Park Entrance Not connected, People not spawning

[Coasterfrenzy]

Hi Guys.

Not the first topic with this name. But So far I'm unable to find out what the problem is.

The game keeps nagging that my park entrance is not accessible from the outside world. But they all seem te be perfectly fine. It also complaints that the exit of Conny Express cannot be reached from a park entrance. Which - as you can see - is also nonsense.

Anybody any clue?

if any other screenshots or things are needed, just let me know.

IIRC this is an old bug, unless you're getting lost guests you don't need to worry about it.

Well.. the thing is: Guests won't even spawn either.. I assumed it was because of this.

Meanwhile I removed all entrances to leave only one.. but no matter what I do: the error will still keep coming.

Meanwhile I triple-checked if the path from the spawning points (4) connects properly to the spawning points and the entrances (I once accidentally removed an access path on the spainpoint-side).. but that doesn't seem to help either.

Uhm, You need a gate between the spawn point and the park.

Your spawn points are outside the boundry..

Are the gates the correct way around?? Yes they are two-way so that guests can get in and out but I think they need the right orientation to firstly let guests in. Just a guess.

[grampers62]

So... Items between the gates and the spawn points are not accessible. This is normal. As the pics do not show anything other than the entrance tell us if anything else exists in your park. Those items outside of the gated entry area should all work as normal.

I double Checked.. and yes, they are. Text is readable for people that enter and the gates point into the park.

I removed all buildings for the screenshots above to double check the pathing. But you got a good point. I had toilets and an Info Stand connected to the outside of the park (like some theme parks have). So I removed them. However: That didn't solve the issues. The error is still coming up and there are still no people spwawning.

I added a screenshot with theming. As you can see from the holes: I already removed the toilets (left) and the info stand (right). The other "shop openings" are just theming. There is no shop in there.

People will spawn in the building at the bottom of the screenshot, then go to the semi-circular path (maybe via the roundabout, depending on spawn location) to the park entrances. From there they enter another semi-circular path that leads to the main street who's access is under the castle. The castle contains the first ride: A steam train (conny express).

After a long main street there is also a Hotel and a restaurant in the middle of the park. They don't need a separate park entrance, do they?

Edit: Nope: Tried that as wel, still the same error.

Now you need to look closely at the paths to and from the rides. Queue paths only go to ride entrance. Ride exits must use regular path sections. Hotels and restaurants connect with regular path tiles too. If your train or transport ride has multiple stations they must all be connected weather they are open or not.

As i said before, your spawn points are OUTSIDE the park boundary.... therefore there is no entry/exit to the outside world (spawn points). people cant get in, and that is why you are getting the messages... move the spawn points inside the doted line, and all should be ok.

Thank you. I tried this and it works.

Really odd, most parks have it outside the boundary and in a tutorial I found they even advise placing it outside. However: I think I can find a way t move them inside the boundary. Thank you!

Glad your park's working now, but you're right, that's strange. Most parks (including all the career scenarios and all the scenario starters) have the spawners outside the park boundry, that shouldn't've been the problem.

I have multiple parks with spawn points outside of the playable area. But perhaps that edge puts it beyond the mapable area?

Might be.. I maxxed the park size, so maybe there is the issue in it.
