    A new series! In this video, I walk through the top tips I consider when creating realistic looking parks and the reasons for this. The first Lesson is PARK LAYOUT. find out how to lay out your park, what is needed in your park, how to decorate it and where to place everything to create a realistic planet coaster park. Following these tips will put you onto the right path to add some more realism to the parks you build!
    The series is split into 2 difficulty levels: BASIC and PRO. The idea is that if you are a new player or a console player without access to Theme Maker's Toolkit items then you can still create realistic parks but the Pro's amongst us can sink their teeth into the Pro level and really put their PC's to the test!
    Parks used in this video:
    (BASIC LEVEL) Jippety Point: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
    (PRO LEVEL) Raygate Lake: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
    Please consider subscribing if you also like to play Tycoon, City Builders and Simulation Games. There's a lot more videos coming and I'd love to have you come along with me!
    Whether you're looking for Planet Coaster Tips and Tricks for beginners, tips and tricks for planet coaster console, Planet coaster tips and tricks for building coasters, or just planet coaster hints and tips, this is the ultimate planet coaster real series for you. Other Planet Coaster Let's Play or Planet Coaster gameplay videos won't give you the real reasons why things are as they are. Where do you place rides, rollercoasters, shops, paths, plazas, car parks, entrance areas, tickets, turnstiles, maintenance sheds and so on? I'll tell you where as we up the Planet Coaster Realism game! This is more than just a Planet Coaster Tutorial; this is a Planet Coaster top tips series that makes you forget that the Oswold Eugene counter even exists!' It doesn't matter whether you're planet coaster PC, Planet Coaster Mac or Planet Coaster Console, there is something for you. Even better if you have access to ThemeMakers Toolkit too! With these tips you will be building the Planet Coaster Best Rides, Planet Coaster best parks and planet coaster best coasters.

    Not sure what seems to have happened to the audio here. The narration seems to only be coming out of the left side, but everything is stereo on my PC. No-one seems to have been bothered by it yet, but just so you know, if you hear nothing in the Right then I'm talking in the left...

    LOVE your inclusion of disability access and honestly think the theme park sim genre could benefit from a mechanical incentive to make parks disability accessible, alongisde also adding stuff like maintenance access and emergency escape routes and service vehicle routes. My youngest brother is disabled and it always rubs us the wrong way when real world attractions and theme parks don't have good disability access.

    • @Nerdchacho
      @Nerdchacho  2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      It is an important park of theme park design nowadays.. and it also doesn't stop at ambulatory needs now either, theme parks also have to consider sensory needs too. I do wish that PlanCo did have something more inclusive like this, but at the same time I do get why they wouldn't bother. It is a nice touch to add them in and everything I design has an element of disability access added in - even down to who can ride (some rides are not suitable for wheelchair users for example). I can totally appreciate how frustrating it must be in real life..

    @AdamGbl95 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Great tips. But I think it’s also a good idea to start off building a simple, flat park that’s spread out to get the basics. Then to add trees and other scenery items. Then you can start a new park and make it more realistic. Getting the basics down first is a great foundation for getting the hang of controls and visualizing ideas for making it better.

  • @Jacob-ec6st
    @Jacob-ec6st 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    It would be really cool to have a sort of pre planned layout that we could download. Like similar to how the in game scenarios are a very bare bones park. But laid out similar to the "basic" park in the beginning of this video, and then we fill in with our own designs. I feel like I'm good at building individual items, but sometimes integrating them with a larger park as a whole is difficult. So a realistic pre planned park layout could help bridge the gap for people like me that struggle to take things to the next level.

    • @Nerdchacho
      @Nerdchacho  2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      What a good idea.... I do have it on a massive list of things to do... "Starter versions" of parks I've done - as they're called. This is literally just the Entrance, turnstiles, car parks and admin.. The rest is up to you to do. Trouble is, with massive parks, it isn't an easy task, it would easily take hours per park..

      @Nerdchacho  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yay! Welcome aboard! Thanks for coming along. The majority of rollercoasters in the UK are legally obligated to be "accessible" but there is some room for improvement across the whole industry. Modern coasters are adopting this far better and far quicker but that is also driven by the policies in the Park operating them. The problem isn't always that the coaster isn't accessible, it is that the park doesn't fully understand guests who need accessible facilities.

    • @Nerdchacho
      @Nerdchacho  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      What an awesome question! I do a mix of both.. I go for realistic layouts but also aim for all green where possible. But, for some coaster types and the way that the EFN rating is calculated, all green isn't possible. So, in Raygate Lake some of the "E"s are around 5 even though they use a realistic layout. I tend to use real-life design and specification documents I have at work for elements of the coasters to make sure that they are as real as can be, but some-times some "game based decisions" need to be made too as a trade-off between real and gameplay...

    Hey man just wanted to say what an amazing job you do at bringing PlanCo parks to life with realism. I so desperately want to start making realistic parks of my own but I'm always put off by the big empty spaces a new park brings. I always find my self starting numerous sandbox files and being too daunted to start committing to building a full park since I have no knowledge of how to go about building things to what I imagine. Do you have a sort of preference of how you started out making parks and developing them into these almost diorama type scenes?

      @Nerdchacho  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I tend to stick to the parks I've visited and are familiar with... It is way easier to build from what you know - the rest comes after that. Once you understand the under-layer of realism (how and why things work) that starts to influence how you design things because you think practically rather than decorative. Realism isn't always about what you see, but how it behaves in the real world - it is an under layer that makes it feel real. Ultimately, I've made a park story in my head.. I know what attractions I want and in what groups, then I build from there. I don't always plan where things will be in advance because it changes all the time - as seen with the rapids in Raygate lake - the proposed placement changed 8 times before I settled on where it is now.. and Drakeford Manor was in 4 places first...

So many things you mentioned (car/coach parks, a main road (where?!) maintenance yards, offices, recycling centre, lockers .... all those things must surely just be for aesthetic rather than actual working things surely? I'm playing sandbox tropical and there's an entrance through a tunnel and no roads etc so are you talking about a different scenario please? Where are all those lockers, vending machines you mentioned? I notice you're playing currently and as a fairly new player, I shall subscribe and check out your other videos. Will there be a contents page somewhere with links so we can find particular things you mention in here? Sorry for all the questions and great job btw. How long have you been playing this?

    • @Nerdchacho
      @Nerdchacho  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow! Loads of questions there! love it! Lemme get started on these:
      You're right, car parks and stuff are all for aesthetics. They don't function in game but they need to be in your park for it to feel real..
      You'll need to create the roads, car parks, tunnels etc for yourself - the maps we get given just have spawn points and a path. As players, we need to make the rest..
      The lockers, vending machines etc - these are all Theme Makers Toolkit (TMTK) custom items for the PC & Mac version. They aren't in game as a standard. These are created by other players and uploaded to the Steam Workshop - there isn't a Console equivalent just yet.
      I've loaded all of the how-to vids into a Playlist and each video has the contents in the Description to help with searching. I think that is about as good as I can get on TH-cam

Enjoy all of the tiny little details Frontier put into it to make it "2016 alive". Put at least 1000 hours in "just playing" before you even try..

    I have actually decided to build a park that is uhh... a bit more ambitious? if you could call it that? Sacrificing some of the "Park realism" for the individual theme realism, so the guests can fully immerse themselves in the worlds created. Basically there's four themes that act as completely separate locations with their own vibe and layout. They're realistic, but for what they're supposed to be, not for a park. Fairytale section is a town carnaval, so there are streets and alleyways you can go through and buy things. irl the vendors would actually be dressed as medieval folk and sell stuff like jam or sweets. But on the other side, the Crook's Hideout section is fully tropical and partially in water.
    In practice what that looks like is any modern buildings or staff areas are either disguised as part of the world, or out of view.

    Amazing video,and park is gorgeous,you are really master at this.
    Planet Coaster is amazing game,only bad thing is a poor optimization which kills the fun...
    Even with i9 this park would run on maybe 18-19fps lol,and if you have a medium gaming rig it would be just like slow motion.
    You can build the park but you cant enyoy in it properly because anything below 30fps(which is perfectly enough for simulation games)is unacceptable.
    I hope developer would do something about this in the future.

      It is sort of both..

    A cool real life example for fences is this one from Disneyland th-cam.com/video/VgRYdx3mbh8/w-d-xo.html They used to not have fences and people would walk all over the landscaping.

    • @Nerdchacho
      @Nerdchacho  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's a really interesting watch!! There is defo something psychological when it comes to fences to protect landscaping. A few of our parks had this issue too.. people would create shortcuts or walk through flowerbeds etc, but put an ankle-to-knee height fence in and they suddenly stop - even if it would take NO effort to walk over. Same with low level walls too. One of our over-sees parks just put low level walls on raised landscaped areas and suddenly people stopped using them to sit on. Never under estimate the power of a good fence! haha

      Slope the land, colour it sand and then fill the lowest part with water.
      If you struggle to fill with water, check the height of the land outside the park boundary.. you'll need to make sure that your "sea" is lower than the outer boundary. The best map to use for this is the Tropical map because that is relatively flat. You can't get rid of the trees or hills in the background outside the map - that is impossible.

    Is it even possible to build these kind of parks outside of Sandbox mode? The Economy seems quite..... shit, outside of placing a few flat rides & fast forwarding 10-25 years while researching stuff along the way.

    • @Nerdchacho
      @Nerdchacho  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can, yes.. but you just have to establish an economy in the park before you decorate...
      My original was a bit vague.. let me add to it.... You will need to set up an economy in the game first.. play with the ride sequences (or look up the optimal ones in the Steam Discussions) and then set your prices.. I tend to use 15 for coasters, 12.50 for thrill flats, 10 for tracked rides and 5 or 6 for the lesser flats. However, I saw a calculation that you can charge as much as 40% of the total prestige. I've not checked it out, so don't know if that works.
      Food is the same. I tick all of the extras that don't make a guest unhappier and add 1 for anything upto 6.50... 1.50 for anything up to 8, 2 for anything up to 12 and 2.50 for anything over 12.
      That seems to work well and the money will come flooding in... Remember too, the more scenery you have, the more guests you have.. the return on investment is totally worth it, but you have to establish the basic economy first..
