Mechanics

[im_hockey]

Oh my gosh. The tutorial on this game sucks big time. Can someone please explain how to assign mechanics to a ride? There is a big circle, but I run out of circles after a certain number of them...and I don't know where to place the circles if they are smaller than the ride. My rides keep breaking, and I have been playing without assigning, which only works for a while. My park is big now, and it just isn't working anymore. PLEASE HELP!

I've had a similar issue. I think it's best to have about one mechanic per 3 rides, which means quite a few mechanics for a large park. Also don't put all of the mechanic buildings in one place, place them near the rides that they will service, because they seem to go back to their base when they have nothing to work on, which means they can take forever to walk back to the ride when it breaks down.

Your circles indicate the path that your mechanics will service, so the circles just needs to connect to one another. You'll also notice the ride highlighted when you put a circle on it, that should mean that the ride is covered by whatever mechanic you place inside that work area. Placing the mechanic in the work area is how you assign the mechanic to that work area. I've also noticed that the mechanics walk to the ride exits when repairing them, so I always make sure to cover the entire path of the ride exit just in case they don't know how to reach the ride exits when they need to repair the ride.
