Don't understand scenery ratings

[jamesdharrison83]

So I'm currently trying to get my scenery ratings up in career on the princess map.
Been placing fireworks and speakers along que lines, loads of trees, dragon props everywhere and it's only going up by 1 or 2 after placing a load more speakers etc.

I somehow need to get a scenery rating of 160 and im on 120. The game is rubbish at explaining how to reach this as my park is lready looking super tacky with the amount of scenery props I have been placing :/

Am i doing something wrong or got any tips?

Amazingly, spamming the same kind of scenery over and over again has depreciating returns. How about try to actually make something instead of just spamming trees, dragon props, and speakers. Why would speakers add to your scenery rating? Use common sense.

Because thats what another article told me to do to get the ratings up. It said to use speakers most as they add the most return in terms of boosting the scenery rating up.
As for common sense, if the game properly explained these things to you I wouldn't have to ask and look up these articles would I?
Maybe someone else should be using common sense to understand that as new players do suprisingly have questions when the game doesn't teach or tell you these things!

People who have played the game since release don't really know how it works either.

However, it seems that the value of the props has a greater influence than quantity of props. So, a cheap building might cover the whole queue, but it won't be particularly impressive. You'll have a rating above 0 for sure though.

Duplicate props do have diminishing returns, that much is known.

Thx Admiral - good to know :)

The value of the scenery seems to inpact the rating most (as well as stuff that cost money to run)..if you search for the golden treasure chest it's like 10,000 each .. if you don't really care about scenery, you can put these underground and the rating goes up. Alternatively get some workshop items that are complex and put these in your park and they also makeit look nice.
