Adding a Park Entrance Gate (Spanwing Point?)

[rdwoolf]

I have a few questions about adding an additional Park Entrance Gate:

1) Can guests exit out these additional Entrance Gates? All I see is a lot of people with comments about wanting to leave the park walk up to the additional Entrance Gate and then turn around and walk back into the park instead of leaving it. Can guests only exit the park from the original Entrance Gate/Spawning Point?

2) Do the yellow gate "doors" always have to point into the park? Or if I place them pointing out of the park will that allow guests to exit? Or does the direction of the gates not matter?

3) I read a comment elsewere that said guests can only spawn from the original spawning point and not at any additionally placed Entrace Gates. I am assuming this is NOT correct as I do see guests spawn from the additional Entrace Gates I added (if I also spend money on marketing). Or am I misunderstanding what the other person meant?

I'd like to know this as well from what I have seen guests dont "spawn" at the placeable park entrances but only at the spawning pc designed zone usually tucked off the map somewhere. BUT guests DO appear i think randomly at entrance gates if you remove paths they are standing on.

2 things are needed the Spawning Point, where the people appear and usually hidden in the given park, and the Park Entrance that allows them in the park (within the shops tabs). You can add as many spawning points as long as you have a Park Entrance to let them in and out

How do you add a spawning point?

[HeatherG]

It’s within the scenario editor

[rdwoolf]

Ah, I have never used the Sceneo Editor. Just the Scenareos themselves. So you are saying if I go into the Scenario Editor I can add another spawning point behind the new Entrance Gate I added within a specific scenario....right? If so, that makes so much more sense now. Thanks.

I should've watched this very helpful video from Ms.RedNebula first. It explains what I was missing:

oh yeah rdwoolf that's where that nice feature is hidden away.. Good ol Scenario Editor
it's so great because if you want to be in all different places of your park having more spawn points it helps! Bigtime! Spreads people out quit nicely

[rdwoolf]

If I edit a scenario that I had already started and it still has challenges to do in it....and then I edit that scenario to have additional spawning points.....do I lose pre-set challenges in the scenario? So far, that has been my experience. I was hoping to add spawning points and then go back to playing the scneario to continue the challenges.

If you put any of the scenarios into Senario Editor mode you cannot achieve any of the objectives. It's kinda cheating to modify the conditions of a scenario.

You don't actually have to go into secenario editor. In the early version of the game spawn points could be placed just like entrances. Some guys did save these on the workshop so if you subscribe to them you just can place them in your park.

But still : as mentioned before, do not forget the entrance.

That is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks.

Still works in 2023.

Go to "My Blueprints" in the bottom menu tabs, click "Go to Steam Workshop" over on the right. In the search box, type spawn and click the search icon. I used the one from @Stuntman707

My thought is, if it was part of the original game, then it should be left alone. How many real theme parks only have one entrance/exit?

An added spawn point does not increase the likelihood of more park attendance. Marketing, short ride queues and quality staff do.

Don't switch to the Scenario editor and back or you will lose your park history. (all financial data and ride prestige etc. will clear) Your park attendance maximum will lock, and there are probably other restrictions as well.

Challenge mode is definitely restrictive with park size because it's a challenge to make a medium sized park, maintain it and watch it grow. If you need the largest park, sandbox is the place to be.

Actually, probably quite a large number of them nowadays, now that they have to screen for knives and guns and outside food.

I remember back in the day, at Knott's Berry Farm, you could walk in off the street from any of four sides, and just start wandering around. You paid to get on rides, but there was no admission fee. You could set up a picnic, right there on the lawn in front of the place, or any number of grassy areas inside. Chickens wandered freely around the parking lot.

Damn I'm old.

Today, there are two entrances (I think) with metal detectors.
