Top 10 'Pro' Building Tips | Planet Coaster Tutorial

[@bryanolinger5742]

You have the only videos I’ve found so far with the most practical and useful building tips. The 1m column grid construction is so helpful

[@gregscott95]

Holy moly the "Z" key function for path connecting is the bomb, I remember watching your tutorial playlist but completely forgot the path trick, side note, we're all waiting patiently for #10 of the Let's Play to come out, will be exciting to see what you do with the Wendigo coaster!

[@Geekism]

It really adds a new level to path designs doesn't it? Part 10 should be out tomorrow :D

[@gregscott95]

NOICE, looking forward to it dude!

[@BrottenGuy]

Or…as Johnny 5 Alive, on Channel 5 Gaming, states…”Great GOOGLY moogly!”

[@donaldgould8430]

I really appreciate your productions. As a new player, (and old guy) it really helps to have a master looking over your shoulder.

[@hyper-thermal]

Really glad I found this channel, gladder still that it's blowing up in success. Now I just need Planet Coaster and everything will be ok

[@Geekism]

Thank you! Are you planning on getting the game soon? It really is awesome!

[@hyper-thermal]

I plan on getting it as soon as I am able.

[@Geekism]

Wicked! You'll love it I'm sure :)

[@sdube001]

Late to the party, just got Planet Coaster due to a sale. THIS is the video I absolutely needed! I'm in Second Life, so have some knowledge of building and placement, but needed a tutorial on the parts of building that is different between the two. This video is it. THANK YOU!

[@RifffRafff]

Very useful, thank you, and you have a lovely calming voice unlike many youtubers. I look forward to watching more. Subscribed.

[@Geekism]

Thank you! Glad you found it useful :)

[@hibahx3]

Watching in 2018. Just got this game for my birthday and I’ve found building things (especially paths) to be so frustrating. These tips are so useful! I also really like your Let’s Build series even though I know it’s been on a long break. Thanks for making these!

[@k1901kk]

So much more useful than other building tutorials! I watched about 4 other and three of them is hust talking and talking without planning their video, and thet we're not showing any particular useful thing the game also doesn't show. One of them said advanced and showed me beginner stuff.. SO this one I really likes! I actually learned something new and it was fun to watch!

[@pens6564]

Wow, I'm playing this game for many hour since the last month and is crazy how I always can discovery new tips and tricks! Amazing vídeos bro, congrats!

[@kkj361]

Just got this game its soo fun and frustrating at the same time took me 1 solid night to get the camera angle movement! nice video

[@ThrottleKitty]

I actually put this game down for almost a year do to largely the camera and the "mechanic fused to broken ride, they are both stuck forever delete them both and start over" bug. That's why I'm posting a year later, decided to pick this back up to get myself excited for planet zoo, sense I always was more of a fan of zoo tycoon games than coaster ones :D

[@sabaducia]

"....you can make...weird modern art," 😂 Really great video 😚

[@Geekism]

Thanks! I recorded the footage and then recorded the audio later, I got to that bit and was like 'What the hell was I doing here?!' lol

[@vondrook4]

LOVE your videos! Super well made, a small amount of humor, but most of all VERY useful tips and tricks

[@budbowen9743]

PS...glad your not one of those guys that screams thru the whole video or uses Fast Forward for 95% of the instruction.

[@kyleveres7405]

Had no idea about any of this, thank u so much. That path tip was amazing can't wait to use it when I get home. I hate the look of the paths being all wonky

[@budbowen9743]

Really enjoy your tips and tricks, been very helpful in shortcutting and definitely removes the frustration factor.

[@harag9]

Some great tips there - Didn't know about #4 - the edges of roofs showing through walls!!! Thanks. Now a year has gone by, maybe some more tips - e.g. how to make curves at X roads on your paths.

[@Tonester666101]

Have spent more time watching your vids than actually playing the game. This vid is wonderful for little control tips. I would also like to add that you actually talk to people like adults than some other vids where they are talking like we are 5 years old. Please keep the vids coming.

[@Geekism]

+Tony Sault Thanks Tony, Im glad you're 😊 enjoying them! I make a conscious effort to produce content for grown ups :)

[@Mr_Spock512]

Great tips man ... I have bookmarked this for further reference.

[@TrickyPlaysGames]

I've been playing from alpha and you showed a couple of things that I didn't know yet. So thanks for that :D

[@Geekism]

+Tricky Plays Games awesome :) thanks for watching!

[@gfv74]

I know I'm a little late to the party, but wanted to add my thanks for these tips. They will definitely help a lot!

[@mcar4able]

My planet coaster struggles were making my fear and nausea go up. This tutorial was perfect and I needed it.

[@EirikAnd99]

Wow, you have 6k subs? I saw the video and thought from the quality that we were talking at least 200k :P good work man

[@portugepunk]

OMG the shops for short stairs is so smart! And wish I knew about z key for patching. Thanks!!

[@Geekism]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@jenperry5696]

I'm getting planet coaster this weekend for my birthday from my fiance and I am SO excited to play! I've been watching your videos in the meantime. Thanks for sharing!! :) Any favorite blueprints I should download once I get the game??

[@masonspitz1257]

Super helpful! thanks! Wishing I had found this video sooner!

[@MetaDadA71]

Fantastic tips! Have one more that I've actually posted about on my channel and that's by using right SHIFT, right CTRL and G to remove the UI for taking videos or screen captures. I know it's not a "building" tip per say but still useful. Thanks!

[@Geekism]

It's a good one, I use it a lot for my videos, but it isn't the most obvious shortcut. I'll bear it in mind for my next tips video :)

[@danlouielaylay9326]

Your videos will going to save my life in planet coaster mate 😂😂 Thanks a lot and more power to your channel 😃😃

[@KennyDead01]

very useful . i should have watch your video before to build my city

[@Pyroblom]

Great tips once again! Thanks and really enjoying your content!

[@Geekism]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@chriscolley1406]

nice i only know one of the things you mentioned even after 250 hours Thanks some of these will actually help alot

[@YiselaAlvarezTrentini]

I feel kinda honoured to be watching this channel now, before it gets to a million subscribers or so. A-f-mazing content, best of the interwebz. Truly, thank you so much for producing these, and... more "Let's build" please! :)

[@Geekism]

Wow! Thank you! Just remember when the channel is huge, you were one of the founders ;) Let's Builds are coming, but as you can imagine they take a bit longer to produce :)

[@Schmetterling_Honey]

Really helpful tips! I especially thought the fence tips were really cool. Thanks for sharing these!! 😉

[@Geekism]

+Adoriyah You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)

[@BecauseGames]

[@TheBluesFlame]

Very helpful and informative videos my friend! Great channel hope it grows successfully!

[@stevebatchelor552]

great guide as always, good job Jonti!

[@Geekism]

Thanks Steve :)

[@majorbrighton]

Great advice and tips, will subscribe with thanks

[@AlgerRS]

wow and here i am just starting out thinking why the hell i didn't start playing 3 years ago, thank you for the tips :D

[@alexanderstetson8123]

Hey geekism, I am incredibly thankful for the videos. I am able to build nicer buildings that don't look to terribly awkward now, however I want to learn how to use all the roof pieces because I find myself only being able to use the slanted pieces and corner pieces. There are other "advanced" roof pieces that I still don't understand how to use. I was curious if you wouldn't mind uploading a video on how to use roof pieces. Thanks again mate! Cheers!

[@Geekism]

+alex stetson Hi Alex, glad you're finding the videos useful :) Roofing is a great topic for a video and I'll add it to the list :)

[@DeathSc00p]

Brilliant and informative. Thanks so much! 👍

[@Geekism]

Thanks!

[@shinzen945]

Super useful! Thank you so much for all your guides, tutorials and tipps. I'm so glad i've found this channel :) keep going

[@Geekism]

Thank you for watching!

[@jeffreybito]

thanks for the video, great help!!!

[@scotte4765]

Here's a tip you can throw in your next tips video: Did you ever bury an object inside another one, like a smoke machine inside a boiler, and then want to get it out without messing up the positioning of the boiler? Select the boiler, hit x twice to activate rotation, and turn angle snapping ON to 45 degrees. Tip the boiler over 45 degrees, move or change the buried object, and then tip the boiler back to its exact original position.

[@Geekism]

+Scott E this is very useful! I use this technique on my Wild West Rapids video, totally forgot to mention it as a tip. Noted for v2 :)

[@FamousPixels]

Very useful video, thanks man!

[@Geekism]

Thanks for watching :)

[@jackpatterson7110]

Very cool, thank you!!

[@scotteh85]

Great vid, really useful! Will you be doing one on constructing buildings at different levels? Having a raised entrance up to a plaza for example.

[@Geekism]

+Scott Taylor that's something I could try and work into a video, I'll add it to the list :)

[@ElfPunkk]

#6 is life changing

[@Geekism]

Right? It's SUPER useful XD

[@jacobshaw8825]

Any idea what replaces "Z" on consoles? Great video, thanks.

[@Ketarine]

Jonti, new subscriber here and am enjoying all the content you've been doing from Planet Coaster. Your tips, in either these quick tutorial vids or even in your LPs have been a great help to me in my game play. Thanks for your content, keep it going!

[@Geekism]

Thank you! Glad it's been useful :)

[@TheDarkSide46]

something that would be very handy is a text doc download of key shortcuts :D

[@TommyT067]

Another great video, like your humor also....

[@Geekism]

Thanks :)

[@ariajermaine8986]

For the last trick instead of placing down a shop, you could just add a new piece of path ad the height you want and then make it connect to the one on the ground, i didnt describe how to do it well but hopefully you know what i mean

[@richardsharples9533]

wow thankyou very much. Liked and Subscribed

[@Geekism]

Thanks for watching! Welcome aboard :)

[@rationalgayz]

Great content mate, you deserve way more subs

[@Geekism]

Thanks :)

[@BrottenGuy]

“You can make ….weird……modern art.” Idk why, but I lost it!

[@SuzySuziko]

Thanks! You are most helpful :)

[@PunkieMonkeyPoo]

Would like to see you do a tutorial about building a theme for rollercoaster. I'm struggling with that. I would like to make them mostly indoor coasters, if you've already done that a link to the video would be great!

[@Geekism]

I haven't done anything like that yet, but 'dark rides' and indoor coasters will definately feature on the channel soon :)

[@PunkieMonkeyPoo]

Geekism Awesome! I look forward to it! Your videos are definitely informative, and easy to understand.

[@loopyloo2410]

Thanks keep making videos you have a great vibe here... Have you thought about joining the yogscast?

[@Geekism]

Thanks :) I've looked at a few networks, but I'm not too sure where the channel is heading just yet, and I'm kinda enjoying figuring it all out for myself :)

[@Looyenss]

the first tip: tested it: it centers them in the building grid. so if you grid is 2 by 2 it will center it there.

[@Geekism]

Ah, good point :) Thanks for sharing!

[@Sandgrr]

Thanks for awesome vids man! I almost got rctw, then i found ur channel and u saved me :D

[@Geekism]

+Sandgrr Good save! RCTW is a real disappointment! Glad you found us, welcome aboard!

[@jinggala1385]

thank you so much. help me a lot

[@aung5357]

Thanks for the tip keep them coming

[@Geekism]

Thanks for watching :)

[@johnembleton4819]

Loving the tips/tutorials videos, really useful - you've just won a new subscriber! Would love a park management tutorial as well - thins like staff wages/training, work rosters, shop distribution and pricing, ride pricing vs park entrance pricing etc. I'm certainly having problems making anyone buy a hat!

[@Geekism]

Thanks! Currently working on 2 tutorials, one for staffing/wages/rosters etc and one for shop placement/pricing etc :)

[@DanneLoveMadde]

Great job, its nice to learn some new tricks! So awesome game with unlimited creativity, im looking forward to see what you can do next time! Loving the vids!

[@Geekism]

Thanks very much! The possibilities really are endless!

[@mcseventy6]

I had to stop in the first 20 seconds to write this because that first tip is so useful and i had no idea that existed.

[@ozanmirak9232]

GREAT! BUT, How to make anything bigger or smaller?

[@liamevans9815]

Jonti, my man, you've saved me again! Lol.

[@NoursOzaure]

For the 6, the multi selection. You can use "CTRL" like as Windows to add an objet or keep an objet of your selection. You just to use the 1st selection mode (on the top) and Hold the CTRL button.. ;)

[@Geekism]

So you can! Good point :)

[@jackanatormeadowmovies7152]

Wat I never knew u had 40k+ subs I thought u had millions as your such a good KZbinr

[@tvd-theremedy2515]

Good stuff dude!

[@Geekism]

Thanks!

[@JopeliH]

Thank you!!!!

[@benji3116]

Cheers mate, im off to make some weird modern art!

[@걍부자-z1h]

thank u. appreciate it

[@laineywright2696]

Speaking of fixing glitches, I guess the group together thing was a glitch or at least a trick that the developers do not want us to use because pressing the group together tool and then left-clicking does not link the items together. At least it doesn't on my Decem ber 2019 version of Planet Coaster.

[@marcobuurlage9199]

Is it possible to line up a non grid item on 90 degrees? If i use the non grid items and i turn them by ctrl x i dont know when the item is lined up 90 degrees. For example if i build a building with grid walls and i want to cover the corners with a wooden non grid pole i dont get the piece 90 degrees on my walls but only turned.

[@gametheater3224]

thanks for the tips

[@Geekism]

You're welcome!

[@isaacwriston]

THANK YOU

[@TraianusImperator]

Great vid.

[@Geekism]

Thank you :)

[@stepvast]

Wow thankyou man it was really helpfull!! Liked and subbed👌

[@morgastic23]

First tip, paying respect with F.

[@CityoFun]

very useful - thank you for this. can you explain a little, maybe, what does the "use the world axes" button? and why when I select two or more pieces they shange the axes making it unable to use the lock to X anymore cause X is gone a different direction than the wall for example (not sure how to describe better this issue)

[@Geekism]

the 'world axis' is the x direction of the map. Sort of like a north/south/east/west type thing. No matter which way you turn an item, using the world axis will always have the arrows in the same direction. As for multiple items giving a strange axis, I think the game tries to find the 'middle' of the items and works out an axis from there... unfortunately it sometimes produces a strange result. I'm looking for a fix, if I find one it will be in the next video :)

[@CityoFun]

Thanks man. BTW, I tried to add you on FB but no answer yet :)

[@tessahaanskorf]

yaaaas! nice video. One weird thing, at my laptop the x key to turn objects doesn't work. I have no idea

[@tessahaanskorf]

ohhh it's ctrl x. nevermind 😅

[@tessahaanskorf]

and maybe an idea for a future video, a guide to all the shortcuts in the game. like ctrl x, z to rotate, m to move, z at pathways, duplicate etc. it took me a really long time to find those out and I still discover new things, because of the shitty tutorial. I think such video is really helpfull

[@Geekism]

I don't think I'll do one with EVERY shortcut in the game, as frankly there are hundreds. But I definately try and share shortcuts where I can. In futre though, check the '?' in the left corner, all of the shortcuts for whatever you are doing at the time are listed there :)

[@Bosmanneggie]

you could also cntrl + z the building. or in this case fence. a lot easier.

[@Geekism]

Yes! Don't know how I missed that! Good call :)

[@ian1957ruth]

Useful thank you

[@Geekism]

Thanks for watching :)

[@HatakeKatsuya]

Enjoyable little video! :)

[@kdebusscher]

This helped a lot! Thanks for making these tutorials. *Sub

[@Geekism]

Welcome aboard! Glad you found them useful :)

[@zoorenard1101]

30 seconds in: "Press the F key" Me: silently cries in console controller

[@tycoonfan2862]

How do you reduce the ride time? Because people saying the wait time is to long for them to wait 😂

[@dreamaviation754]

Hm...Lets watch some tutorials from you and maybe i will find out im not to dumb to build cool things in Planet Coaster :D Nice vid. Was the first one i watched from your channel. Direct sub and like :D

[@Airbus23]

How do you do the thing with windows and all that on console

[@febril41]

I thumb up in the first minute for the F key tip.

[@Geekism]

So useful!

[@jak0995]

use keys 'U' and 'J' to make path slope without having to commit to a mouse click

[@Geekism]

GREAT tip! We actually covered it in the pathing tutorial video, but it's well worth mentioning again :)

[@ltsJoey]

What would the ”F” key be on Xbox?

[@dErHaRd23]

I can't believe I've been playing for 3 and half years and din't know some of these tips... "facepalm"... Thank you Geeksim!!
