I’ve been starting to play around with rct2 and am amazed at some of the dense examples I’ve seen - this game is really deep!
I’m still using the premade rollercoasters (honestly, just getting the pathing right for them is complex enough!!) and am really struggling to get the ramps to connect without massive amounts of stuffing around. I’ve only just realised with the elevated ones I can have the path coming off them remaining elevated which tends to help with the pathway / track collisions, but I’m not even sure how I did it!
I hate sitting through mindnumbing YouTube videos as typically they’re completely uninsightful (rct2 might be a different situation, I suppose, especially being a beginner), I feel like jumping in and learning as I went might’ve been a mistake…
Are there some tips I’m missing and how the hell am I supposed to see the entrances and plan the paths without buying the coaster and hoping it going to work? (I’ve rebought the same thing several times when I can’t get it working!)
Cheers
I dipped back into it again and realised I’m a total doofus. I was okay with rotating them but it is challenging seeing exactly where the exit and entrance is - them I realized the black and white squares on the minimap… Silly me.
Building bridges out from the rollercoaster makes so much more sense, too (and ya can tweak the directions of the bridge if need be). I can’t believe I missed that!
I am glad you figured it out. Remember to post screenshots of your parks once you have some stuff built.
… Maybe? :)
I’m still get much in the beginner phase of plinking down all the shiny new things, it’s a haphard mess! I certainly would not want to be one of my customers :)
