I checked the soft guest cap using a memory scanner, and Heide-Park seems to indeed have an actual soft guest cap of 2088 as you calculated. I think the reason Heide-Park works well in this challenge is that guests don't run out of money as fast as the other parks. The other two real parks start out with a lot of guests complaining about low cash, but Heide-Park has considerably fewer. The guests all start out with 70-100 euros and the park entrances all cost 50 euros. All the rides are free in each scenario, so guests have 20-50 euros to spend on food, drinks, umbrellas, and souvenirs. Heide-Park has much fewer stalls and information kiosks, so I suspect that guests are more likely to waste their money in the other parks by buying things while their condition bars are relatively high, causing them to run out of money much sooner. Whereas in Heide-Park, they're more likely to gain the full benefit of their purchases and stay in the park considerably longer, allowing the guest generation to outpace guest depletion.

This is by far the most plausible explanation I've seen so far. Also, just like you I was starting to have doubts about the soft guest cap I got from the plugin that tells you it, so I manually calculated it just to be sure.

@GamePlague2 жыл бұрын
I can imagine that starting off so close to the cap means you have an army of guests who mostly aren't ready to leave yet, meaning you get some months where the guest generation easily outpaces the loss. That combined with a slightly superior park design could be all it takes to make the difference.

Alton Towers also has all rides set to free but has a far worse initial layout with long stretches of empty path making guests get bored

Things that make it resistant to drops or keep guests from leaving without making them too unhappy?

I haven’t had the chance to look into it today to see if it is actually the case for Heide Park, but here’s an explanation of the spawn distance theory: - The soft guest cap affects the spawn rate. - There is a variable amount of lag between guests getting spawned and entering the park. - If there is a short distance between the spawn and the entrance, the soft guest cap will be harder. - If there is a long distance, then once the soft guest cap has been reached, there will still be a lot of guests who have spawned walking into the park, so the peak number of guests will be higher. Again, I am not sure if this is what is happening here, but it would be cool to see it tested using the scenario builder or something. Average peak above the soft guest cap vs length of path between spawn and entrance.

Have you considered the impact of monthly awards? I believe Heide Park is, by default, so well-designed that it is initially eligible for at least a few of these. Each one simultaneously active causes the guest generation to rise x1.25 (multiplicative) per positive award, up to a theoretical maximum of x2.44 if four different positive awards are attained in the last 4 months. This is seldom even if you are eligible for every single positive award just because of the odds that the game checks for a negative award sometime in the last 4 months, but I frequently see 2 or 3 awards active at a time on my longer-term park builds, where I can set my own goals to get as many awards as possible at once (i.e. Dazzling Colors, Best Staff, Best Toilets, and Best Gentle Rides simultaneously). This leaves us with a question: what awards is Heide eligible for by default? Without checking, I imagine it must have 10 or more gentle rides, so Best Gentle Rides? Safest Park? Best Value Award?
@MarcelVos2 жыл бұрын
That's not a bad hypothesis, but I'm afraid it's probably not true. I just ran the three parks a few times and got a similar amount of awards in all three, usually 1 or 2 in the first 1.5 years. So it's true that you are eligible for a wide variety of awards which will get you some of them, but that's not what differentiates Heide Park from the others.

Only halfway the playthrough I figured I was making enough money to excavate it all the way down to -9 meters. These kinds of videos go through many different stages sometimes.

I investigated Six Flags Great Adventure and I found that it *theoretically* should be possible, but a major hindrance is an oversight where one of the janitors' patrol areas are separated by paths they can't walk on, meaning they're stuck in one corner while vomit and litter pile up where they cannot access. There are no stalls in that area and the only ride is a pirate ship, so litter drops and vomit only build up slowly over time, but it's near impossible to get the rating back above 850 once there's enough of it.

I had a quick look over the maps and my take on them is that hyde park has a monorail near the entrance, and ive always found monorails and other transport rides to really mess with the guests pathing, so maybe guests that are "planning to leave" hitch a ride on the monorail and then get lost, or the monorail in general may be trapping guests very effectively in the park. furthermore i find that some of the parks have really 'bad' pathways which make the guests walk aimlessly for a really long time and when combined with the monorails messing with things so it makes guests leave less because you have a bunch of semi trapped guests. i also think that this is the reason for sometimes the guest count not dropping when your park rating has tanked due to the vandalism and vomit giving the handymen more time to clean stuff up

This drops your park rating so hard, you will never beat it.

I know of one that's probably possible with the new save format, but I'll keep it to myself for now in case I want to make it into a video.

@@stokkie01 I don't mean initially. Just at some point. If you're lucky with how clean your park stays you can probably push to the goal whilst keeping the rating high enough. Or some goals don't have a rating requirement right?

All those resets seem miserable, but as you said, it was quite exciting by the end of it. So you did complete an objective without doing anything: You had fun. :D

no fun allowed in Marcel's parks, just various kinds of physical and most of all: mental torture

So that means that Luigi CAN beat this game.

Take the number of wins/attempts as the probability of winning the do nothing challenge as a starting point. And then start doing 1 thing, and record the attempts. I would start by adding 1 handyman, then figure out the wins/attempts ratio. Then take away one handyman... Then add one ride... Then add one ad campaign etc.... It would be boring because you'd want to do hundreds of attempts even if you win more than once. Do this with other parks, it would be fascinating to craft a database to try and figure out what the best "minimal effort" strategies are.

don't know why i didn't think of this before, but remember your video when you explained the "harder guest generation" and how that option is actually easier sometimes? maybe it could be that heide park has harder guest generation enabled and because of that you were able to go that far above the soft guest gap

You mention how the other parks are impossible but I still think it'd be a fun series if you figured out the minimum number of clicks to beat a given park, like the Super Mario 64 A button challenge but for RCT.

Since the guests generate at the edge of the world, I think Heide Park gets more guests because the path from the edge of the world to the entrance of the park is quite long.

This serves also as a great example of how humans will invest heavily into things that are purely random and still think they might just win at some point.
