Why is literally every quality of life improvement from planet zoo and planet coaster 1 absent in the game?

It feels like this was developed alongside planet coaster 1, picked up again a month ago and released? Not trying to be needlessly harsh, I just mean it is genuinely missing everything the other 2 games added and innovated on over the last several years? All new features in free updates that were set to be perfect for planet coaster 2 and continue the innovation of the Planet franchise and universe, but it's all...gone? I imagine they will be getting added in.. but I truly hope it doesn't take the next 4 years for them to add them slowly, as we did all that waiting, they're already in planet zoo, and they can hardly be announced as new features.

Feeling a bit deflated about my favourite game company and franchise. I didn't think they'd release something so unfinished and bare. I really assumed it would pick up where planet zoo left off but with coasters. They have something so amazing and well-designed in the UI of planet zoo and they made it all bad in pc2 for no reason at all. A PC game doesn't work with a console UI. All they needed to do was keep the good UI design language but for pc2 and everyone would have been over the moon. I pray they will re-skin the UI, do it properly and return to the design language of pc1/planet zoo.

I'm inclined to agree. I do think the developers are truly committed to putting in the effort to add the quality of life improvements suggested by the community, however, that will take a bit of time, and I do feel like the game in terms of quality of gameplay experience is unfinished and feels "beta".

To the developers of PC2: Please don't feel like your efforts are unvalued because they are, and I'm still able to enjoy the game, but there's a lot of work to be done to improve the gameplay quality.

P.S. can we please get smaller UI scaling, 70% is still way too big for my display.

Spot ON.
It is so deflating to know that all the feedback and Frontier's work that went into the last two Planet games, that should have been the board to dive off from for this entry, is gone and we've got to give the same ol' feedback again and hope it doesn't take years to get back tools and features we've been using for years.

I thought I was going crazy so im glad someone else brought it up!!

It's the small things that are creative that are driving me mad thinking im just lost in the UI.

Changing the colour of water, why can't we do that? It's so simple yet missing.
Seeing inside staff shops, just for pure creativity and realism was great to see in PZ

There are some pretty intense moments in some threads, maybe because of passion and TIME we put in these games. A lot of feedback is on point. The thoughts are often similar. It is amazing to see. Whatever reason is behind the current state (time, preassure) i also hope we don't have to wait another 4 years to completing this game. Instead, just see that they implement all the systems we love and exist already. ❤
