Why can't we advert for toilets?

[Alistu]

I was attempting to do this in my game last night and was disappointed to discover I couldn't.

I have two blocks of toilets about equal distance from some food and drink stalls but I would prefer the guests to use one block over the other due to the traffic flow of guests. If I could link signage advertising to them then I could totally influence that.

Plus, what if I decided to have some toilets pay and others free? I could use the advertising feature to push guests to the pay toilets instead of the free ones. You may ask why I would do that in the first place. I don't know. It was a hypothetical example that a player MAY wish to play IF they had the choice to do so. Nobody said the game HAD to be played in a realistic way.

I do agree that it's not that important, but the option to be able to, would be nice.

Yes, and the free options is what this kind of games is all about in the end. [up]

Great input of this issue! [happy]

Just tried to link an ATM sign to an ATM, that didn't work either. [ugh]

Hm, I figure that would be the case. [weird]
I haven't tried all facilities yet, but I expect only info booths to work.

I'd have thought that should have been a given.

Yeah would be nice to advertise for toilets

Yeah would be nice to advertise for toilets

absolutely !

Did anyone notice signs can now also advertise toilets? Probably some already did. It was a much requested thing because we weren't able to after 1.4. But I don't recall (even when checking it now) it being in the patch notes after that (from 1.4 to 1.7.3) . . .

Whoo-hoo!

I've just linked the restrooms and ATMs in my park to their respective signs! It works! (Not sure it affects anything, but it can be done now.)

It was already in 1.7 I believe, but yeah, it was never mentioned in the patch notes....

Great it can finally.

It does really affect things. People get happy and shout things like: "Toilet Block 500 is the place the adverts talking about, let's check it out"!.
Not to sure if I ever get that excited from toilets, but okay.

I checked for it after 1.5 and 1.6 and it wasn't implemented, so yeah, it probably happened in 1.7. And have you caught guests thinking "is the place the adverts talking about, lets try it" re toilets? I haven't yet -- if they are, that probably means the influence modifier's actually working, and there's a real affect! That'd be sweet. [up]

Yes they really do, as well as saying, that items from toilet block 500 are great value

Brilliant stuff! It's been quite a while since I've been in the game as I just haven't had the motivation but I might have to hop back in to check this out.
