet Coaster - Cinema view when viewing rides tends to be from ground level, once you built scenery this doesn't work so well. Drone view to do the same thing but from above.
 
But this is only about Elite Dangerous
Oh ok, I mean at least they told them,they never told us. I don't know much about Elite,but from what I've heard it has been well supported and telling the community when it's rlly over is just a nice gesture.🤔
 
So, talking about that subscription pass Frontier just dropped at the worst time, I think Planco 2's DLC subscription pass would drop at the very first paid DLC pack(s). It would still be a money grab, but it would at least be dropped at a time where Frontier would still be working on the game and constantly add content. And maybe after the very last update, Frontier would stop the subscriptions and release a Complete Edition of Planco 2 with EVERY SINGLE DLC.
 
One thing I really miss during alpha, was the pre-created areas, especially the canyon. (My favorite)
It would be cool to have sculpted land, as well as flat land options, especially in sandbox mode.
 
Oh, I have another thing Planco 2 should feature:
Vendors are now a permanent part of a shop, meaning they will no longer quit.

There will at least be something in 2024...(segment from Frontier's FY 23 Interim Results report).
 
I would love to see the announcement of PC2.

If you have a look at Planet Zoo and which features they're adding,... The game engine (or maybe a new one) would boost up the game experience of a PC2 to a new level.

But this time they shouldn't throw it away like PC1. Even if they couldn't add new features there still is a huge amount of rides in nearly every real theme park, but... nothing).

Frontier, it's time for a new start!
