Planet Coaster 2: General Discussion

Responses from the masses are a bit peeved about them announcing a DLC given the game's state (which I've been mostly fine with).

Probably coinciding with the big hotfix also out today.

It's not a hotfix today, it's the first free big update.

It really annoys me the way some of them are commenting on it. They're behaving like they are being forced to buy it in order to carry on playing the game. If you don't want to spend £8 (or £1.60 per ride) to make a point that the game isn't in a good enough state then don't!!
 
I think I have found a bug since the update - can anyone confirm they see the same behaviour on their PC version?

Select any piece of scenery, preferably a non-gridded item. Its Settings menu opens on the right. Now try and close that menu using the X top right. It won't close. Even if you place the item leaving the "next" item attached to your cursor, it still won't close with the X. The only way to close it is to click the middle mouse button/wheel to exit out of placement mode.

Also, while you have the scenery piece attached to your cursor, if you click any of the Move icons (Move, Advanced Move, Rotate or Scale) in the Settings menu the game places your piece down "behind" the menu, effectively where your cursor is in your field of view on the screen, which of course is not where you want to place that item!

If others experience the same as me, I'll log it on the Frontier Issue Tracker, if not, I'll try reinstalling the game as I know for some users that has solved other issues in the past.

Yep I've noticed that as well! Super annoying.
 
Always the risk when buying new games these days.

Even big sellers end up on sale a few weeks or months after initial release. Unless it's Nintendo.
 
Hi guys, does anyone know if you can attach scenery to the drop tracks on Planco 2? I.e the wooden planks on Thirteen? And if so how do you go about doing this?
 
So i just got Rollercoaster Tycoon on Switch having waited 20 years to play it again and whilst it's charming it's not without its limitations (including bewilderingly no sandbox mode). I do mostly enjoy the management aspects so it's still fun but the actual creation can be a little frustrating, especially using the Switch.

I'd kind of hoped to do things like rebuild my favourite parks and modify them but i don't think that's going to be possible. Do i need to get with the times and get Planet Coaster 2? Is it going to be a more satisfying experience with modern comforts and so on?
 
It depends what you want from the game. Management aspect sucks in PC1 & 2 but they're great sandbox games.

I wouldn't bother with PC2 just yet as it's still quite buggy and there isn't much scenery content yet. Parkitect is pretty good for management if that's your thing.
 
Parkitect isn't as demanding on the PC specs either.

Unless you get console PC2. But updates on that seem few and far between.
 
If i got PC2 it would be on PS5. Happy with just sandbox. Are you able to download parks other people have built and tinker? And if so do people upload models of real parks?

Yes to both of those questions, there's crossplay elements with PC PC2 players too, provided that the player has enabled the option.

However with Update 2 released tomorrow, screens with custom video and speakers with custom audio will be possible and they state in this official video that the custom media option is for PC users only. So I suspect any park created with custom media will either be hidden from console download lists altogether or will be available but custom media will be missing.

The issue with PC2 is they have tried to make it console compatible which has limited game play and they are now backtracking quickly.

Honestly games like Planco are PC games, if you want to play them buy a PC!

Rant over 😂
