Has there been anything said on how we obtain new rides and scenery? as of alpha 3 the scenery and rides options are pretty stingy so I assume its not worth showing off how you "learn" them yet. but maybe it was talked about and I missed it.
Nothing has been mentioned on R&D at this time. Hopefully it will be implemented. The scenarios would be a bit boring if we had everything available right from the start.
I really hope research and development is a mechanic they will add at some point. So far they have mostly focused on game aesthetics but hopefully they will reveal more about actual managing mechanics later, because thats my favorite part of coaster sim games. I think its a good sign that they posted that video with the coaster testing and statistics menu, it shows that they are starting to think about those things now.
