Sandbox: Creative and Standard?

[RadicalEdward2]

Is there any actual difference between Creative and Standard Sandbox mode?
I wanted to see what the difference between them was but, I honestly can't tell the difference since you can just change the presets once you're in the pause menu.
So is there any actual difference between the two sandbox modes?

Didn't even know there's two sandbox modes...

It's actual usefull thing. I see a lot of people, they was thinking, which only different with sandbox is unlimited money and even don't know then is whole really good setting's options.
This setting helps a lot for this player.

IMO, "Creative Sandbox" could have option for deleting Entrance, Gate and Tunnel and then they can be placing anywhere (including behind the edge, of coure, only this tree buildings and monorail tracks). This will means trully and definitive unlimited sandbox experience.

Why would you want to replace the entrace? I can't see the point...

Well it would be nice to be able to pick your own spot for the entrance. It just allows for more creativity.

For several reason: First, I want place entrance into middle park, right next to Innovation centre. Then you don't need path/secondary monorail for transport visitor to the antertaiment centre. Yes, I can put this centre to the entrance, but not every map have enogh space for this - like Tacano or Pena.
Second, even if I want put entrance to the edge, I like choose, when this entrace poit is. And It dosn't nothing spoilt, it has fundamental impact for whole park design. For example, on coastal's maps mine park must started from the hills, on the long maps in the middle etc etc. Again, yes I can use secondary monorail, or just put path through park, but it will have impact for another thing, like Tour track - you can't do simple circe tout, for example.

I absolutelly understant this system has needed for campain and challenge. I must have some challenge in the managing of the park. But in sandbox, when we can do anything, this limitation is poitless IMO.

Ïf you could just place the entrance anywhere on the map, there would be no point in having the monorail in the first place...

For most maps there would as they are still pretty large and would benefit from a better transport rating through the monorail. And even if that wasn't the case, would that matter for Sandbox?

It's also not true. Still you can have network for transport, if you want multiple areas. Only different is choise where and how your parks started.
I repead, even now you can do park's centre next to the entrance, but I and another player want choise, where this entrance will be. And even if I don't want use monorail network in one park, it's not mean, then I don't want it in another. It's simillar request like expanded terrain tools - something you have, but you have this thing with some diferences.
In my mind I have park with different entrance and still I want use classic monorail. Thats call it creative possibility and when "new" mode use name "creative", for me it's natural additional choise.

Even duable and realistic request.

The idea of having to place your own entrances doesn't seem plausible at all, because it’s a map build element. Look at all the nine current maps with a monorail style entrance, much of the terrain around its trackway, tunnel, and JW gate, and you will see the terrain is made to comply with the placement of those features. If the maps were updated to have such a feature, this would most certainly mean replacing the old maps with the newer, as they would be receiving new features unlike any other this game has gotten before for a map, with the undeniable potential of making everybody’s saves unstable and broken.

Exactly. And it would do nothing to alter the gameplay.

In general gameplay, yes. But in Sandbox is no reason. Yes, it's buildable element, exactlly. And like that, we can have choise work with it.

And no, updating maps isn't needed. On all maps is multiple walley, where you can place entrance monorail track. Only with Gate is little problem, because it is on hill, but anyway, you can use it different way. And about this is Sandbox.

And one more thing - if you don't want changing whole entrance build, you don't do it. It's optional and we may have opportunity choose. It's Sandbox.
