21 NEW THINGS From Planet Coaster 2 Deep Dive!

[@Snake756]

The painting of plants is definitely a feature aimed at us normal people. And I legit was excited for it, cause I struggle doing anything beyond spamming the same dang tree 20 times and calling it good enough.

[@grahamgalton6949]

Absolutey game changing feature. My parks look crap because I’m too impatient to plant 100s of trees and bushes

[@Geekism]

You are completely right... I know I'll use it for larger areas and 'edges' ...but I still see myself wanting the precision of individual trees in most places

[@patstuga]

​@@Geekism If you look it as a way to add rocks, I believe even more advanced people will use it

[@macarthius]

Definitely. In PC1 I made several blueprints that were just variations of foliage and rocks and it worked but this is so much better. Obviously there are times when the scenery itself is a focal point and you may want to individually place things, but otherwise I just need to quickly fill in some empty space so it looks nicer.

[@robkrasinski6217]

You can adjust the trees after you paint them, you can delete some of them if you want or move them.

[@JCO1406]

I really would love to see carnival games stalls and arcades get added. They'll be perfect for plazas and to fill in empty spaces. Plus they're everywhere at theme parks, adding that extra bit of realism.

[@Trappin4Mama]

Coin Pushers, Skeeball, Darts, Ring Toss, Milk Cans.... It would be fantastic! Carnival DLC pls

[@CherishOelslager-o6j]

I can’t like this comment enough

[@ryanmartori2589]

It's sad but I really want to make an old style boardwalk is what I really want to build

[@robkrasinski6217]

They had the crane games in PC1, maybe this time they could do more stuff. Video arcade games, pinball, skeeball, etc. And game stands where you win a prize.

[@Geekism]

Yes! Would love more midway options!

[@ErwinPPP]

Don’t know if you noticed.. but in the gamescom build there were about 2100 ish scenery pieces. In this deep dive build.. over 3100 pieces. So they’re still adding things. Which is absolutely great! There’s no such thing as too many scenery pieces!

[@Geekism]

Amazing! I hope they keep them coming

[@onedeadpixel12]

Frontier mentioned that the Gamescom build was a months old build so they could make sure it was stable for the event. I don't believe we have an exact date of when it was made though.

[@tybeaucamp]

Jonti that was absolute gold with the bar scene and cheering. Freaking hilarious!

[@Geekism]

Hehe thanks

[@anthonyphillips9366]

+1 was bloody quality 🤣

[@MrMolova]

+1 concur. Genuine lol

[@schan_ban]

I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet but under the pathing tool there looks to be 3 different "modes" and from what I can tell there's general paths that everyone can walk on, the next one looks to be queue paths for guests to line up at rides, and then the last one appears to maybe be dedicated for employees/staff only which would be awesome to help free up normal paths from like mechanics just walking around with park-goers

[@Geekism]

Yep, think that's a safe bet. Staff paths are in Planet Zoo, so I think it's safe to assume they are coming over

[@ThatMuteGamer]

3:11 The way you can have more than one slide attached to a single platform and the guests can go to either one makes me hopeful they will have dual loading stations for coasters.

[@Geekism]

Maybe!

[@MsRedNebulaPlays]

If I wasn't already excited, animatronics with multiple animations was the thing that put me over the top. I LOVE that feature!

[@katrinawest9557]

Kinda soppy comment but you look so happy in this video and it made it 100% more enjoyable. I wouldn't have picked up Planet coaster or Zoo without your cotent. So glad you have you back Jonti!

[@Geekism]

Thanks Kat! I'm in a much better place at the moment... still room for improvement, but getting there :D

[@kneymard4551]

Can’t wait for the indoor water park creations

[@MagicMonkey96]

I can’t wait to see all of the new animatronics, the two we saw here look amazing

[@Geekism]

Agreed, excited to see some human ones!

[@onedeadpixel12]

Also it looks like animatronics have scaling. The eels were different sizes.

[@Blooest]

@@onedeadpixel12 The eels are almost certainly a single piece. They specifically call out scaling being for "non-grid, non-animated scenery pieces", and I'm fairly sure that animatronics would be considered animated.

[@KittyLovesFerries]

Flumes and slides are a little confusing, but the main difference is that slides are ones that jsut go down or down in a straight line, whereas flumes tiwst and turn with water gushing around in a narrow channel

[@Geekism]

Sounds like a fine definition to me!

[@KosmikGamer]

Agree with this, in the UK people refer to both.

[@MagicMonkey96]

@@KittyLovesFerries here in the US they’re all called waterslides

[@KittyLovesFerries]

@@MagicMonkey96 yeah, they are known by that for most younger people in the uk also but are officially flumes and older generations (at least where I am from) call them that.

[@dragonblade5511]

At first I wasn't sure I'd be jumping on PC2 day one, but honestly now I want to just to experience all the new tools and improved tools. Funny enough, more than anything, this is making me look forward to a Planet Zoo 2 with similar and further improvements. 😂

[@Flupperz]

There's a small thing I feel like a lot of people might have missed is during the initial animatronics they place down, you can see a hint at some of how the management works. At 5:01 you can see the stall they placed down with an electric icon over it, showing that it's missing power.

[@Geekism]

We've known that power management is a feature since the initial announcement tbh... we just haven't seen it yet

[@lorenzodifranco2103]

I just can't wait for the release of "Planet Coaster 2" with all the new features they introduced to it, I want to play it right away.

[@BigPappaEarl1938]

I've still got my fingers crossed for parades and scare mazes 😭😭. But i have a feeling if they were to ever come they would be in an "event dlc"

[@Geekism]

I think you're probably right

[@BigPappaEarl1938]

@@Geekism to add not just seasons but months, and triggers that can go off depending on the month. It'd be heartbreaking not to get walkthroughs, even if its something as simple as reaction points where guests scream,cheer,laugh,etc.

[@MichaelDuntz]

What I found very interesting is how they put the shop and bathroom/chaning room right on top of the path without any pathfinding issues.

[@Geekism]

We've seen that a few times now... but it's VERY neat!

[@jarmoliebrand2005]

I one of the coasters I hope will be in the game is the MACK powered. It’s a simple model, aimed at a younger audience. But it’s good to have more variety in that department as well. And the type is pretty unique. One thing I hope they’ll add (though I’m a bit sceptical about it) is certain flat ride types that lend themselves especially well to be themed. With the new tools we are given (like the new event sequencer) it would be nice to build a Vekoma Madhouse, for example.

[@Geekism]

I'm really hoping we get a lot of generic flats to theme. and a Madhouse would be AMAZING

[@jarmoliebrand2005]

@@Geekism I’d envision a madhouse being perhaps an empty skeleton with just the benches and the fully rotating walls. Or maybe have some preset looks for the room. And then there’s so much the player could do to make the attraction look great. Another flat ride I’d personally love is the Intamin Dynamic Motion Stage. With Efteling as my home park, Danse Macabre is going to open as the first of its kind. And it looks so customisable. The seats can rotate. The entire stage can rotate. And the stage can even ascend/drop. Don’t necessarily expect them to add this but it would be awesome.

[@Geekism]

@@jarmoliebrand2005 Here's hoping, both would be perfect for Meanderville

[@AItaica]

Jonti, how dare you. It is absolutely NOT time to move on from the paths 😂 I could watch that beautiful, easy path-building all day haha. It’s just such a nice change. Just kidding, of course. Thank you for continuing to keep us update on this! I much prefer your summaries over watching the videos myself - more fun this way. Also, I can’t get over those flume supports - I never thought I would call ride supports beautiful, but damn, those sure are.

[@Geekism]

lol, thanks!

[@derdugati7126]

So far there are 5 things i would improve as a developer: 1. ) smaller ride pads or an option to disable them at all 2. ) same with the entrance and exit gates, please!!! 3. ) making special tracks or shuttle modes available on all coaster types instead of a special type 4. ) making the length of animation stripes drag-able (we have 2024 xD) 5.) implementing a fence system like in planet zoo for the habitats to easy build fences (if they going the time saver and easy road)❤ I do get a little bit of the feeling we will get some improvements after release, they will not have enough time left to implement the last 10 percent for the perfect game on release due to the release date soon. So we are good fans if we just cool down a bit 😅😊❤ Anyways.. I am so ready for this. My hopes are going for the systems specs not too high and a price tag of max. 60 bucks. Can't wait for more infos 😊❤🎉

[@Geekism]

I think this is mostly fair requests... well see!

[@Blooest]

Special tracks, particularly switch/drop tracks, require specific modelling and animation (IRL, some switch tracks are on a spindle that rotates them into position, some are moved side to side, etc.). Making them for all 35(?) types of coasters is a pretty big ask. I don't think we've ever seen switch tracks (aside from "offline" train maintenance turntables) on a majority of these coaster types IRL, so it's pretty understandable they'd be limited.

[@derdugati7126]

@@Blooest Good point :) I thought of a concept.. that just the rail will be exchanged for visual reasons. Mechanical objects could be standerdized to the drop/switch...what ever motion. But yeah, it is too big to ask. It is something you will have to plan before you build the general coaster system in the engine. Anyway.. there will be some and i am more than happy about them 😄❤

[@aliciaknits3331]

I died laughing with your "kissing girls" segment 😂 thank you, that was priceless!

[@AnotherAnnoyingVegan]

I think all of the crazy reveals of stuff are definitely being saved for just before the game comes out

[@NorthernRidesYaBoi]

"Dart Kinetics" for Arrow Dynamics is golden 😂❤

[@Geekism]

They're great huh? Outamax for Intamin is my favourite

[@iammaybeasliceofpie4674]

[@clairejoanne]

[@GregGibbs-nd1rt]

Another thing I’d really like to know about is on the flat rides… in the original, the Rocktopus & the Pirate ship were absolutely beautiful rides but no one would ever ride them…

[@Geekism]

Yeah, I'd like Flats to be more rideable

[@BatteryH1862]

Any Day of the Triffids reference gets an automatic thumbs up.

[@Geekism]

Yay!

[@GregGibbs-nd1rt]

Has anyone asked about the carnival games that all theme parks have where the peeps win giant stuffed animals?

[@Geekism]

Constantly. We can but hope

[@SkyNerdStudios]

I like that you can adjust how long part of the animatronic happens maybe you can just have part of it play that way you can have multiple of the same but with different movements.

[@truemetalsonic]

The addition of pools and slides is cool but there's only so many times you can show the same things before the "yeah I get it" kicks in. Hopefully they will move onto more of the themepark side of stuff soon

[@Geekism]

I think the next Deep Dive is focused on management. So I'm sure we'll get a look at how lifeguards work. Hoping it shows off weather and all that comes with that

[@truemetalsonic]

@@Geekism weather is genuinely interesting, i hope storms are part of it

[@DJThijzzzz]

Love your humor, thanks :)

[@Geekism]

Thanks for watching

[@karvids]

I hope we do get some options to turn off gates for the flume stairs and rides. I feel like I’m in the minority when it comes to small realistic builds but I do hope we get that eventually if it’s not at launch.

[@Geekism]

So much other stuff is toggleable... please these too!

[@SirWillyMx]

that green brush is awesome!!, i need that paths on planetzoo, hope they put that minigolf on a DLC.

[@Geekism]

Oh yeah mini golf dlc

[@weirsgarage]

you crack me up. Nice video.

[@maskedbandit102]

Gosh, what a dull, measured take. I demand more extreme opinions on my KZbin click-bait. :P Very good vid, as someone who wasn't able to watch it live and have been busy to give it a proper look, I'm grateful for these kinds of vids, not to mention the cheeky humor you're throwing in, as well. This update wasn't as "deep" as I thought it would've been, but lots of good quality of life improvements. It's exciting to think that maybe the Pyro scene of RCT3 could return with this game.

[@Geekism]

I think we need to understand that 'Deep Dive' is purely the name because of the whole water park thing and isn't really descriptive at all lol

[@robsonizoton]

The gate at the bottom of the tower is 'ugly' unrealistic

[@Geekism]

Yup, really want to see a toggle there

[@rayizard5687]

One thing that they hinted at that you didn't cover is that the Ride Operators' happiness will now be a thing. I still have not heard any mention about loading and unloading and if there's been any improvements to that mechanic. As far as them 'listening and responding' I fear that this is going the same way as Cities Skylines 2 wherein it was designed more for Content Creators than for casual players.

[@Geekism]

Some of the new menus do look a little opaque... there is a risk that in giving so many options you can alienate the casual player. But I don't think it's fair to say it's being designed for content creators... perhaps it's being designed for more creative players may be a fairer take

[@HunterPhenomMakoy]

With the event sequencer I hope they have an option where something triggered on a track will only trigger a certain number of times. Like on a track where the cars go through the same place more than once but you only want something triggered the first time.

[@EdOfEarth]

Hopefully the make it so we can turn off guests in some pools so we can create some cool Rivers and Fountains!

[@MattW30356]

Hoping we still see the Hybrid/Single rail RMC's which I'm sure we will, really gets excited for this release.

[@Chromono22]

I hope that one guest is able to recover and get the help he needs, my man was absolutely in a stupor due to the appearing pool

[@Geekism]

appearing pool is stupor inducing, tbf

[@benk87]

Switch track boogaloo 😂😂

[@PlanetPlipcam]

You’ve got a pretty good fine tooth comb there Jonti. Fab video!

[@Geekism]

Thanks Plip!

[@benderandownz]

It sounds like switch tracks are only for certain types of coasters. That probably means transfer tracks won't be a thing.

[@Geekism]

Right now, I think that's a safe assumption

[@josephbickerton2335]

We need the scenery brush as a free update to Planet Zoo

[@gamelover260]

im thinking of making a dual park seperated by a monorail, one water one normal

[@Geekism]

Sounds fun!

[@chrisoconnor2079]

Did you notice that in the pool's menu, it had number of guests "yesterday" and profit "yesterday" instead of "last month"? One of my biggest complaints with the original is that it was pretty much impossible to do a park with paid admission but free rides, could this be a remedy for that?

[@Geekism]

Yeah, seems like the time is really slowed. 15 minutes is now an hour in game. I'm guessing the next Deep Dive on Management will explain it more

[@Mr_Al3x]

Watched live and think I missed something 0:42 on the top on is that standard paths, queues and possibly staff paths?

[@Geekism]

Yeah, exactly that

[@king_noob_original]

[@letsbounce101]

I do wish that the event sequencer will have a snap feature as well as a multi-select

[@Geekism]

I'm sure we'll see a lot of that stuff added. There are a number of 'expected results' with that kind of UI that they really shouldn't (and I'm sure wont) miss

[@robsonizoton]

MixMaster is back!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@Geekism]

[@pwcorgi2000]

I really hope that the Dingy raft ride makes a return from RCT3. I also hope that the whitewater ride has better special track pieces than what PC had.

[@Geekism]

Also really hoping for an upgrade to the water rides

[@mishortProductions]

Dark rides haven’t been confirmed. But darkness has been confirmed. In the Deepdive around 17:50 when they plop down the end of the flume on the audio/comment. So I assume scenery does affect darkness and therefore we will be able to build dark rides.

[@Geekism]

I would take that with a pinch of salt until you see it tbh

[@FlyingHawkic]

Nobody seems to notice it, but the stamp (whether for paths or pools) seems to miss a very obvious shape: a circle.

[@Geekism]

Good point!

[@MrMolova]

Yeah this is all well and good but .. the paths ? ❤️ Also, you were kissing girls.... 🤣 You nearly had me there.

[@Geekism]

[@rAndy_883]

0:57 How will be able to rotate the deleting path tool? The shape of the deleted path is crooked to the actual remaining floor 1:13 I also wonder how easy will be to create pools like this. I mean, I’m concerned that the tool will “resist” sometimes our attempts to create the pool according to our ideas. 3:07 I also don’t like these gates, I hope there will be a way to remove them. I also hope we can customize stair entrance, because is way too blue 😂, I’d like something in steel. Also the slide start looks too grey, I’d like it to feel like plastic (a part from the steel bar, that I like it a lot) and with a color we can choose. 6:44 This is one of the best things I couldn’t even hope for. I loved it a lot! 10:21 NO. WE SHALL NOT BEHAVE LIKE THAT. We are Planet Coaster community, we gotta distinguish from all other communities. They’re giving us a fantastic game, the only down side of this game is that ain’t yet been put on the market, a part from this and the things I’m concerned about, I like everything they showed us.

[@Geekism]

I'm sure all the colored stuff will be recolorable. I imagine the stamp tool rotates like anything else

[@robkrasinski6217]

Has it been confirmed if there is a log flume in 2? What about the rapids ride? I think in RCT3 rapids rides the water had an actual affect on people, like when a waterfall hit them. I hope it is that was in Planet Coaster 2. Water rides were rushed in PC1. The water physics look much better in 2, similar to RCT3 but improved. There is a bus transport ride? And a steam train? Is it the same ones from PC1 or different designs?

[@Geekism]

We've seen log flumes. No news on if they've really been improved though

[@StalinBballin]

Switch track is not the same as transfer tracks. Hope people don’t get their hopes up thinking it means that!

[@Geekism]

yup!

[@Geekism]

Nothing wrong with it! lol

[@talismenf2253]

this will be one nice DLC!!!!!!!! If the stations don't work like real stations as in more than just what the coaster holds fills up the station gate wise or loading while unloading, or options for real working lose items cubby animations. I can already see that dual stations and rotaing stations are out of the picture with them still using Planco 1 stations. Heck if the switch tracks are only for swing lunches and not train storage whats the point! Like i said , Just because you put lipstick on a pig do not make it a new game. This will be one big DLC

[@Geekism]

Who knows if we'll see updates to stations. Also, switch tracks aren't for train storage, those are transfer tracks. You may say 'what's the point' but be careful not to assume your opinion is that of others. I want switch tracks to be able to make more modern coasters... I don't care about bringing trains on and off due to demand though, that bores me. Also... this isn't a DLC. It's a seperate game.
