🚧 The Ultimate Path and Plaza Tutorial | Planet Coaster 2

[@gamingwithdodge154]

i was overwhelmed with the new pathing, and i came to youtube trying to find a video just like this video. and no one has anything like this out. it helped alot! thank you! could you do another one on pools/slides/lazy rivers?

[@sticcyniccy9509]

i get so overwhelmed when starting a new park i always end up boxing myself in with coasters and it becomes a mess

[@LeafProductions]

Layout tutorial soon? 👁️🫦👁️

[@sticcyniccy9509]

@ please. the learning curve from having a spaced out park with blueprint buildings to a custom made dreampark is very extreme. Knowing how to make buildings and rides maybe too difficult for a tutorial, but showing how to blend blueprints into the rest of a park would be better.

[@TheLarknessMonster]

I usually start with a fairly good sized plaza with a building in the center that goes about 1/4th-1/3rd out from entrance (this is your guest shopping/info center with 2-4 flat rides). Then I branch off with full sized pathways in branchs like off a tree trunk. My park currently has the main plaza and then one branch off to the right which circles back to the plaza on the left, continues straight down the middle and bends right a bit to where I'll make my water park and then continues around a coaster to a dead end in the right nearest corner which is another coaster. That's only using 20-30% of the map and I got plenty of expansion down the middle and entire left side.

[@james_eggleton]

You can use the path editor from the paths tab, on queue lines. Very simple way to square them off. Also allows you to make the queue thinner and thicker.

I needed this lol. Thank you soo much lol

always happy to help!

[@shoomie-1986]

Ok. My last Rollercoaster game was the original Tycoon lol. Just got planet coaster 2 and I'm blown away/abit overwhelmed with the amount of possibilities in this game. But, thank you for this tutorial! I hope you come out with more. I will be definitely following you and all of your future builds/Content! Thanks again.

[@phxlightz9150]

Yes love to see you build an entire park as a tutorial series. Beautiful work.

[@PixelWess89]

This was so helpful, thank you very much for this tutorial. I was struggling a lot with the new options and hadn’t the time to figure out how this tools actually worked. Thanks!

[@gamettexgames77]

This is the only video for PC2 that i actually learned from,finally i understand some new things. Thanks.

[@LeafProductions]

I'm glad it was helpful!

[@m.st.45]

you are helping me soooo much. Playing on console and got so frustrated but your tutorial is huge!

[@caseycb79]

Thank you so much for doing this. I too am someone who wants to do "great things" in this game, but am overwhelmed by 100 options for each thing. LOL This is fantastic and your ppols and lazy river video was great too!

[@LeafProductions]

You’re welcome! It’s so fun to experiment. ☺️

[@samuellarielle-jones9690]

More tutorial style videos please! I just came to Planet Coaster only a couple months ago and I didn't even realise #2 was on its way. Need more guidance on how to make a park look and feel like a real park. Now just to buy a PS5 and get Planet Coaster 2 😁

[@Foxtrot12345]

I can't wait to see these elements added to Planet Zoo 2, especially the terrain foliage tool. That is such a handy tool that is easily overlooked and something I desperately missed in Planet Zoo.

[@mw0ellie]

You need more subs, likes everything lol. I got so overwhelmed and the game doesn’t explain a lot for me (especially on ps5) I was really struggling with understanding what anything does in career mode. Maybe I’m just not looking at the right things, but thank you very much!! I really appreciate it a lot ❤

[@zoeharuka]

13:52 If you want to make them almost perfectly square, you can just swap to the normal path's edit tool, and move the dots of the queue corners.

[@HEXGayAgenda]

Leaf: providing us all the information we could ever need, before we even knew we needed it! Thanks Leaf, have been and will always be a massive fan! :D

[@HEXGayAgenda]

and yes please! continue this style of tutorial, especially if it means making a little tutorial park!

[@arestris]

Great video. I already thought the pathtool is a big plus compared to PC1 and this tutorial shows me it's even better. Thanks. And in general a great tutorial ... maybe I'll eventually be able to build something that looks good ... for once (in the past, with the other planet games, I'm someone who gives up much too fast).

[@andrewkearns5986]

Thanks for sharing your work, I’m glad I found your channel! You have a great way of explaining things in a clear and accessible manner.

this video was great! you're the best leaf!

[@LeafProductions]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind words

[@NateDorringtonOfficial]

This was absolute gold. Thank you!

[@TSINIproductions]

Angled works best when doing Y shaped junctions. It allows the path to join at an acute angle and not twist at the end to 90 degrees.

[@michaelw6222]

Excellent! Thank you. And a big yes to more tutorials like this.

[@LeafProductions]

You betcha! More tutorials are on the way!

Fixed is a strong word.

[@v3y3rs]

I found a way to make queues square! It's a bit quirky but it works. I'll be sharing a video on how in the planet coaster Nation Facebook group either today or tomorrow hopefully. Took like 3 hours playing around with it before I figured out a near little trick

[@kelsiecollins8427]

Yes please, I'd love more!

The thing that’s really bugging me is no right click for delete, my frontier muscle memory is fuming

Thanks. Very nice tutorial that gave me a lot of good ideas!

[@hortencya302]

I am a bit on the fence about this game. On the one hand I am very excited and want to play it but on the other I have not fully played the first game yet and I also recently got some expansions it feel like I should play the first game until it is finished first.

Great tutorial. Thanks.

[@LeafProductions]

Glad it was helpful!

[@zellski1234]

the game let me use the normal path edit tool on the queue path, i tried to make them squared it would for like one of them but then the rest of them were still curved

[@Snake756]

Really miss the gridded pathing, specifically for queues in buildings, where I already got a box and I want it all filled in with queue line.

[@hapticzer0410]

great tips!! But if I change the color of the flexicolor paths, the color is applied to all paths that can be adjusted. This cannot be undone. Even with a new savegame, the original color of the path has disappeared. So there is no reset button for the original color :-(

[@ryeluvsbread]

I'm completely new to planet coaster and had noooo idea what anything meant but when I would connect my queue paths or paths it would angled and it would look weird and I hated it. I started missing with some things and when I switched it to square it would connect more beautifully. So angle and square is how they would connect to other paths.

[@drac124]

Sequel is made for architects, just like the first one. Real gamers can only make ugly parks, if not 4 hours is spent on decor and detailing.

[@Philbo_Baggins_67]

i hope you do other tutorials. this was the easiest tutorial to follow

[@LeafProductions]

I'm glad you found it helpful! I'm hoping to do a ton more of these!

[@SPRidley]

Thanks for the ttutorlial leaf!

[@LeafProductions]

No problem! Have been a big fan of your work in PlanCo1, can’t wait to see what you do now!

[@scottnelson9]

“More” is not a filler word. “More” is not more, it’s obnoxiously extra. “Rounder” and “sharper” convey exactly what they mean.

[@LeafProductions]

I’ll be more conscientious about this in the future! Thank you. These comments push me more to be better with my words more!

[@supersem6635]

O, I remember that time we couldn't turn off rain in this game

Can someone tell me how I delete my last placed path ? Right click doesn’t work and it’s a pain to click over to the delete tool everytime I place an incorrect path

[@boltspeedman91]

As someone who is new to PC2, I found the game very overwhelming when it comes to customization.

"Civilization themed map" :D

[@VinceB00]

Do we know anything about Priority Queue? They seemed to have not made it into the game.

[@LeafProductions]

they are in the game yes

[@mbookey7561]

how do you stop people from walking through the scenery?

[@themagic_cookie2260]

i was looking everywhere to change the width on the que path. why did they remove that? was i the only one using it haha

[@mattyperry1633]

Game changer

[@AlR-c8w]

The waiting lines do bother me, why can’t the just be the same as the others just labeled differently? The 2m width and lack of matching theme annoys me, especially when I’m trying to add them to a build.

[@SCABRFB]

I'm watching this videos because I really don't like the pathing. I probably just don't understand it the way it was intended.

[@smirkyglint5437]

I hate that you cant make queue paths wider

[@Alexzander19736]

Biggest complaint for me is DISCONNECTION. from time to time, does not matter what i do. 5 min, 7 min 15 min. So frustrating. Installed the game brand new. Just installing, No other program running than Windows and Steam. Just now an error occurred just shutting the game !!

[@LeafProductions]

i havent heard of that issue yet! have you reported it to frontier?

[@Alexzander19736]

@@LeafProductions Reported it. But my biggest issue is as far I've found out the Video card. With Command and conquer Zero hour no problem at all. A;so found out it's the game code that's used , it goes heavy on the video card. So I bought a new one. GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Windforce OC 12G. Hopefully the game will be running smooth. Hope it's running at the end of next week. Did visit a store nearby but they dint have that card, could ask for such, but still had to wait , so I bought it online at Azerty.

Its actually criminal for them to put scale and scenery brush in this game and not in planet zoo

[@LeafProductions]

Well, it came out after. lol

[@MrSharkBuster]

@@LeafProductions than update the game, like when they added the bulldozer option to planet zoo

[@midnightmalice4501]

I keep telling people that paths are actually good. You just need to practice a bit. It SEEMS bad at first. Once you experiment a bit, it kinda slaps. It's a fairly deep and complicated system with a ton of options. Give it more than an hour before you call it bad. Lol.

[@LeafProductions]

That’s the issue I think. People are too quick to give up before they learn a new system. “If it were good, I would be able to do it instantly!” But that’s simply not true. To learn and appreciate something you need to spend more time with it. Nobody gets in a car and is expected to drive perfectly. Nobody picks up a pencil and draws perfectly. It takes time.

[@joshuabreurken2424]

This is so true, it took me a little bit to figure out but it works fairly well imo other than the draw tool, that never does what i want it to especially with pools

[@supernorry3847]

The path menu is absolutly atrocious i freaking hate it. There are to many buttons and to many features and it is hard to keep track. Also it is definetly not made for pc. That is the worse part. It is with every button en every menu too. Also the scenery and the facilities and everything. Outside of that i really like this game. I came to understand the first planet coaster pretty good (i was never really a master builder or anything but i could find my way around it) and i hope i get that here too. But they GOTTA fix the menus otherwhise i won't be playing for very long. Not gonna lie. I really miss the Western Theme and the Pirate Theme from the last game :)

[@jamesmcdonald9588]

The path system is awful.on the ps wish they had just kept it the same as it was! Games getting deleted

[@DeanBallDarlo]

The new pathing system is so fiddly and frustrating

[@derekhowie3435]

The path system is horrific. I can see what they tried to do but now instead of quickly throwing simple paths around water or over water its a battle to get it correct. So much time lost building and deleting paths as it wont work.

[@UnderdogPlays_]

The fact you needed to make this is the problem. It should be pick up and play, I shouldn't need this.

[@LeafProductions]

Uh, sorry I guess? lol

[@bobsmolders9042]

If you want a game with such an indepth amount of customisability its inevitable there's a (big) learning curve. Sigh... There was a time when gamers actually enjoyed the experimenting and learning process of it all, reading manuals etc. Gamers these days just want everything to be easy and instantly comprehensible.

[@phonsely]

the path system is still terrible

[@LeafProductions]

Not really lol. You just need to spend more time with it. It’s huge improvement 💪

[@whymanen]

Imo the controls in the new game are waaaay worse.
