How to save space on Exit Paths in RCT2

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

The idea that guests in RCT are secretly cats makes a hellavah lot of sense now: They can survive a drop from any height. Their claws puncture the hydrogen-filled dingy upon impact. They’re incredibly strong and destructive with random items around your paths and feel Zero remorse for breaking things as they nonchalantly saunter along. They hack up disgusting piles randomly everywhere. They really can’t deal with water. Peeps are cats.

[@pontoon_cat]

One of my favorite feature of RCT: Guests can drop from any height. Meanwhile, a dinghy ride will explode if it gets 1 ft of air.

[@AaronRotenberg]

The rides breaking down at individual stations and needing the mechanic to get access to that station, _and_ having an exception for stations with no exit building, is another "Chris Sawyer thought of everything" moment.

[@dojelnotmyrealname4018]

To be fair, the rides breaking down at individual stations makes sense. If the station brakes fail, they don't fail in all stations at the same time.

[@Torchkas2]

RCT was made to play smoothly on computers at the time. With thousands of entities in some parks this meant that the code of all these individual entities had to be pretty simple. If you look through RCT's code you'll see that it's mostly made up of continuous multiplications and divisions by 2, because these are simple bitwise shifts in assembly. Such a feat being able to make a (somewhat) realistic simulation with these simplistic tools.

[@Ahlnie]

I got confused when you said that the boat hire never breaks down. I tried this a while back with one, but it was the swan boats. Apparently the only boats immune to breakdown are the rowing boats, the canoes, and the water tricycles according to the wiki. The others break down as normal.

[@Aereto]

Yes, this works in RCT3, Notes: Technicians enter from the entrance, so they can still do their job The peeps will go to the entrance sign before entering the queue to ride the ride again (if they want to reride) 1 step (ramp) upwards is not an issue, 2 steps (stairs) upwards will put the peep on the tile under them

[@Zolbat]

I love that after a few years you still have such interesting facts about the game.

[@heythereimdad1309]

This is great. I use the "drop guests from insane heights" methods a lot when I speedrun scenarios as it just simply saves time.

[@stefandebruijn6559]

This is great advice! I am immediately building a lift to max height without an exit path and call it "Free Fall"...

I have, but I thought the warning about the lack of exit path had serious consequences, and I suppose it does because rides can't be fixed if they break.

I use this technique sometimes when I make chairlifts that go from station to station, the second station doesn't need an entrance building, and it can go really high so it's not in the way of other rides

I don't even play RCT anymore, but I watch your videos anyway because you have such a consistent, encouraging, and informative tone. Keep up the good work!

[@jeremyrobideau5241]

The elevator ride just got a whole lot more useable

[@AmityPost]

You can also "manually" repair rides with no exit path by creating a 1x1 path and dropping a mechanic on it. Just make sure you pick up and drop any other mechanics who get the call until the one on the platform does. Also, set the ride to have no inspections. This works great for "auxiliary park exits" where you build land in front of the exit to drop your guests through the terrain and increase admissions.

[@cgfacer3022]

Videos like this are a perfect example of why Marcel is goated

[@mostlymustard1]

@MarcelVos Love the videos! I would also love to see a video on first aid booths if possible, thanks!

[@Robin_Dragunov]

This is the most interesting, funny & entertaining video on your channel.. im happy.. tq ❤️

[@Psychonautical89]

Of all the mods and fixes Open has offered, I'm surprised entrance/exit buildings that can be built on either of the three sides isn't a thing. That would be INCREDIBLE for space saving if you could have a queue line flush with the station without having to break to one side for two tiles to wrap over to the fixed entrance.

[@manyChameleons]

That can be changed in OpenRCT2! I believe it requires the cheats menu, but you can rotate the entrance/exit buildings so guests enter parallel to the station. Check out Deurklink on KZbin, he definitely has guides on it.

[@mandowarrior123]

Though i enjoyed very much working with the limitation, without it is much more aesthetic.

[@C.I...]

I hope one day the buildings can be dispensed with entirely - that peeps will be able to directly enter the station. I want to design a station building without needing 3 tiles width of space minimum. You can make them invisible and turn the sideways already, but it would be nice to have the option.

[@Phoenix-zu6on]

what happens if you use the exit to drop guests onto blocks you otherwise cant drop them on, like ontop of a ride or a station building?

[@jackradzelovage6961]

they land on the ground under it and just wander on it. usually they cant leave the tile

[@Leblribrbrrq]

This way, you can even drop them outside of your park (though, you could always remove path beneath peeps if the scenario allows this).

[@entertain-inator_3000]

The queue line at the end is the longest line I've ever seen. Cody Watkins would be proud of that line.

[@davidromeroblaya7920]

The free falling exit is hilarious. Imagine if this is the most exciting part of the ride.

[@KingChayle87]

I always found it irritating that mechanics can’t enter the ride from the entrance. They already disregard the guests in line when just walking around so there’s really no reason they can’t

[@PinkP0nyPr0ducti0n5]

Interestingly enough, in RCT3, they have to enter through the ride entrance instead of the exit.

[@mandowarrior123]

Its for speed and not to frighten guests irl. It is a justified mechanic.

[@sullgames]

@@mandowarrior123 you're right, the mechanic is justified in entering the ride that way

[@BabusGameRoom]

I never expected to learn something about exit buildings/exit paths...I never would've considered the Mechanic access!

[@rj5529]

I don't remember that hall of mirrors ride at all D:

[@reillywalker195]

It's from the Time Twister expansion for RCT2 as a variant of the Crooked House. That's probably why you don't remember it.

[@DynoDunes]

I used to do similar stuff in RCT3 since the paths are far more expensive. Although using the queue path as an exit is GENIUS! ... barring the mechanic issue, although mechanics use the entrance in future coaster games.

[@oneandonlysound99]

I feel like having wierd exits that just end up with using the queve line to leave fits things like the Crooked House/Hall Of Mirrors type rides (that are basically more like attractions, shame you can't do this with the haunted house though) actually makes sense in some odd way. More so than guests being DNA experiments of human and Navi from Avatar. Also this leaves it where you can use the tower/lift like the people are simply jumping without a parachute and love it.

[@rudozawa]

There is another slight downside to exiting onto a queue - Because guests are leaving out of the queue entrance, they can't immediately queue back up for the ride, like they could if the exit path met up with the start of the queue.

[@TheExileFox]

if it's a multi-station ride that could get around that issue though. (e.g. moebius or dueling coaster )

[@TheMartianGeek]

I usually put the exits right next to the main paths. That way, there are fewer turns for the guests to get lost around.

[@fakenamejones4254]

I don't even have this game to play, but I love your videos!

open RCT2 got an upgrade. I'm loving it! finally, dual purpose paths!!! (well, that's what I see from gameplay) and an increase in the amount of cars per ride up to 50+ cars/vehicles! 😵 (says the mad sod who just laid out a really short gokart track with 50 cars 😈) and a solution to splash boats massive queues! 😁 there's been an absolute ton of updates.

[@JBond4334]

You touched on this with the ATM video I believe, but how do guests decide where to go? Which attraction to head for, directions on the path to take, whether to ride a roller coaster versus a flat ride, etc.? Why do they sometimes seem to go in circles on wide paths?

[@sie85]

beste nederlands-engels accent op heel YT, leuke videos!

[@N0Fumar]

Oo I had an idea for a video. How does the "peeps" audio voices work? At what point do they start saying certain lines? What constitutes someone laughing after getting off a ride? What are all the dialogues they can say?

[@trevorharris9852]

I love that the sick guy drops slower than the rest...

[@holidaytracker]

Another thing you can do in Open RCT2 is use the Tile Inspector to rotate the entrances and exits to save some space in tricky situations. I have noticed a slight issue with the mechanics on one ride but other than that it is a great trick

[@SamsonSilvo]

New guest torture idea: Build an elevator that goes to the game's max height and then have the exit on the upper platform drop guests into a single water tile on ground level...

[@TheExileFox]

And. if you have construction rights, drop them technically outside the park too :D

[@koffeinx6738]

Maybe a kind of tube like in Futurama where the guests get sucked through or something instead of the fall would be cool, it also would explain why they're falling so slow

[@chandir7752]

you can use this for any coaster, you just need to replace the queuetile in front of the exit with a normal path and place the engineer who wants to fix it on that path. But that's an unnecessary amount of micromanaging in most situations I guess.

[@Extramrdo]

When you pick an engineer up, they forget what they want to fix and wait to be assigned the ride. There's a chance the ride is thus assigned to a different engi. Might need to keep moving 'em over.

I don't think you need to put a wall up in front of the exit first. Just build the path using the arrow method and it will continue straight. I forgot what it's called but it the build method where you just place the initial path and then click the yellow arrows in the build menu to build in that direction.

[@MarcelVos]

That doesn't work for me. You could first build the path and the exit building afterwards though.

[@aurastrike]

it will still connect to the exit station

[@GrumpDog]

Wait.. At 2:53 which is it then? Will mechanics enter through the entrance building, or won't they? If they do, then there's no downside to not having an exit path, but earlier you said they wouldn't.. soo?

that's only the case for multi-station rides where that station does not have an exit building; if there is an exit building and it is blocked then the mechanic will not be able to enter it.
