Building paths..

[schwing27]

Hey guys, I just purchased this game. I LOVE it. One of the first video games i ever really experienced and loved was roller coaster tycoon many years ago. This game brings back memories that for sure... but im really struggling with paths. Everything else seems perfect in this game except for building paths. Making flat open areas and connecting them takes up 99% of my time in game it seems. Any advice? are there videos that explain building paths? Maybe im doing something wrong.

Thanks

on my profile i have a guide about how to make blocks of path and connect them easier go check it out it might help you

Thank you. I will do that.

Everyone struggles with paths. One tip: It's much easier to build a path starting at a shop or ride and leading away from it than it is get an existing path to connect to a shop or ride.

"Z" button is a friend. As are grid options

Path building in this game is STILL a NIGHTMARE

I genuinely don't seem to struggle with it but I use an abnormal amount of switching between regular paths and grid paths and flatten terrain simply to get the correct shape.

For example, if you're building a set of steps that has a right angle corner in the middle. When you get to the corner, the steps should be levelled out to make a turning space, then switch on the grid and place 1 piece to make a perfect right angle corner, then switch off the grid to raise that 1 new piece up so it becomes steps again. That's one perfect corner that you can build walls around.

Another example, making sloped paths on the terrain. Place a piece of path, raise or lower the terrain around it but not over 4m height difference. then place a second piece of path on the raised/lowered terrain (not connected to the first path). Then, with Flatten Terrain switched on simply connect those 2 paths together for an automatic slope and a totally level path even if the path twists and turns.
