[steve]

I'm in the SD desktop & can't find where to place my own mp3 files, can't find any folders under user / documents??? Appreciate any advice please.

It should be: Documents > Frontier Developments > Planet Coaster > UserMusic

If your not on a Windows OS then i wouldn't really know if the dictionary path is different on other OS programs i've only ever uses windows OS ever in my life.

Yeah I'm using this on a steam deck thus linux which I'm not familiar with, I can't find a documents folder?

ahhhh... that's a slightly different kettle of fish... i have no idea what kind of tools you have available to you on a steam deck but if you can get behind the curtains and into the file system, the following information should be helpful and point you in the direction you need to go... assuming, of course, that the steam deck installation is similar to my Kubuntu installation...

ok, so the appid of Planet Coaster is 493340... remember this number... we'll need it later... under linux, windows games are played in a proton directory which holds the windows-type environment... what ever directory your games are installed into is where we need to start...

on my linux system, i install steam games into my "SteamGames" directory in my home directory... inside there, steam creates the directory "steamapps" which then contains numerous additional directories... "common" to hold the actual game files and "compatdata" to hold the "wine bottles" for the proton environments for each game... each game is stored in a directory named for its appid (remember that number from above?)... at this point, on my system, we're looking for "$HOME/SteamGames/steamapps/compatdata/493340" as the directory for the Planet Connect wine bottle...

now we go into that directory and into the "pfx" directory which contains the actual "wine bottle"... then into "drive_c" for the emulated C: drive... down to "users/steamuser" and now things should look familiar and more like windows directions show...

so, now with all of that explanation, on my system, i'm looking at $HOME/SteamGames/steamapps/compatdata/493340/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Frontier Developments/Planet Coaster/UserMusic

the first thing you are going to have to figure out is where your steam games are installed and use that directory in place of "SteamGames" that i use on my PC setup...

HTH!
