Too much clicks for a PC game

[Crocodïlus]

Played the game for 100 minutes and loved PC1 and all the ones before. Here I'm struggling as a desktop player. There are a lot of clicks involved to go to bulldozer mode, leaving the menu window where I was busy. I want to click the left mouse button or press ESC to activate such a mode. It makes building a path or an object difficult and time-consuming.

Also, building a pool with the line tool is frustrating. If you want to follow a certain edge but make a mistake and click the left mouse key, for example, you need to start all over. You should be able to go back just one node when clicking left, not forfeit all the lines made together.

You can really see and feel that console players are better off. I'm still doubting about getting a refund, as the game looks great and it's fun to have swimmingpools again. But still doubting.

Frustrating at times with all the clicks and overwhelming full-page menus

its onle click on the bulldozer at the bottom right. how is one click too much. i am giving you a fake clown as you dont deserve free points.

Its not one click. when you in some building menus or stuff like that, you have to close each good damn window to get bacxk to the default task bar to click on the bulldozer icon. This raise another question. WHERE THE F*** IS THE KEYBINDING/SHORTCUT FOR THE BULLDOZER. Why it can not be "B" e.g.

Why are you bulldozing so much?

For misbuilding you could use the delete key or even m or X to replace/move the asset.
For paths just use 'undo' out of all tools, the bulldozing tool is the tool i rarely use

In PC1 you can right-click the mouse to delete items (path, queues, building pieces etc.) This doesn't work anymore in PC2

I think it is very excessive to open a pricing menu to see all prices and in order to edit each price it opens a whole new box to edit one price. It should be like PC1 where you just simple edit all prices directly on the original prices menu.

As you can read from others, it's not just one click, plus going back to where you left. All good builder games have a good short cut to bulldozing without leaving the menu where you are busy in.

Exactly this, thank you.

Designed and optimised for consoles, so shouldn't be a surprise.

no little corporate slop defender.

it is the fact that you have to navigate trough a thousand menu's to get to what you want.
whilst in planco1 and planet zoo, everything you need is there. when you need it.

planco2 has a good UI, for consoles. where you can quickly swap trough menu layers using the D-pad or the L1 and R1 bumpers or buttons, or the triggers on the controller.

its a not so good UI for Windows Users. we do not have buttons to quickly swap trough menu layers and have to do that with the mouse.

also no click and drag for the multiselect tool.

have fun when you need to select 100 induvidual plants when you decide you want to shift them 10 meters to the left.

I'm not defending anything. It's on a pc. You're expected to use a mouse (unless you're using a controller too which a lot of people do even through the steam UI, it doesnt have to be a console). Its a unified release.

If anything since it's on PC as well there's a way to modify the behavior. People are blowing it up more than it seems. I can't predict what changes they'll make, but there's ways to change bindings, that I haven't had to look into, but here's hoping they make shortcuts easier.

And I'm someone who doesn't mind going through menu after menus when games don't explain much of anything. It happens.

There actually is a click and drag for the multi select tool, i used it earlier in PC2 to move two plants.
