How to be GOOD at Planet Coaster

[@iammaybeasliceofpie4674]

Moomin if you’re “average” at this game then I’m the queen of England. This is a darn gorgeous build, and you explained everything wonderfully! Great video, as always!

[@MoominLittlesocks]

Thanks so much Pie!

[@LustraGaming]

I agree, this is lovely.

[@learei4642]

You mean If he’s average then you’re a trash can?

[@tukezdi]

if hes considered average then i would be far far worse than a player considered a noob

[@brandon3671]

Are you the queen of England ?

[@unstop1417]

Honestly I feel like the biggest thing you need to be 'good' at PlanCo is patience. I have never been able to finish a realistic park because I just don't have the patience to complete tedious placement of scenery objects. I know I am able to and have made some relatively good looking stuff but can never find the motivation to do scenery for more than an hour at a time.

[@dustmybroom288]

Same here. Planet Coaster is all about scenery and I am too lazy for that

[@Capybaraconq]

@@dustmybroom288 same lol

[@kunstderfugue]

Yeah I sunscribe to a bunch of scenery on Steam Workshop. I cant be arsed to make my own but I want a beautiful park and theres great ones there. Ultimately I enjoy the management part the most. The only thing I hate is having to manually replace broken benches and bins. I dont know why I cant have a staff member do it or something

[@victimandvillan]

Finally decided to get Planet Coaster. I wanted to see how it works so came here and this was the first video I've watched. Amazed at how much custom detail can be put into the parks and even more amazed how well you implement them. Beautiful build and as a complete newbie it was very well described. The icing on the cake for me though "Well firstly, try not to shout!" That had me in stitches and hitting subscribe shortly afterwards.

[@MoominLittlesocks]

Thank you so much!! Welcome to the madness!

[@DrMcMoist]

I bought it on Saturday and this was the first video I watched while it was downloading. Very informative.

[@MandyvdW]

Oh my God! This is freakin’ amazing! Just started with this game and can’t imagine i’m going to be able building like this! Loved every single part of it!

[@GameSimu]

Same here ^^

[@chriskujawski13]

I bought this game over a year ago, played it for about an hour and set it down. This video has helped me finally understand how to approach things in game. In the last week I've sunk over 10 hours in and am finally happy I'm able to feel like I'm getting value from the game.

[@BaconDrive]

After watching this I feel motivated to start everything over from scratch in my game. This is just lovely

[@flatridefanatic]

Theres never been a video that has inspired me to play planet coaster before, but you sir have done it! Great job on this, i love some of the smaller details like the ropes up on the roof of the queue cover.

[@TommyT067]

Right?

[@ixion025]

The fact you can’t adjust the size of barrier drive me crazy

[@maxhunke5166]

Something I struggle with not in this game but with basically just life to is trying to do much, while more knowing how to do anything. Your advice on starting small in planet coaster helped me a lot here so thank you.

[@coasterkraken6088]

This is all so true! I’m sending this video to my friend who was starting off on Planco and had trouble working on her first park. I told her pretty much all of this and it’s so validating to hear it from someone else

[@Evnostic]

I came to learn how i am supposed to have money but came back knowing how to make the most aesthetically pleasing park.

[@lynic-0091]

I could watch you build all day with your calm vibe and music. Really inspiring, and thats coming from someone who struggles to get into building games :)

[@jthebarista]

Great video! You should expand on this small park. Showing us how to take something that might be considered 'basic' and turning it into something great.

[@shuichid8181]

Playing that game for 4 years now (started when i was 10) and i cant even build a shop. I watched so many Videos and stuff but i think this one was actually helpful. Thank you

[@Av-vs1yh]

Ive carried over minecraft building advice to this game as well. The last little bits of details can really make the build feel lived in, like the lighting and plants.

[@EldoSeven]

Just learned the most important rule I needed to know right now : hide everything you can from the PlanCo stuff. Simple, but soooo precious to remember. Thank you

[@BKnight-sx5pc]

Planet Coaster has been in my library for over a year now. I want to be creative so bought all the dlcs except ghost buster. But I can’t create anything beautiful and like you said, I was thinking too much to build like a big park even though I don’t even know quite well. But today, I decided to try it again and I searched up for a video. I’m really glad to see you video at the top. Keep up the good work❤

[@Honethite]

Mind blown, haha. Played this game for over 25 hours and I had no idea how deep the customization was, you really are free to do what you want.

[@Sparkster217]

Just started playing after buying it a month ago and holy cow does this video inspire me a lot! Thanks so much for this! 💖

[@chrispy9871]

Moomin, you are definitely one of my favorite to watch. I like your funny commentary, how you explain what you're doing and what pieces you're using it puts the whole building process into perspective and makes building of my own a little less daunting

[@dannyeygelshoven6015]

Haven't played planco in such a long time, mostly due to time shortage and also because of "no inspiration". YT put this in my suggestions today and thank the lord i clicked it. I feel inspired again to start up the game as soon as i can. Count me in as a new subscriber. Thanks Moomin!

[@cmhammo2025]

it been awhile since i played pc and whenever i come back im always gently reminded and surprised at how wonderful the soundtrack is

[@tg4589]

I’ve been playing this game for two weeks or so. You just expanded my thought process so much. Great video.

[@ppdacat9845]

This video helped so much on my queue lines I’ve always had good scenery ideas but never been able to implement them to my work THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@FluffyChops]

Your wisdom has been praised with this great build, I now have a greater understanding of the way i see objects to get more out of the box like what shows really helps a build. I sure will be using every bit of detail you have provided to help myself and if i ever can, i will pass this info down to others with full credit that i got this info from you. Thanks a bunch, much love to you mate keep up the great content.

[@shadeyshagonzalez]

1:43 you are my inspiration 😂

[@SimplySammyK]

Ngl this is such an important video for beginner players. scenery and queue design can be so intimidating but its important to remember you can be creative with ANYTHING! Encouraging new players to use roofs and doors for custom floors, barriers, fences etc. I wouldn't have though to explore like that if I was new. I still am a newbie but I've made so many custom building I am happy with in my 2 years of owning this game. I wanted to make a mega park, I had my inspiration but I lack the relevant experience when it comes to working with terrain and bringing my ideas to life.

[@gb9727]

Here's an idea: take breaks while you're building something in game, maybe after a phase of building it

[@BaconHairFish]

I remember longing for planet coaster when it came out. I went crazy when console edition came out. Now I have it on PS5, and finally, after 6 years, it’s finally my turn.

[@kalekaela]

This is insane and super inspiring. I'm a die hard RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 fan, and maybe I'm just set in my ways from playing that game for so long. Thank you for this video! Now I'm inclined to open this game again, and build food or drink stalls next to every ride like this.

[@beans_n_kal]

i laughed so hard when you said "cover up that ghastly planco stuff"

[@stephenmartinez96]

i’ve really been wanting to get back into planet coaster, i stopped playing cus i feel like i’m not really succeeding in it when i play the story mode, but i’m glad i chose this video & looked how the little details can make it so much more than what it is, im gonna redownload it & back into it, thank you very much🙏🏻

[@ZacksHomeStudio]

With PC2 out now I was looking for some fresh inspiration and advice on the game. Thank you for making this awesome video! I know its old, but the info is still very relevant

[@lynareantoinette]

This was amazing!!! My children purchased PC for me. I did one large park. It turned out great!! As a perfectionist I spent hours learning all I could about this game. Unfortunately it was so labor intensive it has been over a year I just stay away!!! I do love your videos!!!

[@MoominLittlesocks]

Thanks so much! You should get back into it. Nothing wrong with putting hours into something you love!

[@yuiyui6159]

Wow, this is great. Was really depressed at my art skills and creativity, but this simplification of thought process and "how to get there" has me encouraged to try again.

[@WaldemirNetto94]

I never thought of building the park parts like that, I always went for a master plan, than for small parts! I really loved your ideas and construction possibilities! ❤️❤️❤️

[@daveengland8931]

ive gotta admit ... i rarely sit here engrossed in a video like this, but i just did so lol Congrats moomin, and wonderful job ! a shame im 2 years late.

[@spinhero]

Wow this was both inspiring and overwhelming haha so much details packed in this “small” area. Very good job!

Wow man. This is actually helping me for my themed park project. I started following along and then started doing my own thing and I did struggle a bit but i never would have gotten so far without this video. I'm about to start the food shop area now.

[@girinathprthi]

amazing. I played planet coaster a lot but never expected this level of art can be created so easily. nice video.

[@JohnsGoated]

earned a subscriber. This was probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in a video game

[@sheevpalpatine1105]

thank you for this detailed explanation, so far i have only found park management guides when i looked for starter tutorials while im mostly only interested in the creative/sandbox aspect of the game ive just started recently when PlanCo was on 90% sale and was quickly overwhelmed but i feel confident giving it another try :) one thing i struggle the most with is getting a proper entrance and the immediate area after that because i dont like how the road is just a straight line coming out of a mountain and if the entrance doesnt feel right I dont feel great going foward from there

[@MoominLittlesocks]

If you're on PC, I highly recommend using the scenario editor to move the spawn point and get rid of that horrible hole in the terrain! Allows for much more flexibility in park layout.

[@danny95621]

Played the game for 2 years now but after seeing this I got so much more inspiration for detailing. You earned a new subscriber!

[@kempy2]

when I'm not creating a theme park in PLC I'm making a movie or a cattie in CS. when I'm not doing that I'm playing other games for inspiration for games to make. I'm always making stuff always have been. i also love to learn music on my guitar or im watching a movie or youtube. and thats just in my spear time.

Your vid just got recommended to me cause I am just starting to mess around in Planet Coaster. My brain HURTS after seeing how dope you made that simple thing.

I play Planet Zoo, my friend plays Planet Coaster. He sent me this video to help me learn how to decorate in PZ lol. Great advice! Thanks for the video :)

[@revolutionine]

this is IMPRESSIVE. idk how people can be this creative.

[@itsgoubie]

The other day i was watching a landscape architect talk about his sketching process. He says he prefers to sketch on small papers exactly because it gives him some sort of confinement/limit

[@MoominLittlesocks]

That's very interesting!

[@MrMatiashink]

This just popped up at my yt, and for realism i have one big tip for you: 4m walls are almost always too big for realistic buildings, especially in themeparks. Love this game

[@gozzyboy1989]

Wow never knew you could do so much detail, nice job

[@Astranamic]

Bro, I was so stuck and frustrated and you just blew me away with this. This is insane talent for this game. Thanks for the inspiration fellow Imagineer!!

[@viniciusrecife9954]

i have to say, im just know starting to get into planco and i was looking at dome videos that have a little bit of guidance and omg, you did just that, im amazed how creative we can get with the game, and thank you fot give me my inspiration to start small and grow into a bigger park. definitely subscribing, and i really hope you expand the little example into an actual park of yours

[@mstaniszewski3469]

When you said that you needed inspiration, I got the inspiration that moment😊

[@noosebrother]

the 'start small" thing is pretty much spot on. i usually give up during building of the entrance building. i fight the ui, fight the horrible placement of stuff, fight the enormous choice of stuff i can't put down.. it's all a bit too much so i end up with parks that look like how your first example look. i think i will just surrender to the fact i am a horrible diorama builder.

[@MoominLittlesocks]

Haha! Nothing wrong with building dioramas. I love packing a huge amount of detail into a small space!

[@hauntedshadowslegacy2826]

Bit of advice for entrance buildings: They don't have to wrap around the entrance entirely; you can get away with having the building on one side (I tend to include the information kiosk inside) and a decorative fountain or sculpture on the other side. If you do choose to arch the building over the entrance, ensure the path underneath is well lit. The entrance should echo the core theme of the entire park. If accuracy with placement is a struggle for you, I recommend using the 'snap to position' option to align free-place objects with grid-place objects. From there, you can select the free-place objects (hold shift while clicking) and press 'x' to move the pieces with advanced move controls.

[@coach.pattie]

my mind was blown when he used the shapes to size the rope spacing. i never knew that's what they were for hahaha

Dude, you are on point. Give yourself some credit. Great stuff. Very creative. Just gonna open the ole mind up eh? Love it man. Very inspirational if I do say so myself.

wow... I just got this game and I didnt even realise you could do any of this stuff. Like my park looks ok but now I can make it look incredible.

[@MrSkippingpig]

It's a real shame that this game is so unnecessarily fiddly. Easy doesn't have to be simple, which is mantra the devs should be locked in a room and forced to chant ad nuasuem. Every time I'm inspired to fire the game up I find myself closing it back down pretty quickly, as a direct result of the crappy UI and design choices.

[@AlecTrups]

I'm in that boat right now. Coming from RCT 1 & 2, I keep getting turned off by the path tool in PC and the confusing menus. And while I'm trying to figure out why my paths aren't connecting my park goes bankrupt

[@elementalgolem5498]

Exactly, what got me reinterested in planco is enjoying the same type of "grind" I hated in planco while playing prehistoric kingdom, but unfortunately the love for detailing in prehistoric kingdom came from a very well designed experience, and didn't transfer to planco once I actually booted it up
