#6 -Station Configuration -Planet Coaster Tutorial - Realistic Looking Parks in Planet Coaster

#planetcoaster #toptips #realistic #themepark
In this episode we look into your rollercoaster station configuration! But.. NOT how you theme or build a station building (as this is up to your imagination, lol)
So, we look at:
Break - Station - Lift order
Staff Positions
Control Booth
Emergencies
Detailing
(PRO) Thememakers Toolkit
This ended up being a combined "how to" video too. It felt like I should be showing you how to do things rather than just telling you about them....
The series is split into 2 difficulty levels: BASIC and PRO. The idea is that if you are a new player or a console player without access to Theme Maker's Toolkit items then you can still create realistic parks but the Pro's amongst us can sink their teeth into the Pro level and really put their PC's to the test!
Please consider subscribing if you also like to play Tycoon, City Builders and Simulation Games. There's a lot more videos coming and I'd love to have you come along with me!

Switch Tracks?

[@Hybridsteel]

i just brought this game. i built a small park to start with built entrance a few rides and a rollercoaster now im watching ur videos to sort of get a better gist of making things look better thank you.

[@PatchGuilf]

Placing cable and stuff in the void space under a coaster track is a wild level of details you'd never see 😅

[@TriplePinesStudios]

I love your videos! I’ve been renovating my existing parks while watching your videos :)

[@Nerdchacho]

Awesome!! The big question though - what did you end up changing as a result? :)

[@TriplePinesStudios]

@@Nerdchacho well I’m working on a RMC and my station in much taller so I’ve put a full maintenance shed type place underneath the station it’s self and I made my control both a bit larger:) I my record a short video and tag you in it if I can :) I also post a lot on the planet coaster nation page on Facebook. I’m the one who posts about triple Pines resorts LOL

[@Baneif]

Cool stuff ! Extremely realistic 👍

[@CoasterMonkeyStudios]

thats awesome! a few things to think about after watchin that one! AWESOME!

[@raspberrypiploy771]

I have no idea where to begin lol but the videos are. brilliant thank you

[@Nerdchacho]

Well, start at the beginning and go from there.. as cliche as that sounds!

[@dirtylaundry08]

In the planconation group on fb see you post all the time, you do good work and good tutorials

[@Nerdchacho]

By far the best group I'm a member of too :)

[@coasterking0]

"Windows as walls" lol my favorite quote by Nerdchaco

[@Nerdchacho]

Windooooooooooooooooooooows as waaaaaallls..... (as walls).... Where the sweat.. yeah, you get the rest.. :D

[@Thomas-N-n4m]

Brilliant I got animated figure from the workshop to use so that you don’t have use the western style men in your station

[@PatchGuilf]

Is all the extra stuff found via Steam Workshop? It then lives in the DLC panel in one big lump or will it show under Blueprints? (New to the game so apologies for basic question!)

[@itsmemes9466]

AWESOME!!!!!!

[@Tiglicka666]

helo! i was wondering... do you have any workshop colections on steam? would love to have all toolmaker stuff you have. also you are on another level with details! good work!

[@Nerdchacho]

Hey! Funny you ask... One of the Eps of the Top Tips series is "Essential TMTK Items" that contains a park file with my most frequently used items. It isn't a collection because it is too big - so you just download the park file and the TMTK items will download for you..

[@ajbeckett-longstaff9693]

How do you get the items from the theme makers tool kit please ? When I click on mine there's nothing there .

[@Nerdchacho]

you have to download them from the Steam Workshop first.....

[@CrzBonKerz21]

Sorry if I missed something somewhere.. but is there a workshop kit that includes all these realistic signs?

[@Nerdchacho]

Sort of, yes... have a look at, I think, Ep 15 or 16 - there is a park file that contains my most used items for you to download :)

[@tommyp6627]

Love this series has helped me so much to become a better builder I do have a question. Though I have a launch coaster using the copperhead strike coaster and I can’t seem to get 2 trains with block breaks only if I make the station big enough Iv made the block section longer than the trains and also set it to block section from standard any ideas?

[@Nerdchacho]

Thanks for coming along!! Have you checked the coaster type setting in the coaster options menu? There is usually a drop down list (where you choose how many trains you want) that allows you to switch between "standard" "Blocked" and "lapped". If it is "blocked" then it should allow you to have multiple trains and a smaller station :)

[@tommyp6627]

@@Nerdchacho yeah tried that I dunno why it’s not letting me works fine with other coasters

[@weweweqeqeqe3240]

i want to see how you add roof and wall , supporter to the station . where can i find it

[@Nerdchacho]

I haven't done one on basic controls of the game - but you'd usually find me using the Advanced Move Tool for an item that isn't on the grid (On PC, you press X on the keyboard)... You then just need to choose what items you want to use to build your walls and roof. There's a Building 101 tutorial that I did that gives you a little insight into this..

[@weweweqeqeqe3240]

@@Nerdchacho thank you so much

[@totte1015]

At 3:00 how the fuck do you align it with the station!?!

[@Nerdchacho]

Click on the coaster to load the coaster screen. There is a button there called "Build on station grid"...

[@giooliodraws]

Simple: think of how it actually works, exits and so on. Pro: Just a bunch of TMT bro.
