I was trying to take the low effort bit to a new height and flew too close to the sun apparently.

>>12498937
The problem was it isn't low effort enough, you should have just not bothered with the proper OP pasta. Just screenshot the main menu, type "vrct", and click post

>>12498158
Your OP is bad and you should feel bad

>>12498959
You're right, I should've made the OP image a screencap of last week's OP.

I am just now learning from Marcel's vids that time is measured inconsistently throughout the game, and this is probably what has been fucking up my logistics because I was too trusting of an integer.

Is there a curated zip of track layouts for this game?
Should we make one?

Literal robot tier behavior. Just cheat in money at that point.

Not to defend Marcel whatsoever, but I find that exploitation as interesting as great park design.

His playstyle doesn't produce nice looking parks, but he still shares some useful knowledge. For example his video about pathfinding is interesting

Its included in one of the links in the OP, but I don't think its been updated years.

>>12502584
There's a fuckton of garbage in it last I looked.

I wish tracked boat hires had their vehicle limit determined by ride length instead of station length.

Is having such a low default price for rides bad game design? Like obviously the game isn't going to default to the highest price possible and you also have to consider if guests will even have enough money for it, but it kind of gives a bad impression of how much guests are willing to pay when the default price on a solid roller coast is like 1/5 what guests will actually pay for it.

>>12502906
At least in RCT1 where guests paid for both park entrance and rides it made sense.

>>12502310
>guests travel straight at intersections
real earthshaking stuff here

>>12502512
they still contribute to guest count, so a guest standing in line is a guest not crowding or littering your paths

>mfw I realize just how much guests are willing to pay
I was just taking the excitement and doubling it. still charged an arm, leg, and first-born son for umbrellas though

>>12502906
the price scaling for everything is screwy. Within the game, you'll almost never lower prices upon opening something, but you still need to pay attention to rides because their novelty value fades. Compare the prices in-game to real life and it only gets weirder. Modern parks make their money off of entry and shops, but with how RCT functions, pay-per-ride with cheap shops is the optimal way to play.

I have been thinking about doing an experiment with real-time parks. That is, opening the park at 10am, letting the game run untouched for the whole day, and then closing the park at midnight. The whole time the park will run with paid entry, shops with prices at the higher end of what guests are willing to pay, and free rides. I want to see how well the game functions when "years" are irrelevant and the park functions over a few real days, with guests leaving at the end of the day.

>>12503001
For path networks it's not really a big deal but when it comes to how guests interact with shops and queue line entrances it really does make a very big difference.

Go-Karts are OP because the queue lines are always full

>>12502212
Scam coasters are more about boosting the guest cap than generating cash. Thrill rides are better for that.

>>12502512
Some buffer to insulate the randomness of guest arrival is worthwhile lest you lose throughput because the line didn't fill up in time.

>>12502512
>Peeps standing in line are peeps not spending money elsewhere.
Peeps standing in line are also peeps not losing happiness, and are guaranteed to be at max happiness when getting off the ride, meaning they're more likely to buy your merchslop.

The park inside the Mysterious Building is now open for business. Really happy with how it turned out because I was able to cram a rollercoaster, a motion simulator, and a launched freefall inside of it, while having that micro hyper around the outside of the reflection pool.

>>12505426
I added a security guard in there because some of the benches and trash cans inside were wrecked. You now have your own Baul Plart.

>new update
>quarter helix element for many new coasters
fuck yeah I didn't even realize how much I wanted this

>>12509632
sometimes updates are cool

When i heard quarter helix i imagined a quarter corkscrew and then couldn't imagine how that would work. I don't understand what value a quarter helix is outside of damage control for when your coaster doesn't align. Adding new pieces is cool though, that guy is doing genius work. If you've ever looked up how the coaster sprites are arranged, getting it to work is something else

>>12509746
>I don't understand what value a quarter helix is
It's an easy way to get a three-quarter circle turn in without the need for a dip. If it works the same with inverted coasters and conventional coasters, it means you can make steeper helices. Having more track versatility like this is going to open up a lot of options for track layouts that can't exist now.

>>12509746
>damage control for when your coaster doesn't align
With such a restrictive toolkit, you either have limited track possibilities or have to make unnatural *HRNK* adjustments to line things up. Calling that "damage control" is just fucking asinine. Anyone with any intolerance for *HRNK* appreciates these piece additions. This is nearly as significant as the straight flat to diagonal sloped pieces that got added.

You're not actually confused by that onomatopoeia, are you? Context alone makes it make sense.

I would never be confused by *HRNK* onomatopoeia, me *HRNK* mind is too sharp for that.

Me? Oh yeah, you BET I *HRNK*
