Bumper/Paddle Boats Pathing Issues

[john_jet_au]

Both the Bumper Boats and Paddle Boats are getting stuck on the corner of the dock when they are trying to come back in, when the allocated time for the ride is up.

For the Paddle Boat it is the right hand side edge corner and so the park guest will just keep paddling, but make no progress in getting in, thus making the other boats unable to dock. I set the time to 3 mins 30sec for the ride, and watched the progress. After almost 15 mins - real time - of watching the boats trying to get in and failing I had to shut the ride down. Subsequent attempts seem to yeild the same result. It's as if the dock area in too small for the paddle boats size.

The same happens with the bumper boats as well, they just sit at the entry to the dock and only manage to move, when another boat nudges it. But the second boat will then sit at the entry until anther boat comes to nudge it to enter and so forth. Meaning the instead of the ride taking 3 mins it is taking anywhere upto 12 mins in total, before the next person can ride.

I've tried to reconfigure the layout, but no matter what I try, I end up getting the same results as there appears to be little in the way of actually customising the dock of the rides.

Hey, thanks for the report.
Could you please send your savegame where this is happening to [e-mail]?

UPDATE

It was suggested that I should move, the dock further out into the water, to allow more room for boats to move into position. So I tried that, but again same result. This time however the boats now get stuck on the left hand side of the dock as opposed to the right hand side, when closer to shore.

And this again prevents boats from re-entering the dock, to complete the ride and has an add on effect of preventing other boats from finishing as well.

This is STILL an issue! Having the same problems!.

Also, even bigger problem is the random 'Not enough space in water' message that seems to be completly random. When building the boat hire station, often the ride cant be opened and this message appears. It's not because of a lack of space (there was plenty) or depth (it happens on all depths). It also happens with all station lenghts, and its independent of entrance/exit placement or path placement too. Building 5 boat hires on the same lake might result in 2 of them not working while the other 3 do. It is really weird and frustrating. Sometimes, moving the ride 1 space to the left or right works, while the layout of the ride and the water depth are exactly the same. WEIRD.

PLEASE, FIX THE BOAT HIRE RIDE

All this applies to Bumper Boats too!!

RABA: if you find something isn't working as you think it should, please send the savegame where it's happening to [e-mail] so we can check it.

Boats getting stuck at station; (happens about every 10-15 minutes, forcing me to close and open the ride every time)

Will send save game the next time my boats get stuck again.


Boats also go through paths;

(Yes, placing buoys around it helps, but I feel like paths should be a 'natural' border.



The (seemingly totally random) error message

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1554417074

This message can pop up any time after placing a boat hire (in shallow water or deep water, with or without scenery or paths build around it, with all stations lenghs, close to land or far away from it). Once this message appears, nothing can be done to fix it. Changing water level, clearing all scenery, adding more water to increase size of the lake, I tried everything.

As you see on the screenshot, one of the 4 boat hire rides is unble to be openend, and the error message appears. I was gonna send this saved game, but SAVING THE PARK, CLOSING IT AND RELOADING THE SAVED GAME FIXED IT (this time) . After reloading, the boat hire from the screenshot could suddenly be openend, even though no changes were made to it or its surroundings.

I will try to find out of reloading always helps or if this was a one time thing. Still, this needs to be fixed, as I've seen this error a couple of times already.
