This thread is 467467

I want to get off /vr/ct - RollerCoaster Tycoon - Thread 16

WHOOPIE GOLDBERGS WET FANTASIES.sv6 has an open slot, we need one more to finish off our 3x3 park. Look at the spreadsheet and send segfault an email so he can give you the save.

It's just that it's not new anymore.
The webmaster said he was still working on it, but last I checked (right now) there hasn't been any updates, or significant ones.
Anyways, it's in the -MISCELLANEOUS- section.

So how does multiplayer work? That seems like fun but I haven't played in forever.

>>467860
We have a few different scenarios (listed on the google doc). We each take a whatever x whatever space and build a miniature park in it. Once we finish we pass it along to the next person in line.

I wanted to make a park based on Calaway Park, but the only roller coaster they have in the park is complete boring dicks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_CYefv0qf0

Any tips on landscaping?
My mountains look like shit and I want to get better at this game to be able to play with you guys.

>>467780
>>467789
I'm blind as a bat, thanks for showing me

I'm pretty sure Fungus Woods is impossible. Look at this park. This park surely has enough rides to entertain 2500 people right? Nope. I could only get up to 1.6 thousand into the park during year 4 and it seriously would not go up. You can see how desperately I was by the end (lower right corner), just placing roller coasters left and right because I could not get the guest amount to go up. Now I'm mad depressed because I liked my wooden coaster knots at the top and left of the park. What did I do wrong?

I started again 2 days ago. When I was a kid I loved to build batshit insane coasters, but now i find a lot of satisfaction in building small but efficient coasters. So far the looping coaster is my favorite.

>>468046
And some others I build.

Can you tell the game to build a roller coaster underground or can you only build a custom one yourself? Because i saved the design of a coaster that was 98% underground, but the game will only put it above ground. Only the entrance was above ground in the original. I would prefer not building it again step by step.

>>468109
Think it is custom only, unless the entire thing is underground.

>>467657

>All these beautiful parks
>I can't get involved

I've never been more unhappy to be on holiday.

>>467365

Looks like that goes way too quickly through those corkscrews. Also, having that change in slope before the loop is a bad idea.

>>468109

You can't raise or lower saved ride designs, and that includes lowering it below ground level.

>>467647
Just realized, you cut out my favorite part of my park. The double stacked Egyptian Temple in the corner. Also, I did put two stalls under the pyramid.

>>467628
>The vandalism here is really bad
I know I'll vandalize more stuff, that should make it better.

Just looking over the last thread.
>The Voyage at Holiday World
That's within two days driving distance of where I am, I must go there some time.

>>468364
I still haven't figured out why vandalism is rampant in every single collab park.

>>468381

Just need to set better paths for handymen, mechanics, guards, and set the prices relatively low so guests don't complain when the rides are 10+ years old at the end of the collaboration.

>>468381
Missing guards

Both coasters are exactly the same, except for one turn, which is not banked on the 'bad' one. Never thought that that would have such an impact on the stats.

>>468447
>3.5 latral Gs
Ouch.

>>468447
Breaking your neck is very intense, but not very exciting. Unbanked turns cause broken necks. QED.

>>468381

People don't set paths for their handymen and mechanics. Every single collab park I've received has had the paths absolutely plastered in trash and vomit, and constant "x ride still hasn't been fixed" messages.

>>468470
>Breaking your neck is very intense, but not very exciting.
I always love this.

>hey dude you bust your neck on that coaster
>yeah but it was dull as fuck

You should add this to OP:

http://www.jumpjet.info/Classic-Games/Windows/RCT2/UCES/Avoiding_Loading_Issues.txt

>>468494
"intense" would mean not dull. "exciting" would mean not dull in a good way. I'm pretty sure that, say, getting knifed would be very distressing and intense and such, but you probably wouldn't describe it as "exciting". You are not "excited", you are in pain and fearing for your life. And "in pain and fearing for your life" is what high intensity rides are, while high-excitement rides are exhilarating and fun.

>>468556
You're boring.

>>468567

"I want to go on something more thrilling than 'Alleyway Shanking'"

>>468580
Okay, now that was funny.

>>468580
OK this is going to be the name of my first major coaster when I finally get around to downloading this game and having enough free time to play it.

Also

"Just looking at 'Alleyway Shanking' makes me sick"

I just build and saved 2 intertwined coasters.
Now when I try re-building them and start em, my game crashes. Any ideas?

Posted in the last thread but got no response. I just finished my first scenario in a long time, anyone want to give feedback?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/smgi78a4xr5xo7c/New%20Oakwood%20Springs.SC6

>>468616
Seems to be whenever I run a test on synchronized coasters.

>>468668
Correction, every time I try to run a self-designed coaster in sync, with the built-in coasters it works just fine. Strange.

>>468580
I read that as "Alleycat Blues" at first. I have Turtles in Time on my mind.

>not enough engineers
>NOT A SINGLE guard
>NOT A SINGLE entertainer
>not even paths, just one of the participants
>one or two of them didn't even have a bathroom

And I was fifth in the list!
I had to repair their broken benches and I hired a bunch of workers for them.

>>468493
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I hated the 3x3 v1 map I had to wrap up for that very reason. It was so bad I literally shouted out "FUCK THIS" and quit working.

>>469737
It drove me up the wall when I got a park where entire sections had no benches after high nausea rides like the Enterprise and very few benches/trash cans near food stalls.

About to attempt some Dinky Park, no land purchases.

The amount of thought that was put into this game is unreal.

>>468616
I'm having issues with some of my creations too.
I tried saving the ride with different names, different computers, with AD without scenery, changing one tile here and there: nothing.
I still don't know what the problem is.
What I'll do is that I'll take a screenshot of the ride and alt-tab to the the game and to the screenshot alternatively when building the ride.

I'm having issues with some of my creations too.

The saving works just fine, but I have issues when trying to build the ride.
First of all its thumbnail won't appear, second when I try to build it the game wither crahses or I manage to build "nothing". What I mean is that money is taken from me, I see the red $$$ floating on screen for a few seconds like when we normally build something, I hear the correct sound effect, but the ride never appears, not on the map, not in the rides list.

I still don't know what the problem is.

What I'll do is that I'll take a screenshot of the ride and alt-tab to the the game and to the screenshot alternatively when building the ride. That's all I can think of right now.

>>469894

Try playing Final Destination from the /v/ made scenarios

>>469513
Does this really work?

>Tip Number One
>Build footpaths close to the ride, or even better, a bridge across the ride at an exciting point.
>This allows guests walking around the park to see the ride in action at close quarters, which may entice them onto the ride.

>Tip Number Ten
>Use the gentle rides like monorail and miniature railway to allow people to see the best bits of the park.
>This will make the ride more exciting, and will also entice them onto the more thrilling rides later.

Are guests really enticed to ride other rides when they see them up close?

>>470003
They are from Chris Sawyer, so I would assume so.

>>469779
Does it really work to put benches just after an intense ride and trash bins near food stall?
Do you not have any problems with vomit and garbage after?

I mean, I just spam benches and bins all over my parks, always.

>>470003

It adds excitement when paths are near rollercoasters, with queue lines adding the most.

This article is really helpful:

>>470018
Benches after high intensity/nausea rides always lower the amount of puke on paths. You only need a few. Benches also control where people sit after buying food which means you can keep litter bins nearby. Not everyone sits to eat so you still need litter bins around the park but when most of the people sit you can control where the litter will be most concentrated and put the trash cans and handyman patrols there.

>>470050

Do peeps actually sit on the benches when sick? I never see mine do

>>470053
They should. Put the benches on the path directly outside of the exit. You'll get some assholes who still walk away but the most sick people will sit.

>>470053
Some do. Though most just complain about being sick, sit down, then get right back up, usually to get back on the ride that made them sick.

>>469831
You said it!

"I've heard you can change the names of guests to create evil characters who wreak havoc in the park - Is this true?"
>No! There are many rumours going around that the game includes special features triggered by typing in names of terrorists or other evil characters, but these are entirely untrue. Action will be taken against any web site or publication which perpetuates these untruths and tries to link RollerCoaster Tycoon, one of the most non-violent games of modern times, with these violent and evil characters.

oh god

>>470207

>>470207
>most non-violent game of modern times
>you can fucking kill people by drowning them or by destroying them in crashes

This goddamn 4x4.
At this point it's probably best just to close the damn park and wait for everyone to filter out, since when 100+ guests are wanting to go home something's gone terribly wrong.

>>467589

Absolutely! As long as there's plenty gorgeous pics like that.

>>470750
They're probably trapped somewhere.

>>470776
It seems that they're trying to path towards the 'main' exit, which of course it the one that has nothing on it right now.
Guess that does solve the issue of where I'm placing my stuff, then.

>>467953

I can create decent mountains but I make shitty fucking lakes.

The key with mountains is starting at your highest point and creating a gradual downslope from the top. Determine what kind of mountain you're making - does it have a plateau? Are you going to build a ride along it?

Pic is an artificial dune I built in Arid Heights, which is one of my first mountains. I haven't done like any extensive work like your pic but it's easy to get started.

>>470802
Rubber Ducky returns!

>>468019

At this point I've failed too many times so my answer to that question is quickly becoming saving my track designs and making multiple save states so I can revert to earlier in the year.

What i've figured out with the higher guest scenarios is that you have to rally the advertising from like day one in order to make a dent in beating it. You may not have enough to appease the masses at first, but your guests will be happy enough just watching rides being built as you expand. The fact that the game provides park rating bonuses for construction makes things a lot easier for coaster builders.

>>467542
huh.

>>470830
You could always go the jew way and scamkart your way through.

I left my RCT2 open overnight for 9 hours and this happened.

Any idea for a name for this monster? My roller coasters all have monster names, so want to keep that theme.

>>471096
How horrible.

>>471109

Isn't there a rat guy from the Rampage games? Name it after that.

>>471180
He's a wolf.

>>471109
Mouser, after the boss from Super Mario Bros. 2.

>>471180
>>471206

Larry the Rat was in Rampage 2, Universal Tour.

>>471219
Oh shit, how did I forget about him?

>>470802
>>470813
The Rubber Ducky guy!
I hope you have built a rubber ducky in your spot for the collab park.

>>471096
I keep looking back at this
>the crashed ride
>the horde of zombies trapped in one area
>every path accessory has been broken for years

Alright /vr/. Tonight is when I nail this scenario.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Exg_VRYfEz8


High price food, make them walk, and no ATM's.

>>471096
Allow me to tell you why.
as you can see,guests really like that Wild Mouse ride in the upper right corner.
But when it crashed guest waited for it to open
and waited
and waited...
>but lyra,why did it crash?
Simple,that last hill is causing your "mice" to
come in too fast and absolutely wreck your
station brakes until, eventually, you get the
deadly station brake failure and a crash.

I did it. The park is somewhat functional again. Some paths and some flat rides had to go, but those are sacrifices I'm willing to make.

...granted it'll probably need some more serious work by someone else, but at least it's not flatlining now.

I think I hit the peak of monster names, unless I can figure out how to get another coaster in there and name it King Ghidorah.

>>471607

Ghidora needs to be a triple racing rollercoasteer.

>>471634
True (don't have the patience for that). Any ideas for this one then?

>>471383
I've never beaten this one.

>>471762

Baragon

>>471830
Yeah, was trying to decide between that and Rodan.

SO happy i found this thread. Best fucking game ever.

>>471849

Well Baragon burrows, so he was the first thing that came to mind for me.

I gave up on Africa, just because that shit ended up being way more frustrating than I wanted it to. (For some reason I have a far less problem getting things done on Aminity Airfield, but Victoria Falls is a fucking dumb scenario imho.)

So I decided to do wood st-

Oooh god, pathing.

SOON...

>>471927
Fair enough.

I built Tokyo Tower using a launched free fall right next to Godzilla. Along with Baragon it got Godzilla's excitement up by almost .6.

>>471992
Amity Airfield was easy. It's Africa that's the hard one. I don't even know why too.

a couple of stupid questions...

How would i go about doing a collaborative park?

is RCT 1 or 2 perefered?

>>472157

Check out the google doc for the collab parks. It's all done in RCT2.

>>472157
RCT2 only. After that go to the google doc page in OP and sign up.

>>472167

THis one?

>>472207
Yes.

>>472292
Thanks.

This old fart is a bit slow sometimes with the technology haha

i wish computers were carburated, then i could fix them.

Going to work on Double Park Special tomorrow after school, should have it done on Thursday.

>>471467
Lyra?

from run escape?

>>471992
I just finished Africa. Some of the things I did?
>no bathrooms
>no ATMs
>entrance fee around $50-60
>food and drinks around $3-5

I also found that adding trees (that cost $120 each) or keeping the scenery really adds to the park value. So I just spammed those around all the rides.

Reading through these threads made me want to try and find any screens I had of parks and rides I made before I stopped playing a while ago.

Then I found a scenario I made for shits and kind of abandoned and didn't finish. I'm tempted to go back and finish it and actually add a legitimate objective to it but I don't know where to go from there.

>>471992
I never build anything even near that rock-stage. Kinda feels like the game wants you to build something there, but it's so far away from anything.

What would you guys say is the best coaster? I like the multidimensional coasters. Twister is a close second

Hey, is there any hack than make all rides/sceneries available?
The 19 and 128 limit is bogus

>>474618
I imagine it's a memory limitation, the program allocates only so much memory that can be used for things like rides and scenery.

>>474907
Where we are now is everyone saying more than 8GB of RAM is useless

>>474907
He never actually said that. It's a myth.

Hey LSM!sDJkMnikdk, I sent the save file to you yesterday but I didn't see any updates to the spreadsheet nor did I get a reply from you. Did you get the email?

Finally finished my section. Sorry it took so long.

Here's a pic

>>475107
Yeah, I'm waiting for kadybat to get on with it, myself.

What's with everyone suddenly taking so long?

>>470802
Okay, I think I might have underestimated or rather overestimated the efficiency of the game the effort it takes to create a beautiful park that has a lot of height differences.

Done a little work on it

>>475389
Looks nice actually

cut a part into that mountain opposite the water and make a waterfall there

>>475389

Get 8cars, it will allow you to have massive sizes of terrain-mover and also enables the mountain-tool that's otherwise only available in the scenario editor.

>>475416
>and also enables the mountain-tool that's otherwise only available in the scenario editor.
DUDE WHAT

>>475421
There's a mountain tool in the editor, you didn't know that?
When you're selecting sizes, scroll all the way down. The size under the 1x1 square is the mountain tool.

>>475435
Yeah I know that, but I didn't know 8cars could let you go into the mountain tool in the regular game

>>475446

It's pretty damn useful. For example in the collaborative parks, or any park that has infinite money.

Does anyone have the 3DS game, or has played it?

>>474539
Damn, that long? Will we ever see a new RCT? I liked riding rides and the swimming stuff in RCT3 but there were a lot of things that bugged me.

>>475648
I haven't, but looking around it sounds and looks like it's really restricted in terms of how you build your coasters. Also lacking a lot or rides and things and the controls look really finicky.

>>475671

RCT? Maybe not.

Am currently cautiously optimistic about this, though.

http://behindthethrills.com/2013/04/theme-park-studio-continues-quest-to-be-most-amazing-theme-park-game-ever/

>>475689

Yeah, most reviews aren't great, but I wonder if the ability to build and ride coasters on the go isn't worth it anyway.

May wait for a bargain bin pick-up, though.

>>475671
Why do people do this? Don't wish for modern day sequels to games you loved a decade ago, all it'll do is trample on everything that was once good in the series and you'll just end up going back to the old one anyway.

Unrelated games of very similar objective are fair game however, such as
>>475916
That's probably your best bet.

>>475916
Looks disturbingly like Spore, but maybe that's a good thing if the customization is just an option (and EA isn't whispering "googly eyes" into Will Wright's dreams). I'd rather see some actual themeparks though, not just some 3D editing software.

Kinda sad: after landscaping for hours I got pretty fucking efficient at this shit.

I think I'm finished with the hills, what do you say?

>>476375
It looks awesome. I wanna play on it!

Throw in some more trees now

River above the waterfall is disgustingly straight. Make it more crooked and it might look a bit more natural. Otherwise nice hills.

Enough for today

>>476415
Good point.

>>476252
How far does the train fly if you launch it at that speed? Does it fly beyond the entire Sandbox Park?

>>475916
The coaster physics are pretty bad at the moment, though.

I'd like it if Pantera would answer more questions. I'm still wondering if it'll be on Steam.

8/10 would build coasters to conform to the landscape

I've never been happier with a little section of a park as I am with this. Completely satisfied? No, I could have done better with Rodan, but I'll take this.

Arrgh, why do so many scenarios always feel the need to have wide pathways instead of normal ones

There he goes!

After 5 - 8 seconds, it went so high it went of the map, but its still flying.

>>477063
It has flown so much off-screen I can't see it crash.
So I'm gonna turn it down to 500 km/h

it's called solar shard (not sure about the name yet), gonna make some rock/crystal type of thing in the middle lake and in some parts of the jungle, which will be 'the source of warmth' in the place. Planning to make the low parts jungle/jurrasic themed with some desert maybe and the upper parts will be snow/castle(gray) themed. anyone got some suggestions for additional themes?

>>474523
It doesn't surprise me you're Dutch. RCT was a really big thing here.

>>478789

>>478789

Another update. Tried my best to make the canyon look at organic as possible. Added high way.

>>478964
It's completely unnatural for canyon walls to just jut out like that, with the surrounding area being level with the river. Use the Grand Canyon as an example. The surrounding area is going to be roughly level with the top of the walls, or even higher. There might be slight dips, but nothing anywhere close to that.

>>479029

I guess I should have thought of that a long time ago before I put all the land up to the max.

>>479174

Use the 8 cars trainer to set your land adjuster to some really huge size

Couple pictures from my new park

Also, how do I get in on one of those collab parks? I got some good ideas

>>479854
I wonder if anyone's mapped out what that park would've been like had Chernobyl never happened. I'd be interested in seeing what it'd look like in RCT.

>>473616
Wait, can you really get away with changing the entrance fee to 50 at the beginning of the game?
I thought that having an extremely high entry fee discourages people from coming.

>>479889
It's just like real life parks dude, some of them charge really high for entrance, food and souvenirs, but with free rides. Busch Gardens charges $85, or $129 if you go to SeaWorld too. Disney World is $94.79 per park. In RCT, that strategy just charges them a lot for entrance, has no bathrooms or ATMs so they leave quickly, but happy to keep the park rating high, which increases profit due to a high guest turnover.

>>479937
>that feel when you're three hours from Cedar Point and their entrance fee is $54.99
Damn, we have it good here.

>>479937
.... I never knew that.
This is going to be laughable, but the only amusement park I've been to is Kings Island near Cinci down here in Columbus, OH. I guess the Kalahari in Sandusky, OH too if that counts.

Maybe I should start saving up over the summer and taking the weekend out to drive to amusement parks.. I never knew they overcharged -that- much. I knew events over-charged, but I didn't know it was that bad.

>>479958
Damn, and I thought LaRonde was costly

>>480063
Yeah, amusement parks are one-time summer events for me, they do cost quite a bit. Summer carnivals are dirt-cheap compared to them but not the same (no roller coasters)

>>480078
Well, after Colossal-con ends during the first weekend of June. I'm usually free of cosplaying up until Otakon; which is at the end of August this year.

I'm here in Columbus OH, so outside of Sandusky, or Kings Isle, is there anything else in the Midwest worthwhile driving out to? It could make good reference for when I do get back into playing RCT after the trip is done.

>>478048

So much nostalgia.

>>480887
>wanting to remember Windows 98
If you actually used it, you'd prefer to forget it

>>480898
He might be talking about 98 SE, which was good. Or at least not the disaster that 98 FE was.

>>480956
I've used 98SE and still lost count of how many times it self-destructed (albeit some of them were due to loose memory sticks in my PC)

>>480971
Until XP, 98SE was my OS of choice and I never had more problems than I did with 95. 98FE was garbage but they fixed most of it with SE.

It was 95, but 95 couldn't play RCT2 and didn't have drivers for my video card, so I put in 98SE.

Okay, so. I've Installed the game, and played around with the scenario editor a bit...

I'd like to get involved but I'm just a little fuzzy on the details, if someone could fill me in?

This is what I've come up with.

I've changed the lake in the middle to be a group of smaller lakes, will

mass of water.
anyone have any ideas which scenery themes i should use here? I
already picked jungle, jurrasic, snow, mine, pirate, pagoda and water,
but i got doubts about... well, any except for water and mine(cuz mines
looks good in any nature-like landscape)

>>483906
>>483930
Gonna be map first, then, if i feel like it, i'm gonna make it a park. at first i also thought about foliage only, but now that i think about it, it will look quite boring.
would love to add some of the expansion themes, but i can't decide which
also got ideas of making some sci-fi (abstract and mechanical included) parts, making a nice contrast between calm, naturalistic green-brown and scientific, industrial gray-red
egyptian could make nice contrasting wet-hot and dry-hot regions
creepy might look nice on top of those cliffs, maybe somewhere deep in the jungle, same for castles

basically anything could look great, the only ones which i wouldn't like to see in this one are wild west, wonderland, giant candy, urban and sports

>>483943

and panda of course

>On May 16, 1999, a 365 lb (165 kg) guest was unable to close his lap bar properly and was ejected and fell approximately 9 feet from the Ride of Steel roller coaster as the ride went over a "camel hump" hill, suffering serious injuries. He sued the park and the ride manufacturer for negligence, and was awarded US$3.95 million.

>Too fat for a roller coaster
>Sues the park and the manufacturer when he falls off the ride

>>483980
reminds me of that woman who sued mcdonalds when she split coffee on herself

>>483967
if by panda u mean the chinese one, then no, it's huge and would greatly limit the possible variety of themes in the par, and the variety is neccesary, since the park is quite big and single theme would make it look boring

>>483980
>>483986

To be fair, they shouldn't have allowed him on.

>>484023
That's certainly true.

Can't see why he sued the ride manufacturer as well though.

>>484023
Sure but there are signs with several warnings on them considering age, size, weight and health problems in front of every coaster.

>>484032
guess they had no warnings back in 1999, since there were a lot less fatass-ness in the world

>>484030
>>484032

Also true. I guess it depends on whether he was within the stated constraints or not.

>In 1976, a woman filed a lawsuit claiming one of the Three Little Pigs ran up to her at the "It's a Small World" attraction, grabbed at and fondled her while exclaiming "Mommy! Mommy!"

>On November 27, 2009, the ride broke down while a quadriplegic guest was on the ride. The guest was stuck in the Goodbye Room for between 30-40 minutes before being evacuated. As he suffered from medical conditions that was aggrevated by the "blaring music" and inability to exit the ride, he sued Disney for not having adequate evacuation procedures for disabled guests on that ride, and for not providing the proper warning developed for those who could not evacuate during a ride stoppage. On March 26th, 2013, a jury awarded the man $8000

>A 1981 case tried a cast member who was playing Winnie the Pooh in 1978. It was alleged that he slapped a child and caused bruising, recurring headaches and possible brain damage. The cast member testified that the girl was tugging at his costume from behind. When he turned around, he accidentally struck the girl in her ear. At one point, the cast member entered the courtroom in the Pooh costume and responded to questions while on the witness stand as Pooh would, including dancing a jig. Appearing as Pooh showed the jury that the costume's arms were too low to the ground to slap a girl of the victim's height. The jury acquitted the cast member after deliberating for 21 minutes.

The case went to trial, where the jury's deliberation lasted less than one hour. The employee was acquitted of all charges and returned to work at Disney.

It gets better:
>In September 2004, a Disney employee who had been accused for a different act previously [the one above] was suspended for allegedly shoving two Kodak employees while he was dressed as Goofy at Animal Kingdom on August 29, 2004. The two photographers believed that Goofy was a different employee who was joking around until they were relaxing backstage and saw it was not their friend. The cast member's attorney stated that the two photographers shoved back as part of routine horseplay among employees meant to entertain. The sheriff's office was considering misdemeanor charges. During the investigation, two Animal Kingdom employees came forward saying the cast member had touched their breasts. The lawyer claimed that the cast member was merely looking at their lanyards containing lapel trading pins.

Detroit has this elevated rail system downtown that has always been called the People Mover. It's the perfect name for a monorail.

>2-tile wide paths
Stop that

Do you have bins and seats placed down on your paths? That might help

>>485057

Shorten the queue lines for rides where people are complaining, and/or hire entertainers zoned to those queues.

More toilets.

Are you putting bins on your paths?

Put first aid stations at the exits of rides that make people sick, as well as benches.

Read this article on pathing. Also, I recommend avoiding wide paths, they look good but cause problems.
http://www.rctmart.com/fossil/PathingSystems.html

Have you raised the prices of shops and rides beyond the default? You can easily double them for most things, coasters depend on their ratings.

Heartline twist coasters are shit, don't build them.

How big are your handiman zones? Also, double paths cause trouble for handimen as well.

>>485097
I put bins near shops but people always destroy it after a while.
No bench either.
Yes i rised my price.
I do 1,30profit on food and drink
2,30 on goods
and i put umbrella to 15£ when it's raining, but i don't know the "best price" for shops.

Handyman zone have 2 to 3 zone. One handyman per path, but they seem to walk everywhere but where junk are.

>>485142

Watch what your handymen do then. They're probably running in circles because of the 2-field wide paths. Dirty paths lead to angry guests, who break stuff.

>>485142

Use guards as well in areas of high guest concentration or high number of benches.garbage bins.

>>485142
No bins, benches, security guards, but above all, having your paths being more than two tiles wide, seem to be the problem.

If you know what you're doing and I mean you're an EXPERT, you can get away with 2 tile wide paths. Otherwise, always stick to 1 tile wide.

>>485216
more than one tile wide*

In general, set the price of a ride to the same as its excitement rating. There are some exceptions but that's a good rule of thumb to follow.
