Planet Coaster 10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Playing | Planet Coaster Guide | Planet Coaster Tips

[@madmaneddy]

Sculpting land around a coaster... GENIUS! thanks :)

[@FoxyFernGaming]

You're welcome!

[@u3x590]

The first one is SO helpful, thank you!

[@FoxyFernGaming]

+Martin Stöckl I'm glad to hear it!!

[@thatscringebro385]

sometimes I would hit t on accident and be like: "Why is the camera so slow" so I'd restart the game.

[@twenny6256]

after 4 years of playing the game, I just found this out. I feel stupid for restarting the game atleast 500 times because of this xd

[@SineN0mine3]

Great video thanks!

[@prim16]

I have a question if any of you would be willing to answer -- whenever I build a rollercoaster, I can't seem to get excitement up if I have a decent "fear" rating, but when I make it more exciting, the fear rating escalates through the roof. How do I make a decent ride that keeps fear in moderation, with excitement high?

[@cecilrivera8210]

I have a question now😂😂😂😂 7 yrs. Later..... On my PlayStation 5 having a blast 🎉🎉🎉

[@deanos3620]

Do I need a proper powerful PC to get this and enjoy it or will my laptop be fine?

[@cityuser]

You need a powerful PC. I have a top notch graphics card, and a really good processor but I'm still getting FPS drops. Their optimizing isn't complete, so a laptop wouldn't really handle well.

[@samellis9580]

I play this game on my laptop, and it runs perfectly fine.

[@ziaolol]

yeah but with what kind of park and how many guests / detail? This game is truly next gen and requires a beefy PC.

[@Darkone348]

I mean, it doesn't really look that good. I don't understand the insane requirements. Like I wanna buy it but good god it looks like it runs like complete trash.

[@ΑΡΗΣΚΟΡΝΑΡΑΚΗΣ]

if your machine can run beamNG.drive, then can run this game too

[@jessegreco8855]

And now all my rides will play Queens of the Stone Age.

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Woo!

[@47Mortuus]

Thank you. But shouldn't #1 be "I will need a new computer"?

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Hahaha, touche. XD

[@coasterreece325]

Who’s watching this because it comes out on console in 3 weeks 👉🏿

[@Kanyes2ndcousin]

I just got it on a sale

[@SirIkeMedia]

Thank you! Looking forward to getting this game soon! :D

[@malachiseth9796]

Sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can offer me!

[@benjaminanders6321]

@Malachi Seth instablaster =)

[@jacobbob09]

I was so glad when I found the square paths and queues. I wish there was slightly more of a guide/tutorial on things like that.

[@FoxyFernGaming]

I agree! As amazing as the game is, I will admit that it probably should have undergone a couple more months of beta.

[@gregwolking]

Very well presented. I don't even have the game yet but I clearly understood every point you made. Thanks for the info. I will definitely find it useful once I do get the game.

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Yay thanks for letting me know! I truly hope you enjoy it as much as I have. :)

[@gregwolking]

I'm sure I will. I absolutely loved RCT 1, 2, and 3, and have spent thousands of hours playing them. I miss RCT3 so badly, I just cannot get it to run in a useable fashion on my modern hardware. :(

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Uh oh. If you have issues running RCT3 you're going to have issues with Planet Coaster. But I suppose you can always do the 2 hour thing with Steam and return it if that's the case. I hope you can play it though!

[@gregwolking]

I'm sure I replied to this last night, but it disappeared. Coaster Planet should work just fine. My "issues" with RCT3 on my Core i7 6700K are practical, not functional. The game actually *runs* like butter. The problem is that this ancient game was not designed with modern display modes in mind. At 1080p, the UI is too small to use. At 720p, the mouse pointer is displaced about 1.5" to the right of its actual hotspot on my 43" TV, making it impossible to tell what you're clicking on, and to click on anything within 1.5" of the right edge of the screen. Since it's designed for modern hardware, Planet Coaster shouldn't have any of these issues.

[@FoxyFernGaming]

+Greg Wolking Ohhhh I hear ya. Yea that's the downside of older games. It's nice when companies release remastered versions of things. I was SOOOOOO happy when The Secret of Monkey Island came out on Steam and I could finally play it on a modern computer again. :D

[@VanillaPCStrategy]

Some great tips in here! Learning the details about the advanced X-placement options is good to know, that's a great tool. Also the pulling land up over the coaster, really great idea.

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Thanks! I think I'll be doing a "let's build" video soon actually demonstrating the pulling the land over the coaster. I did a little bit of it in my latest challenge mode video but most if it was done on my stream.

[@AssortedPlay]

Very nice tips. Knew about all of them except for the grid behind each object denoting if it snaps to the grid or can be placed freely. I never paid attention to that and that was most helpful.... THANKS!

[@FoxyFernGaming]

So glad you found something useful!

[@GhostHouston]

This was exactly what I was going to comment, Ty so much for that tip. Can build more freely now.

[@FoxyFernGaming]

+Ghost You're welcome! So glad this video is still helping people out. :)

[@PriscillaEm]

Im assuming this is the pc version where you can put custom music on rides! Wow. I mean. Wow

[@littlemikey46]

Good video, I'm glad I found your channel, subscribed! :D

[@FoxyFernGaming]

+LittleMikey Thank you, yay! I hope you enjoy. :)

[@failtolawl]

I wish you could have custom triggereable speakers.

[@Mdgaming_01-i6l]

failtolawl there are. just go to scenery and search speaker

[@failtolawl]

Michael Van Schie There are custom speakers, but not custom trigger speakers.

[@Mdgaming_01-i6l]

There are 3 speakers, an ambient, a normal speaker and a triggerable speaker. So yeah there is

[@failtolawl]

Michael Van Schie The triggereable speaker is not customizable.

[@tommer9621]

Yes it is...

[@manic_street_starlover]

I just got this game on the steam sale so it's really helpful as I've only ever played in console... This was VERY hard

[@gavinleeburn1]

i got the xbox planet coaster and it’s great : 10 out of 10 : i would really recommend buying it wether not it’s on xbox

[@gavinleeburn1]

it’s great i really love it

[@gavinleeburn1]

hey just before u get it i’ll record a vid for u and show u the graphics and how to play plus i has the xbox 1 series x so the graphics will be better

[@gavinleeburn1]

not really

[@gavinleeburn1]

my cousin has that xbox and it’s literly like the same

[@gavinleeburn1]

the vid is ready

[@creforce]

something I wish I had known before playing the game is HOW to save the coaster whit landscape around it.... there is such a big setback for me in the game because I love to save coasters i like and have done good.... Missing the good old RCT 2....

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Well to be fair you weren't able to do that in the old RCT either. :) What you have to do here is save your entire park if you want to save something you've done to the landscape.

[@TBcinema]

Dang, the "T" and "X" tips are critical! Thanks!

[@somepersonthatlikesrollerc8932]

1:38 Back seat on the flying coaster isn't tilted.

[@zappyzebra3637]

How do I rotate objects smoothly instead of where it only has 4 ways to rotate it. I have trouble placing fences around ponds.

[@FoxyFernGaming]

It's been a minute since I've played, but have you tried pressing "Z"? I THINK that gives you free rotate, but I'm not sure.

[@zappyzebra3637]

@@FoxyFernGaming I figured it out you auctally have to turn off angle snap.

[@richbitch5892]

Can I download you park for inspiration??I love this

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Hey I think most of this stuff I found on the workshop. I can't remember what it all was. :( There wasn't just one single park though, it was several different ones.

[@thesvc2006]

great video!

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Thanks!

Who else is having it take TWO WHOLE HOURS to download this?

[@sunshinesparkle4674]

Thank you very much for these infos ! Just bought it and i feel a bit more confident i´ll do it sort of right ;)

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Yay! I hope I have helped minimize headaches in figuring some things out. :)

[@ArmanNobari]

36 hrs into the game and still learning new things, thanks for this!

[@JasonEllBowling]

Fantastic video. It covers a number of things that I didn't know from my own messing around with the game. Being able to "hide" the footprint of a ride will be especially useful as I work on my parks!

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Yay, glad you found something useful!

[@x3gamerchicx359]

if anyone has problems with lag in the game when you first load the game up, go to graphics settings and turn everything on the lowest settings. that has helped me.

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Thanks for sharing!

[@SilverAura]

4:07 I've got almost 200 hours in this PlanetCoaster and I straight up never knew this. It just... happened sometimes, which was really convenient in many cases but really inconvenient in others. I figured the game was just trying to detect your intentions. I had no idea it was because I was accidentally hitting x while I already had the advanced move tool activated.

[@macmartin86]

Very well explained, thanks a lot! :D

[@VaingloriousVagabond]

I didn't know about the que scenery so when i built new rides people didn't want to go to them and i was losing money on it- with 100% i can now increase the prices a lot and people will come. making heavy profits off rides now instead of losing money. If you don't care about looks you can add about 15x exploding barrels near your ques and that will max the que scenery out (costs about 900$ for all 15x). I would only buy golden treasure chests to increase scenery bonus (different thing) because each gold chest is 10000$ and it only gives around 33% que scenery bonus. I kept losing staff mainly the stall vendors and janitors, because i didn't give them raises after just hiring them but their high workload and that standard pay made them quit quickly.I usually give people 15-25 raise right after hiring them now, because ill quickly be training them anyways. adding toppings and extras to your vendors products makes people want the item more in most cases even though it may not make much sense...(adding chocolate chunks and fudge to strawberry and vanilla ice-creams when there is a chocolate option, etc.) (ice sometimes makes customers happy or unhappy depending on the product) made the difference from getting only 20% busy to around 80-90% busy adding only half of the remaining options Not all stores are cheap on upkeep, some can cost around 1000/ month others can cost around 300/ month- if it is not making money shut it down and fire that staff! now my only problem is when my park gets above 2300+ visitors my game runs around 5-10 fps and always got thieving bandits runnin around my park lol

[@davidcrawford6505]

I wish I knew this game was so ridiculously hard to play. I can't figure it out. $50 wasted.

[@nimascolari1508]

Wow. They've made it so complicated and burdensome. Soon real theme park designers will just use this game as their design platform. What the.....

[@timvankol142]

Thank you! But snotter question, i am trying to make a rollercoaster that shoots you away, i got the coaster done and it is sick, but i am trying to make an alarm sound just before you het shot but when my box is triggered it only makes the alarm go of once, so my question is how do i make my Triggered box play the sound repeaded? (Sorry for the whole story)

[@samuelchungus8288]

Question. I bought the game and it came with all the coasters other than the dlc coasters. I had the game for about a month or 2 and out of nowhere I got back on and some of my coasters were gone like my impulse coaster and some of my others too. What do I do to get them back?

[@holdmykidney]

THANK YOU for explaining the white/grid backgrounds. It's been really confusing me why some objects can't be fully rotated.

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Happy to help! In my second vid I also mention how if you DO want to rotate the wall pieces independent of the grid, you can separate them out as a second building and use X to rotate the piece as an entire building and place it where you want. You won't be able to combine them into one building but you can still select them all and move them together should you need to.

[@taina313]

What do I do? When. I place a path the camera jumps far away immediately even after using T it still does it

After seeing you video I really think there is something missing.. just like a short tutorial.

[@FoxyFernGaming]

You mean in the game, or you think I should make a short tutorial?

[@thecoasterridesbehindthesc7850]

Just like in the game. New players to this genre won't understand how everything's done!

[@FoxyFernGaming]

I agree. Maybe they will release something with the holiday patch.

[@Griffin419]

Thanks for these! Any observations on leveling? I hit three stars on the first scenario park, but I can't go on to the second until I hit level two, and I haven't found any indication of how to do that...

[@FoxyFernGaming]

I've mostly just done challenge mode since that's where the appeal for me is. From my understanding though, there should be an objective on your menu to the upper left where you can check requirements.

How do I get more rides. The XB version only gives my 3 rides??

[@Thoraxe555]

3:20 I've tried soooo many different things to figure out how to get that rotation on all axis, and I cant figure out how.. I toggle between the two different X functions, and both of them only allow rotation on 1 axis.. It's pretty much ANYTHING under the "Building" section. is 360 degree rotation only available for scenery? Because nothing under building seems like it can.. I constantly try to make skinnier walls stand up straight, but they can't rotate that way.

[@FoxyFernGaming]

+Thoraxe555 Yea, unfortunately the building pieces can only be rotated on one plane. Really annoying - part of the reason I quit trying to make stuff. I don't like being limited like that hah.

[@robertshockley3]

My ONLY beef with the game is that there is no scaling of props. Other than that?... well... I would have paid twice as much and still be perfectly happy with the game.

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Omg I KNOW. The scaling!!! Like, even if the art deco pieces were scalable I would be the happiest camper in the world.

[@McCucumber]

Man these people make some nice looking levels. I just like to shove as many coasters and rides in as I can. I make unique buildings but after seeing some of this stuff I'm like a pre schooler compared to these professionals.

[@paper8nintendo]

Any way to place wall diagonally on the same grid? I saw people do it months ago in the beta, but it doesnt seem to work anymore. :(

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Sadly no. :( The only way to do that is to use pieces that are already considered to be diagonal.

[@alexanderj5845]

Thanks 😂🙌🏻 great tips

[@harry5353]

I know this may sound really silly, but I'm unable to make just a flooring area.. I can only find paths but I want a flooring area just like at 0:12 on the video. How do you do this? Thank you

[@FoxyFernGaming]

It's done with a mixture of paths(the red part) and just using pieces in inventive ways - don't always try to think of every object exactly as it's called. You can sink things into the ground, rotate them etc to make them "appear" to be a floor(but it's not something guests can walk on).

[@harry5353]

Ah okay thank you.. So there isnt actually any path on the game you just kinda have to make it yourself? Hmm, I just want a food area with like wood flooring instead if it being just grass lol.

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Sadly yes, maybe they'll implement it later but I'm not sure. I feel the same way.

Chris C you can get some from the workshop and there's a couple already in the game

[@FoxyFernGaming]

Yes! So when you are in your shops building window, on the left hand side there is a "Custom" tab and a "Blueprints" tab. The blueprints are where you can find the pre-made buildings that the developers put into the game. You can also browse the Steam workshop and download anything you like! Only when you do that, downloading blueprints will appear on the bottom left tab labeled "My Blueprints" instead of in the specific category.
