Why aren't curbless paths still an option? What's so difficult about that? Nobody asks about coloring the water... And are the most popular rides like the Octopus, the small venez. Carousel, the Condor, and Breakdancer coming? And of course, more shops and vendor machines. There are over 50 ready, and we have so little choice. And don't forget, everything you're delivering now should have been in the base game...

The additional western animatronics are great👍, but what ist with Miss Elly and the red western rocks and the texture?

“Why aren't curbless paths still an option”

Because they are working on other things they have been very transparent about. If you didn’t see it how are you acting disappointed when it doesn’t come?

Nobody needs colorable water, but everyone, including content creators, is asking about paths without curbs.

How come western rocks are still missing from the western theme? It doesn’t make sense to be missing them. I mean we can’t use the aquatic barnacle rocks forever! Hopefully water coasters/flumes receive a huge overhaul in the future and of course curbless paths. Appreciate the update for all of us.

Ive been a big critical user towards the game and its issues. But the way you are wording your posts totally counterproductive for the community. Instead of trying to talk for others, how about wording your posts in a way that relates to your own perception and experience with the game?
More people would take your serious if you talked about your viewpoint. No need to say „nobody wanted this“ and „everyone asks for this“.
I also havent seen many people ask for colorable water, however i dont come here saying nobody asked for it. I write what i experience, i tried to search for such posts bit couldnt realy find any.
You are realy not helping anyone with these kinds of posts tbh

This iteration of restaurants removes a bit of creative freedom by needing to make all tables path-accesible in contrast to the Planet Zoo version, but the walking to the table realism is appreciated. Color customization for water is gonna be really practical too, and it seems like the rapids plastic "water" has been improved a bit with this update, even though allowing us to change its color would prove to be useful too. As well as adding semi circular stations, that would do wonders.
Still lacking is the nature selection, with the particular absence of western rocks or any colorable rocks that don't glow in the dark and have barnacles on them.
As for an oversight, localization for this game continues to be unreliable, as it seems that the manta ray and mouse coaster attachment pieces haven't been translated (at least in Spanish).

Even if lighter in content than others, solid update after all. Surely the next big thing after restaurants is hotels in a summer update...? That or actual weather and seasons, with security returning next month those are the remaining features towards a great base of a game.

Anyone else notice they added 15 and 30 degree increments to the advanced rotation gizmo? Thank you, Frontier! That's something I've wanted since release!

yup i noticed that too. small change but good impact on building flow.
now one question i have, is there only 4 items in the restaurants menu or am i missing some option or button there?

well, turns out its again just half the job done. in the paths we still dont have the 11. increments. only 15/30/45 and so on.

funnily though, when using the normal paths i have different increments than when using the stamp tool. again a clear evidence that many small things are getting overlooked and that there is no real standard when it comes to the tools, game mechanics and overall content

Comming from a Planet Zoo perspective: We waited the whole life span of the game now for brands like Professor Wurst and some others to port over. It never happened. Given how they are also not part of Planet Coaster 2, I think Frontier abondonned those brands for whatever reason.
Also: PZ only got ONE more shop / brand and we are also begging for ages. As sad and frustrating as it is, I'm afraid we have to settle with those very limited choices. And I don't like it either.
