that impulse coaster actually looks really fucking fun I want to ride it damn

>>2020128
Oh my god I love everything about that coaster, and everything surrounding it.

>>2020128
>tfw your coaster is used at the OP pic

>>2020150
thank you anon

>>2020135
Is it possible to start Linkin Park without everyone dying?

Damn, that's a nice wooden-coaster.

>>2020161
If you pause it immediately upon start-up, yeah.

>Error trapper just as I figure out how the next coaster will work
Did I kill someone in my last life, or something?

>>2020220
Well ho was it going to work?

>>2020227
I changed the maze so a coaster weaves around and in between it.

>>2020209
>this coaster

>>2020257
have you never seen track merging before

>>2020261
no please explain.

>>2020263
you can use trainers to merge two different types of coaster track together

lets you do some neat shit

Just finished decorating Lava Drainage, but just like every other rollercoaster, their scenery are still a work in progress. I also quickly built a decent wild wooden mouse roller coaster. And it seems I can still fit another roller coaster in this abandoned mine area, maybe even two other roller coasters.

>>2020268
that's cool as fuck

>>2020272
Whoops forgot to post the picture.

Carrying it over again.

Sp00ktober Contest
https://www.mediafire.com/?rqd6nfqob3rfdkb

>>2003436
>>2004050

Deadline is November 1st. Download the file and drop it into your saved games folder. No need to complete the objective (you can if you want to, I suppose). Create the best spooky themed park you can and we'll all vote at the end of the contest. Trainers and such are allowed.

When you're finished with your park, upload it to a file sharing site (mediafire is easy to use) and post the link on the Collab Parks Google Doc (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhGqM6X4U4_MdEVFYU83ZGVwRm9DVno0ZWdXbUkwRkE&usp=sharing).). Optionally, you can add an imgur album of pictures to go with it for easy viewing.

>>2020283
I think you can get rid of the scam shuttles now...

>>2020296
Speaking of which...

>>2020296
Oh, forgot to mention. If you want to stay as an anon when you submit your park, just list your name as Anonymous on the doc and we'll vote for your park by the park name.

Am I reaching acceptable levels of spook?

>>2020567
only 0.7spooky

you've got a long way to go to 2spooky

>>2020575
Forgive me, my spookiness, for it is a work in progress. In all seriousness though, getting a later start kinda blows when all the cool ideas have been posted already. I don't want to look like I'm ripping off anyone.

>>2020567
That's cool, I like the abandoned railroad feel.

>>2020128

>Peaceful, comfy scenery
>Flowers, water, trees

>Carnivore

>>2020646
Would you prefer Herbivore?

>>2020646
I was trying to think of something somewhat original along the lines of "Beast" but obviously I didn't actually want to call it "Beast".

It was supposed to be a placeholder name, but it kinda stuck.

>>2020706

yeah, actually. I quite like that.

Jesus Christ what a cunt of a map. I finally got around that annoying error trapper that was crashing my game as soon as I loaded the map. Protip: Don't place powered launched sections on twister coasters in reverse.

>>2020320
Yeah they been taking space for a potential vertical drop roller coaster in the spooky area, but I'll just get rid of the one near the abandoned mine area, and the other two nearest to the corkscrew shuttle. The two nearest to Wizard's Tower look nice with it.

>>2020296
Where can I get the rock scenery used in this pic?

>>2021028

>>2021030
Stuff comes together pretty cool, sadly it isn't that sp00ky, but IDGAF

>>2021021
downoload the Hexa collab (http://www.file-upload.net/download-9048181/Hexa-Collab.SC6.html)) Then play it once. It should automaticly add the custom scenery.

>>2021036

Just use more dead/spooky trees, and maybe change your balloon colour, it's just very cheery and colourful right now.

>>2021036
More woodland areas with dead trees and muddy grass?

>>2020775
You know there's an updated version of this floating around somewhere without the dueling coasters, right?

>>2021063
Is there a way to get rid of the balloons? With 8cars?

What exactly is a trainer?

>>2021121
A third-party program which you can run while playing rct, with this program you can get mountain tool outside the scenario editor or change the weather for example.

>>2021135
Sounds scary and complicated.

>>2020128
>3 wide path

>>2021198
>Sounds scary and complicated.

Thank you very much for the links, especially the one for the UCES, since the official site's now a japanese placeholder site.

Is there anyway to stop the game from pausing on alt-tab?

>>2021294
Or speed up time.

>>2021294
It's not paused.

>>2021317
So it is not. Thanks, anon. I'm dumb.

Is there anyway to add custom ride music?

>>2021356
THIS
I need to the Top Spin floating above my rivers of blood to play Linkin Park songs.

>>2021356
Yes but it's very tedious and you can only have 2 custom songs at any time across all parks (but you can use them everywhere)

>>2021375
That's oddly restrictive.

>>2021356
http://forums.rctspace.com/index.php?showtopic=19422

>>2021356
>>2021375
You can replace the default music if you really want to, I believe. They're just WAVs with the DAT extension.
22,050 Hz PCM stereo, if you want to add custom music. 8-bit for RCT1, 16-bit for RCT2 (and I imagine Locomotion as well, though the music in Lomo is top tier so I'm not sure why you'd want to replace it).

>>2021376
RCT2 is pretty fucking restrictive when it comes to custom content.

>>2021102
Stop selling balloons and they'll be gone in a few hours. They go faster than you'd think.

>>2021415
If you mess this up, it sounds like shit. See: http://youtu.be/TXw5wpJAEic

>>2021432
I believe that's caused by just changing from a higher frequency to 22 kHz. You have to actually downsample it, IIRC.

>>2021437
Yeah, I missed a step in the process. What a pain in the ass.

>>2021028
those boats look comfy af

I tried the windowed hack, but found it uncomfortable and removed it, now RCT2 says the expansions are missing. Wat do /vr/ct?

>>2021474
You fucked up and deleted something you shouldn't have. Reinstall, or restore the files you deleted and ONLY delete ddraw.dll and detoured.dll.

>>2021478
Had to reinstall, but all my old files migrated without problems. whew

>>2021480
your pastebin avatar is cute.

I kinda like the layout, but ratings a shit.

>>2021568

Try taking out those corkscrews, they're probably causing your lateral Gs. Also instead of unbanking and rebanking (behind those trees in the bottom left), keep the track banked.

>>2021568
You know, with a coaster called "Antigravity", there's not a lot of air-time.

>>2021579

PSA because I keep seeing people make this mistake: banked straight track contributes to the E/I/N ratings exactly the same amount that flat straight track does. If there's a difference, it's tiny.

>>2021649
It's not the stats I'm worried about, it just looks god-awful, painful, and unrealistic.

>>2021649

Maybe it did in RCT1? Either way, like anon said, it looks shit.

>>2021568
>Stand-up coaster
There's your problem

I'm really bad at scenery. Anyone got tips or tutorials or something?

This area is not really spooky, is it?

Well, behind the woodie is about 1/3rd of the park, and I'm going to turn all of that into an "abandoned part of the park" theme. Hopefully it'll be 2spooky and nice looking.


Also, sorry for not posting updates recently. That fucking castle saped a LOT of energy out of me. Fuck, was that a task.

>>2023862
>>2023868
Thanks.

Here's my newest addition. I came up with this idea on the train today. Not sure I'm completely content with how it turned out, but it ain't bad. I might change it up a bit later, especially the big building at the back part.

So I deleted the Air-Launched Vertical coaster for this. Even trade.

Also, I fucking hate the isometric view of this game. It makes being really tall things a pain in the fucking ass because it just blocks vision of parts of the park, so I have to work around that shit, and bleh, fuck it. Deleted it.
Especially when the peak of the hill was blacking the station of this ride. Made me sad.

Do you guys know of any good letsplayers for RCT?
I watch Flux Trances videos already

>>2024130
matsku84 isn't really good at commentating, but I'd be lying if I said he doesn't make fantastic looking parks.

>>2024130
Not really a let's player or good but I like to watch MonotoneTim whenever he streams. Some of his older streams are on YouTube under scorpionrocks55.

He also made a North Korea park.

>>2024137
>>2024140
Thanks guys, I will check them out.

>>2024130
I'll watch a few Twitch streams here and there, but I never watch Let's Plays on youtube, mostly because I don't have the patience for it.

I noticed that one of my parks has plateaued at ~1000 guests for a couple of years and advertising didn't do jack shit? How do I get more people to come in?

Yay? Nay?

I know it's not 2spooky, but pretend it's a haunted mountain, because that's what I'm going with and I'm sticking to it.

>>2024643
Every time I see this mountain scenery waterfall themed coasters, it's always placed at the corner of the map. I know it's difficult with RCT's terrain tool but it's too obvious that people like cutting corners - no pun intended. Why not challenge yourself? Build an entire mountain instead of a pissy little one. The amount of time you spend on scenery in RCT is proportionate to how good it looks, I feel.

>>2024643
well it doesnt exactly look realistic but its pretty okay.

>>2024671
Do this, put the mountain exactly so the twister coaster track at the bottom of that screen rests right on top of the mountain.

Then make a shitload of tunnels to go along with your good foliage and rock choices.

Remember to use tree heights and placement to your advantage, a tree clearing/druidic area on top of the mountain would add to spook factor. Then it's balancing coloring around the whole thing, the dark grey/green of the mountain can work.

>>2024671
Well, I couldn't, because the rest of the map is covered in coasters.
I would definitely try to do this, but this is just where the "abandoned" part of the park happened to go.

>>2024689
How exactly would you achieve a "realistic" look in a game that's basically blocks?

>>2024715

well i mean i've never seen a train track go over a waterfall. The game is based in reality; blocks are just the aesthetic

>>2024732
That's why I tried to make it seem like the supports were built on rocks that are jutting out of the waterfall, instead of just building supporting into the water.That was the look I was going for.

>>2024642

Build more, better stuff.

>>2024643

Shame the water isn't green. Map creator should've thought of that.

>>2024140

>>2024080
I'm really interested in this theory that being tall makes it difficult to see things in an isometric view.. could you tell me more?

>>2025191
This was probably sarcasm, but I'm bad at explaining myself.
I don't like it when rides block the view of other rides. There.

>>2025357
Turn da camera around

>>2025363
Yeah, but it still bothers me I can't view the ride from all angles.
And in some parks of the park you can only see thing from one angle, like the goo pit in my initial post. The massive castle blocks it from two angles.

PARKITECT CONFIRMED FOR RCT2 KILLER

ALL HAIL PARKITECT

>>2025191

Especially if you have two tall things next to each other, the space between them becomes a blind spot because you're forced to view it from an angle. Any time you want to build or construct anything in there, you have to remove the shit around it in order to get to it.

>>2025458
nah.

>>2025191
Not him, but you cannot imagine how difficult this was to build with only 4 viewing angles.

>>2025534
>plopping down a fuckload of stuff
>change camera angle, it's all misplaced

>>2025547
This is why I don't build anything nice to post on /vr/. I do that shit all the time.

>>2024643
So I finished off the little lake at the bottom of the waterfall. hopefully it should look better.
Or worse.

>>2027217
I'm willing to bet you can get the excitement even higher by lowering the train count by 1.

>>2027482

>>2027495
The trains are stacking up on the lift hill.

I can't seem to use zero clearance for my spooky park anymore... Everytime I deactive it, bits of my park are still flickering. Stays even if I reboot the game and reload. Any thoughts?

>>2027697

Also, swamp.

>>2027697
I got that when I tried messing around. I hope you didn't bork your save.

>>2027997

No, I create a new numbered save every time. And I save often! Reloading the previous one fixed it. Not being able to use ZC will make the rest of the park harder though...

>>2029972

http://www.rctmart.com/fossil/PathingSystems.html

They're getting stuck there, and can't find the way out of the park. If you can connect a path from that square bit to the entrance, it should fix the problem.

>>2029972
put a path at the end of the area circled and make it go straight to the exit

>>2030106
>>2029996
Do you even aesthetics?

It looked less ugly than I thought it would, though... hope it's still spooky scary enough :S

I've been experimenting with an alternate curve on the wooden coaster I had. Before it was just a simple 180 turn.

Build extreme coasters.

>>2031652
Oh god that cringy orange Giga again

>>2031658

Had to get the intensity up! There's a lot of that stupid shit going on.

I'm just having a look at this myself ... I like the lopsided cobra roll on the brown coaster in the top right. Also I seem to be going from the gentle incline after a large loop into a steep incline on the purple coaster towards the middle. And the long green straight line right at the centre bottom? That's the drop out of the station, not a lift hill...

>>2031652
>>2031668
Jesus christ how awful...

>>2031668
>Had to get the intensity up!
So do that by making the ride longer. With block sectioning, you get more people on the ride and off the paths. If you artificially increase intensity in a shitty way, you hurt the excitement, which directly affects park rating.

ur doin it wrong

>>2031696
I don't think you know what you're talking about.

>>2031703
Feel free to indicate what's wrong, then.

>>2031714
>artificially increase intensity
No such thing. Excitement scales with intensity up to 10 then plummets. If you're referring to it not being realistic then you shouldn't be playing videogames. Also its a giga, you can send it flying into a concrete wall and guests will like it.

>affects park rating
No it doesn't. A coaster with 4 excitement and 12 intensity will still keep guests happy but not as much as a coaster with 8 excitement and 9 intensity. Also, not as many people will ride it.

There's nothing wrong with what he did. Extreme Heights calls for extreme measures.

>>2031696

Have you ever played extreme heights? Even if your coaster has excitement 10 and intensity 7, guests won't ride it because it's too boring. You really need to artificially increase it to stupid levels.

And my park rating was fine. Hence why I beat the scenario. But thanks for trying to teach me what block brakes are for when clearly every coaster in that screenshot uses them.

hey guys playing a lot of the first game here, is there any benefit to going to the second one? I have only ever played the first and really enjoy it.

>>2031737
Only everything.

You're not the first one to ask this and the reply you'll always get is the main advantage the first has over the second is the consistently decent scenarios. But that's where the /v/ pack comes in.

>>2031741
is there anyway to make the interface more like the first one?

If you ignore 1-2 points of excitement sway, sure, that's the general trend. You can hurt excitement with shitty design before intensity hits 10. This should be pretty fucking obvious given that the broken giga/hyper can have stats of 7/5 but also 6/6. It's less obvious but still clearly present with all other types of coaster.

>but not as much
That's the point. Higher excitement means a larger boost to happiness. If everything else is great such that it doesnt take much to keep guests happiness topped off, then fine, but it is certainly not irrelevant.

>>2031725
You can shit a bunch of hills to kick the intensity up without resorting to a 4g turn. One need kinda strain to see block brakes everywhere in that screenshot, but that wasn't the point in mentioning them. A longer ride allows more block sections which amplifies their affect.

I wasn't attacking you, but that mentality, as making the ride retarded is disgusting. In attacking the mentality, of course I fully explain the alternative, including the min/maxing shit. I'm just expressing the sentiments of the other two complainants in a far more verbose way.

Bottom left you will see your money. Click on it.

Alternately, go to rides -> research tab -> finances

Alternately, press F.

To see messages/broadcasts, click the date ( I had trouble finding this when coming from rct1 )

to get you started with new features you could always watch the 'How to build roller coasters' tutorial, found in a tab in the main menu. It's written for a 4th grader to be able to grasp, so you'll be all set.
Another thing I had trouble finding until years later: press shift to place scenery, rides, whatever at a different height. Hope this helps

Don't worry, I wasn't feeling attacked or anything. And in general, I would agree with you. Even with scenarios, I generally put special effort into making the parks pretty and realistic.

However, Extreme Heights is just a special case. Most realistic-style coasters just won't hit the required intensity. In fact, iirc, that orange Giga was consistently one of the most popular coasters in that park.

And you also can't just make the coasters eternally long, because even with my "retard-coaster" approach, space became an issue.

EH is one of my least favourite scenarios anyway, I'm glad it's sort of a one-off.

Does anyone find ghost towns legitimately creepy?
For me, it's the towns that were built during the gold rush specifically, where a fuck ton of murders occured each day. God knows how many unmarked graves there are in those towns.

>>2032437
Here's another angle because the Hyper-Twister is blocking some of it.

I'm getting kind of bored of the spooktober park ... maybe I should've stuck to a slightly smaller one.

>>2032465

It's Spooktober bitch, shape up or shit out.

Bad news guys, I can't finish my sp00ktober park because my procrastinating ass needs to make up a bunch of school shit. On the flip side, I had an idea for a different contest for winter that isn't just the standard "build the [adjective]est park".

>>2033627
So what's this idea?

>>2033628
Nigger

Why not a "who can make the most enjoyable scenario" type of deal? Or maybe pass around a finish 5 and whoever comes up with the best rides wins?

not sure if putting a drop tower in the circled spot would ruin the mood. was also thinking about putting a vertical drop coaster around the border of it.

>>2033675
Put something around the fringes, but don't fill it up.

>>2033675
How cliche. Dont do it.

>>2030575
Always thought that that meant they were more satisfied than the other dudes.

>>2033345
fuck off im just trying to work with the resources i have

I really should have started this park sooner.

Spooky laboratory done! It has scary skeletons and spiders and stuff floating in acid... some are still alive... and at the back, a path leads to a merry go round, standing eerily in the shadows of the woods. There is no music.


Thoughts?

>>2034397
Gosh dang that makes me feel inadequate.

I also fucked up my image in paint, I just realised. I am just the worst, haha.

haha

>>2034398
Looks good. Maybe a wider range of dead trees around it and/or an acid leakage?

>>2034397

How are you whiting-out the outside bits?

>>2034085
>resorting to retarded trains when you have normal trains and scenery

>>2034610

Sounds like too much effort.

Does look pretty though...

Seems to be just about done.
Still have 2/3rds of the fucking park to fill up, though.

>>2034787
How do you make those slanted fences again? Is there a way to do it without zero clearance?

>>2034792
You raise the land up to where you want the fence to be, and drag the bottom-most corner downward, as sortof pointed out in the picture.

>>2034802
Nice, thanks!

>>2034632
It can be cumbersome at times but the results are worth it.
I'll probably make a full-sized transparent png of my park if I actually get it done on time.

>Mr Sycamore was visiting the resort with his family and chose the 70-year-old Grand National wooden roller coaster as the first ride of the day with his great nephew Harry Parlour, 13. But as the carriages sped along his body became limp and he slumped into the cart. It is understood former JCB driver Robert suffered from spondylitis, an inflammation of the vertebrae in the back.

Good one, Harry.

>>2035852

>>2035852

I don't use a trainer, am I gonna be able to open all the parks that were created using a trainer or am I gonna have to use one too?

>>2036051
You'll be able to open them up in the base game.

>>2036051
Trainers only defeat runtime safeguards. Once changes have been made, it'll run in any client or none at all (including the client of the person using the trainer).

my park is more fucked than greece's economy

> Almost exclusively pre built coasters

no. You don't just come back from this.

I built a rollercoaster.
A mega.
It has over ten excitement.
A little over eight intensity.
I know this, because I've had it made five test runs.
I've opened it.
Eight bucks to ride.
And every guest.
Every single guest.
They don't wanna ride it.
They just stand there, and look at it.
This has been going on for two in-game month.
Seventeen guests have actually taken a ride.
The rest just watch.
What is happening?

>>2036670

Look at guest thoughts about the ride.

Post screenshot of ride/stat window

>>2036271
Yeah I was thinking of doing this because most people still have a lot to do. I'll move the deadline to late Sunday night (eastern), probably around midnight.

Just a little piece of scenery.

>>2035560
ah yes, isometry.

>tfw I ain't got enough time to finish my spookypark

Welp, I've completely run out of ideas/motivation to keep working on this park.
I mean, look how much I have left, holy shit.
I'm probably just going to try Extreme Heights or something.

>>2037293
Nobody ever said you have to fill up the entire park with stuff.

>>2037293

Just feel the blank areas with trees and stuff.

>>2037293
Don't wanna be Negative Nancy, but i think your park is horrible apart from some things.
Like that themed bit on the left side is great, but the rest is just hideous

>>2037404
I tried my best...

>>2037404
>horrible
bit of an overstatement, m8...
The castle and the mountains on the left are really good but I wouldn't call the rest of it hideous

Would it be possible to make a mod that includes the offseason months, but forces everything to close during those months?

>>2037601
And what, all your guests leave too and the number reset to 0 every year? I don't think the game is balanced for that. Would definitely make it harder.

>>2037617
It would make scenarios tedious, but I don't really care about that, I just think it would be an interesting way of playing sandbox. Although, if you charge per entry, it would actually be more profitable.

What is wrong with log flumes?

>>2037675
Nothing. Just on Extreme Heights, no one will ride them.

>>2037675
Why have log flumes when you can have roaring rapids or splash boats?

Are finances tougher in RCT2? I'm having a lot of trouble. RCT1 I usually can build a kick ass coaster, charge like $5 and make back my investment fairly soon, but I have to take loans out the ass to get anything built in RCT2 and I'm not making any profits. Am I doing something wrong?

>>2037930
RCT2 encourages you to build on a larger scale with bigger coasters and tons of scenery and stuff.

>>2037937
Well, playing Crazy Castle I took out an extra $15,000 to make a fuckhueg coaster around the whole castle scenery and put down a couple gentle rides. I'm only making about $750 a month not spending anything. If guests aren't complaining is the price fine?

>>2038002
Yes. Chris did an excellent job of giving you the information necessary to troubleshoot.

>>2037404
dude what? that castle is fukken gr8

>>2038002
Guests will complain when a ride is too expensive. Alternatively, you can check the rides list and sort by popularity or profit to see if prices are too high. A ride that is too expensive will have a popularity of 0% and negative profits.

>>2038002
If a ride is exciting enough you can charge over $15 a ride and they won't complain, though you will need to keep an eye on it as the allure of a new ride will wear off before a year is up. A general rule of thumb I read here once that I stick to is a dollar for every excitement value, decreasing as time goes on.

>>2038181
Yeah, all I'm trying to figure out is if there's a demand curve or if it's just "cheap; fine; too expensive". The coaster is supposed to be making 7k an hour but I'm still only getting a slow drip of $750 a month.

>>2038186
The curve goes sort of like "Cheap, fine, no fucking way." At a certain point, no one will ride something, and you have to stay alert because as a ride ages, the price people are willing to pay to ride it goes down as well. Check your ride popularity list periodically.

>>2038002

Is the coaster running on maximum capacity? I.e. are the trains always full, and are there enough people to fill them or do they sit around the station waiting for passengers? If so, short of adding more trains, there's not much you can do to make more money from it.

If not, it's probably not the coaster's fault, but rather that you don't have enough people in the park. Building a few more cheap things (gentle and thrilling rides), and making sure you have all the shops/toilets etc. people need, should help. Keep your park rating high and people will keep coming.

Also, a fuckhueg coaster right off the bat is usually not the best approach, I've found. I recommend starting with one or two small to medium coasters and not building something massive until at least year 2.

>>2038363
This is solid advice. You can build a park with the motherfucker Milennium Force in it, but your guest count will be tiny if that's the only good ride. You shouldn't be afraid to start off small and build your way up.

God
Fucking
Damnit
This is the 3rd time remaking this coaster And it was either way too intense, or not intense enough.
Why are Gigas so broken?

>>2039257

Try doing a medium bend at the bottom of a massive drop. Worked for me.

>>2039259
You do know people will still ride that, right? That definitely falls within "close enough" territory.

>>2039262
Honestly, I thought that guests will refuse to ride anything that doesn't meet their arbitrarily-defined criteria of intensity. So people that prefer the intensity of "more than 9" will still ride this?

>>2039269

You could just open it and find out?

>>2039269
I've had success with rides as low as 7 intensity. Granted those weren't the most popular rides in the park but they still filled up the queue all the same.

>>2039272
>>2039273
Well I'll be.

>>2039269

Okay, I'm leaving for the weekend tomorrow, so I'm calling my Spooktober park done right here and now. I'll be assembling the screenshot gallery tonight.

Haven't had much time to work on my park this week and I'll be going to Six Flags tonight so I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish in time. I still need to add the town and surrounding rides. I'll be uploading it finished or unfinished either way.

Okay, I'm DONE. Also it's fucking 4 am holy shit lol

>>2040631
By default, no, but you can do it manually with 8cars. On a tile with a support, dig down a bit and place an object that deletes the support. Then use zero clearances (absolute), raise that land tile back up, and restore clearances

>>2040958

Love the tree placement, anon, and the ride itself looks comfy as fuck.

First time playing RCT2 in years. 4 hours gone in the blink of an eye. Still somewhat rusty, but I'm happy with how these two coasters turned out, even if their stations look rather silly.

I keep making woodies and not finishing them because proper custom supports are tedious and can't be saved.

>>2042056
I'm talking about lowering land under fence pieces via 8cars. If you save them, they don't maintain their sloping when built from the track file.

>>2042070
A way around the problem would be a cusom scenery piece that fulfills the same job. But you can only have so many scenery pieces.
