I finally figured out why planet coaster has incredibly rough coasters! At the beginning of each track piece there is a very small straight section, then after that the bending/ banking starts. In another coaster building game, theme park tycoon 2 on Roblox, they alleviate this issue by making the track move right from the start, therefore making a smooth coaster is easier!

[@CorvusCoasters]

It's annoying, hopefully solved in PlanCo 2 :)

[@TopThrillsTimothy]

PlanCo is 100000x better than tpt2. it just needs practice

[@noyesnohaha]

@@CorvusCoastersplan2 isnt confiemed tho

[@RonaldTrumpOfficial]

@@TopThrillsTimothyTheme park tycoon 2 has potential, it’s just Roblox and the dev that limits it, it would be better with more features.

[@TopThrillsTimothy]

@@RonaldTrumpOfficial No it doesnt have potential. Making it on roblox the devs knew there are servere restrictions

Great video. I normally smooth out using 3 pieces at a time but I definitely need to give the auto complete method a try. Thanks for this!

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks for the support as always :)

[@RayCanino]

Yeah ive used it on a few of my coasters. It helps out a lot.

[@brandonflorio9799]

I use a mix of the autocomplete and the 4 meter method.

[@YellowMonke]

I normally do 2 or 3 pieces and in places that really need it i use the auto complete

[@coasterboss1654]

Just tried this out. I’ve always heard of the 4 meter technique but never really understood how to do it. Now THIS really helped me out. I’ll be spending some time reprofiling some of my coasters in planet coaster.

[@CorvusCoasters]

So glad it helped, thanks 👍👍

[@douglaspitcher3560]

I made a MACK Coaster using five meter pieces. It was my first time making “short pieces” in a coaster as well. But this tutorial helped me so much! Thank you!

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks so much for watching:)

[@TalonKOfficial]

This video was more informal and helpful than most Planco videos out there. Terrific video you made! Keep up the good work!

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks so much, glad it helped :)

[@jordanwolfson8378]

Ok so, I play PlanCo on PC and have downloaded mods that make smoothing on PC easier (you guys on console have it a lot easier when it comes to the 4m method without mods). I've gotten very good at building 4m coasters now, however this is the first time I've learned of the auto-complete trick...and now that I've learned it I'm like a kid in a candy store going back and fixing my rides. It's so genius too, to use only two track sections for simpler inversions that are small or quick, and then use more track sections for more complex, bigger ones. Thank you so much for this video! You gained a sub!

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks so much for watching, I'm so glad it helped you :)

I woke up this morning and thought, “I hope Corvus uploads today” Not dissapointed! Awesome video!

I’ve always wondered how you built your coasters! I’m gonna try this for my next creation! Thanks!

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks so much for watching :)

[@kep_1969]

Finally. Thought I was the only one but have used this method for a very long time and Coasters are not my forte nor do I really love building them but this is the best method. I take 3 sections of 4M track and delete then auto complete through the entire track. Then I smooth as needed. Well done tutorial.

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thank you :)

[@Theme_parchive]

This method actually helped my Premier Spaghetti bowl replica not look like an earthquake! Thanks!

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks, glad it helped :)

[@planetsmoothcoaster]

Yep! After creating a section of a layout, delete a few pieces then autocomplete, along with any manipulation that needs to be done. That's the technique I've been using for a long time now, though on PC. "This is the way"

[@CorvusCoasters]

This is the way haha. Thanks for watching:)

[@sparkyUK]

You make me want to play this game again! Love your work.

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thats great, thanks so much :)

[@sandboxbuilder]

Very helpful tips! Thank you for that!

[@CorvusCoasters]

[@CoasterCreationTV]

Great video! I'll have to try this autocomplete method out. Oh and another bonus about autocompleting some 4 meter track sections for you console players is that it brings down the oswald counter

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks so much for watching :)

[@Pigaymer]

very good tutorial, corvus. Its helping me to create my coaster to the competition =D

[@CorvusCoasters]

That's great:)

[@YannBK1608]

The 4m method changed the way I made coasters back in March when I started making Parc Ciel Bleu. However, one thing I didn’t take into account was the fact that you have to somehow overbank the turns, otherwise they might feel too flat. That’s a mistake I made with Ibex and The Convergence, but fortunately I learned from my mistakes and now I’m extremely with my new coasters !

[@soosajet]

I didn’t know you 4m smoothed

@@YannBK1608 he seems like a veteran who doesn’t want to change to new ways. Although I find that you only need to use it if you are trying to make realistic coasters

Always been confused how the 4 meter method works, tried building a similar zero g roll kind of inversion and its so much smoother than doing it piece by piece. Absolutely fantastic tutorial

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks you so much, glad it helped :)

[@thedude4063]

Ive used the auto complete method in a different game back in 2019. I used to use it in Theme Park Tycoon 2 on Roblox before smoothing was added to the game

[@CorvusCoasters]

It's a good method :)

[@astro_king8086]

Good tutorial 👌🏼👌🏼im using the 4m method and autocomplete 👍🏼

[@CorvusCoasters]

Nice, thank you :)

[@dademurphy1732]

Awesome video again mate. I use the same method but slightly different. I select the track piece, the one before and the one after, then smooth all 3 times, go one way round the coaster, then the backwards, any sections that are still funky I use the autocomplete method. Although I'd only autocomplete when your 100% on your layout as editing after using autocomplete is a nightmare compared to 4m sections

[@CorvusCoasters]

That's great, thank you very much for watching:)

[@soosajet]

I find smoothing 3 track pieces at a time and then smoothing the next section from the 2nd of the 3. So it’s like 🟢🟢🟢🔴🔴 then 🔴🟢🟢🟢🔴 then 🔴🔴🟢🟢🟢 I don’t know if that’s complete waffle but I find that really helps

[@CorvusCoasters]

I understand haha. We will have our own methods, thanks for watching:)

Yeah I do that method too

[@coastercreations6126]

Awesome tutorial, I agree with everything you said

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks so much :)

[@ScarletFury]

This will really help me out! Thanks! Question though, for those of us who prefer to work in Imperial units, what's the length of a track section you'd recommend? 13.12 feet? Also, are there any differences between doing this on PC and whatever gaming system you're using here?

[@nairsheasterling9457]

I use the same method, but can vary my track lengths based on element size, etc. Also, max out your banking offset, and minimize it for the tops of airtime hills. It makes a difference.

[@CorvusCoasters]

It's the same on pc but I don't know the imperial so I'd just convert it. Thanks for watching:)

[@tallguygaming409]

Wow this is a great idea just in time for me to build a roller coaster at sernity now. Do you smooth after after you auto complete?

[@CorvusCoasters]

No I keep the auto complete because it takes the same shape and the smoothed 4m track pieces that were there before. Thanks for the support :)

[@deathfearsnone]

Very detailed

[@CorvusCoasters]

[@athenasteal256]

Wow this helped a lot, i just recently started planet coaster and all my roller coasters were super janky. Awesome tutorial man.

[@angryemerald7819]

Lovely video as always! The 4m method (with 6 to 8 passes) is always what I have and will use as it is the best that we can do on console! Can I ask though why do you not use banking offset just wondering?

[@CorvusCoasters]

Never really experimented with it that much, I need to look more into it and why to use it :)

@@CorvusCoasters Could you compare coasters mainly, because it would be awesome to see like smoothing and theming from your first to most recent park, also park layout and theming. Ty.

Yesterday I was experimenting and created a coaster so smooth, and yes I am a console player. I think you could almost compare it to some PC players. Not theme park Wirral, mistize level, But still really smooth. Edit: I also recommend using banking offset

Nice. Us console players can be just as good :)

[@bluerazzberryy]

Great vid showing how to 4m! sucks how hard it is to get planco rides to be smooth. Either have to spend hours 1m on pc, or a ton of autocompleting on console with the 4m method.

[@CorvusCoasters]

Yeah there are so many ways to do it. Thanks for watching :)

[@StalinBballin]

I bought this game day one, and never could figure out how to make my inversions silky smooth, and I tried damn hard. Went back to edit a roll on my S.L.V and this method works brilliantly. Great video. Edit: I do always apply the banking offset to 1.

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks so much, really glad it helped :)

[@michaelbuncy441]

Haven't had a problem with smoothness yet building my first roller coaster, my biggest issue is maintaining speed. I'm trying to recreate Ride Of Steel from Darien Lake. The real coaster has a chain lift of 208 feet and the drop is about 68 degrees hitting a top speed of 73 mph before going into a left hand 90 degree turn and then up a 160 foot camel hump and then into a 540 degree helix. In the ride camera of the actual coaster it never loses speed. In my recreation I can't get mine to go up thr camel hump without slowing down to 30mph. I'm kinda stumped

[@CorvusCoasters]

You can change the friction and lift hill speeds in the game to make your coaster faster but it's normally pretty accurate, you could always ask for help in my discord server also :)

[@michaelbuncy441]

@CorvusCoasters I'll have to try that out when I get home from work. I can't help but laugh at my first attempt though, apparently my guests were terrified of everything but the first hill drop and my G's were way over 5 😂 at one point it hit 9.72
