[Anonymous No.7884815]

Since security guards basically do nothing about vandalism except that it doesn't happen directly near that guard, the means of preventing vandals is just to keep happiness up with good rides, short queues, decor and a clean park.

But what if you chose to solve the problem with guards instead? Would your park have to have a fuckton to actually solve vandalism? Does the hypothetical "useful security guards" park just look like that scene out of the last Matrix movie with rows of smiths lined up watching?

For those parks, shop prices should be able to set to way more what would be considered the max a guest would pay for.

Is it worth making longer roller coasters for anything other than aesthetics? If you're just going for scenario wins should you just do smaller, faster coasters to maximize guest throughput?

[Anonymous No.7895567]

>>7895289
Yes, I find that generally going for that aesthetic Giga/Hyper-coaster in the last plot of your park, or that goes around the perimeter, to be the finishing touch, but there's an art to any custom-design ride that maximizes throughput at the same time. For example, I live buidling log flumes for the sake of making easy money, but I need to make sure I build it long enough to get the 31-car limit, all while making sure the runtime is under 5-6 minutes before guests complaining about wanting off on the ride.

So apply this mindset to coasters: You can make an aesthetic, realistic Giga with brake runs and loading tracks, but if it only has 3 trains, 12 cars and 5 minutes of track youre gonna have a short queue line or one with an entertainer or two to keep the satisfaction of waiting more than 6 minutues in line worth its keep.

Talking about the art of coaster-building, I used to build long stations for this reason to get the most trains and vehicle limits, running in Continous Circuit Mode. But true skill is having brake runs on your long rides for more trains, and just under the time limit.

[Anonymous No.7895590]

>>7895289
It doesn't matter how long the ride is if you utilize block sections properly.

[Anonymous No.7895964]

>>7895289
You shouldn't need to maximize efficiency for normal scenario play, just go with personal preference.

But since we all love pumping those numbers, keep in mind that a larger excitement+intensity rating does command more prestige in-game. And length is a good way to get both stats up. There's also less obvious perks to longer coasters, like the ability to store guests in line and on the ride.

[Anonymous No.7895981]

>>7895567
remember that guest happiness does NOT drop in a queue line segment that has a queue line TV in it. You can spam the shit out of them in longer lines for maximum retention.

there's some really simple rules to follow to get blocks to run smoother, and the most important is to RUN FEWER THAN THE MAX TRAINS.

put another block brake right in the last straight track before the station

[Anonymous No.7900574]

>>7899940
First block is initial lift hill, every block after is slightly shorter (duration not always distance), usually placed at the end of a flat section at the top of a hill or wherever I can get a train to slow down enough, last block section is the station including the amount of time it takes to load a train. This should prevent trains from stopping at block brakes and if it doesn't just run one fewer train. Don't hit block brakes going faster than about 49km/h or the train might just plow through them.

[Anonymous No.7900617]

>>7900574
protip: if you have few enough trains and good timing, you can ditch the brake run and just have the train plow through the mid-course block brake segment. If the next segment is guaranteed to be clear, it doesn't need to stop anyway

Is there a calculate to predict how many guests each ride will attract to your park? I tried building a nice rollercoaster and maximizing throughput, but it didnt matter because there werent enough guests to queue for it

[Anonymous No.7902520]

>>7902443
Not really, but there is a soft guest cap increase when you build rides of sufficient rating (don't know what that is)

It's kind of tricky to figure out how large to build coasters when you're starting out. I usually start my parks with 1 smaller coaster, like a shuttle loop or a wooden coaster with a height less than 100ft (30m)

Once you get to 500+ guests you can really start to get bigger. We're talking maybe 3 respectable coasters and however many smaller rides. I save the hypercoasters and high-capacity stuff for when I'm nearing 1000 guests. After you get around 1500, your park should be able to support just about anything, but if it's a very sprawled out layout, it might still need more.

[Anonymous No.7902868]

>>7902443
I don't even begin a rollercoaster until I have a minimum of 2 gentle rides and a thrill ride already, if not 2 thrill rides. This way I actually have people to ride the coaster when it's done.

I don't know where the fuck I got the idea from years ago and I think I just Mandela'd myself into thinking this but I SWEAR OpenRCT2 was experimenting with guest AI and they were trying to make guests treat transport rides as actual transport. Clearly a lot of other people in this thread think this is the case too but it's not in the game so I have no idea.

To answer your question, lmao no. I'm sure the ORCT team is going to work on that after they get the increased limits stable.

[Anonymous No.7906203]

I wonder what the problem with this is that's holding that change up. You have the exact time a transport takes to get from entrance to next exit all readily available to plug into a pathfinding choice to reach a far ride.

[Anonymous No.7906479]

>>7906326
Even adding 10 lines of code to give a guest some sort of autonomy could very significantly slow the game down, and the problem only gets worse the more guests there are, and they JUST raised the limit.

OpenRCT2, which runs over RCT2.

What the other anon said, but I will say I have a guilty pleasure for doing the scenarios in the original RCT1 itself, which not only has all of the superior scenarios but the superior way to play them for the most part.
RCT2/OpenRCT2 is better in every other possible way though.
