Absolutely, we're asking folk to ignore the landscaping / theming and judge the layout... However personally, I think if you've got time, do a little at least...
I am wondering if it's worth considering a firmer rule for this, maybe in future rounds at this point as some hard work has already gone in. It's possible there's a difference between asking voters to ignore and it having some subliminal influence anyway. Just from a personal perspective I saw the screenshot of Matt's and my very first thought was 'back to the drawing board for me', but I hadn't even watched it yet so it wasn't just the layout talking - I don't think it can't do that from a first impression, but scenery can.
I totally agree. I think we touched on that in the other thread. We can ask them to judge the layout, but you're right, some landscaping and theming certainly won't hurt their opinion of the layout... This is why I suggest those that can, and have time, do some basic terraforming at least. Even a bit of grading, some water, and some trees makes the world of difference (this is all I've done for the most part, apart from a basic station building and sign, I've added gradients, water and trees.)
Sounds good to me, time to get planting!
Nope you can join in buddy… As I said before, it’s never too late as long as you don’t mind others have a few days head start in this round (not that it makes a difference, still 12 full days left and most of us are about finished in 2 days!!!)
Great work, Nicky; the ride looks excellent!I'm not done yet, but since I recently discovered how quick and easy Premier Rush is compared to Premier, I made a video of the layout so far... Still some elements that need polishing, but honestly, I'm quite happy with it so far, and this 'may' end up being the finished product, as the more I try and polish that damn stall, the worse it seems to get!!!!! Although I doubt I can stop tweaking it... Feedback definitely welcome
It’s just the transition into it that I can’t seem to get how I want it… It’s a bit janky. The positives are that I think I’ve nailed the exit, and it maintains weightlessness nicely throughout. But that entry into it is driving me mad…
When I do stalls, how I tend to do them is I tend to slowly bank into the inversion 45 degrees or so at a time until you’re fully upside down at 180 degrees; for me, that tends to create a reasonably smooth inversion.
Well it depends what length of track piece you use… I kind of did it in a weird way. The main aim was to hit it at the right time to achieve and maintain weightless, then I tried to fix the jankiness afterwards… I feel like I’ve done something whilst trying to fix it that I didn’t mean to do, and I can’t for the life of me find what it is…
Looks good, nice work. I think you can maybe try to make the part where you leave the stall a bit more whippy. So when the steepness of the drop out of the stall increases you are going back from upside down to no banking. And when the track is going from its steepest point to the bottem of the hill track does not need to rotate anymore.I'm not done yet, but since I recently discovered how quick and easy Premier Rush is compared to Premier, I made a video of the layout so far...

I think that sentence sums up Planet Coaster in a nutshell!Started playing about with an Intamin Hyper last night before bed which was done in no time. Was then up til 2am fiddling about with theming
It’s a nightmare isn’t it? Do you even have access to the Steam community items on console?Started playing about with an Intamin Hyper last night before bed which was done in no time. Was then up til 2am fiddling about with theming
I also have a spare steam key and world's fair pack DLC if anyone else wants to have a go (n.b. even if you have a crap computer, as long as your internet speed is ok - i.e. can stream video you can use geforce now to stream the game for free if you own it, albeit for hour long sessions)
There is a workshop with some downloadables tbf.It’s a nightmare isn’t it? Do you even have access to the Steam community items on console?
Not even theming mine beyond a station and some simple landscaping… We’re asking folk to judge the layout only
My landscaping too all of 5 minutes, and the station took around 15 minutes.
