1.1.0 Update Notes (December 12th)
Hayo Park Managers!

From December 12th, you’ll be able to update your game to enjoy a host of additions and enhancements arriving in our first major update for Planet Coaster 2. These include highly requested changes such as separate loading and unloading stations, UI and control adjustments, the ability to customise tracked and transport rides, a new heatmap for guest tolerances, glass scenery pieces, enhanced guest movements on flumes, and much more.

  • Flumes/slides will now never close, even if the guests end on terrain/paving
  • Guests don't react negatively to flumes that end on terrain/paving and may choose to ride it again
  • Note: flumes can still be flagged as exceeding g-force limit, and whilst they can still be opened, guests may not choose to use them
  • Guests will start using Flumes while the previous guest is riding down, allowing for faster throughput. This can be adjusted by players per flume.

Seems pretty good. A bit bummed there's not really anything about guests actual behavior- how many flood into parks with nothing in them, how they leave and come back at random as a huge group, how they beeline to the newest ride in a huge line and 90% of the guests who get to it turn around at the queue, how they have to get to a queue before they decide if they actually want to ride something, etc. I hate having 1300 guests in a park with 2 rides.

When can we expect the custom music and screens?

Also, 10 dollars for 5 rides is a pretty bad price.

In The Sims 4, here's what 10 dollars gets you:

32 pieces of furniture, each with usually 5-12 swatches
24 pieces of clothing/hair, each with usually 5-10 swatches

(I merntion the swatches because it indicates that the devs had to hand-make additional texture options for everything, as part of the process- for things like paintings this means entirely new pieces of art, too)

And a gameplay feature: With this example, the feature is the ability to craft one of almost 48 pieces of jewelry- each uniquely modeled. Each jewelry piece has a special effect when charged by the moon depending on the gemstone used, and can be made in ANY combination of metals and gemstones found in the game. Additionally, you can now cut those gemstones into any of 13 new shapes like diamond shapes or skulls or whatever.

Comparatively, "5 rides, 3 of which you can barely discern from the existing ones, and 2 coasters, which only obsessives are gonna see a difference on" for 10 bucks is...just...not great.

(I'm also not a huge fan of a Premium edition coming out a month after launch which includes said DLC and would've been a better value than preordering the game...you shouldn't be insulting the pre-order players.)

I wish they would too. I'm sad there's no Christmas decorations.
Kuno Dec 12, 2024 @ 5:33am 
I would love to see more decorations for ghost trains

More and more and more bugs...
KitsuneRisu Dec 12, 2024 @ 5:51am 
I've been getting a new bug... I now cannot remove large bodies of water with right-click.

It still works for small bodies, but for large ones, I hear the 'bloop' sound but the water does not get removed. Hope this can be addressed soon -- it's preventing me from working on an area that had been 'flooded'.

where is the setting to change to fahrenheit?
nanaki yamabushi Dec 12, 2024 @ 8:13am 
Is the DLC in Deluxe, if yes... IT does not get triggered.
But yeah 10$ for 5 rides is steep, especially with no extra decoration.

For the rest. good big patch on fixing stuff. Keep up the good work with the fixes.
Just a suggestion for the visitor limit... Can it be tied to CPU and RAM, for the max limit. So that those with a strong high end PC can get even more visitors, so it is scaled to one their PC (so long it does not mess with the game engine).

i Love this game so much and this update, Except i cant import music, and idk if they added it or not but i cant use it or find it, and im REALLY disappointed.
Lishdog35 Dec 12, 2024 @ 9:38am 
In franchise mode the notifications are no longer working properly. I see the number of notifications but they are all blank and I can no longer dismiss them. My game is also crashing when I hit the upload button to exit the park.
Morp Dec 12, 2024 @ 9:41am 
Game crashes when I open the path tool. Cant not even change path color/skin or the type of path. About a moment later it crashes. Game takes forever to load anything. Workshop keeps saying its downloading stuff with no end. Patch made game unstable for me and unplayable =(. Telling people to not install patch it and play offline till an update is made.
WangBaiTe Dec 12, 2024 @ 9:58am 
This update is out today but at this moment (19H00 CET) I still haven't seen it in Steam for download. In the past all my updates arrived at 15:00 or 16:00 CET. Has the schedule changed?
Also I have the premium edition will I get the DLC automatically?

So many people are happy with the game right now.
And that's why if you go on their customer support website you are greeted with a nice banner :

Ticket Wait TimesDue to an increase in the volume of support requests we're currently experiencing longer than expected response times. Please rest assured we will respond to every ticket as soon as possible.


HAHAHAHA
Good job Frontier . People seems to be pissed
