damn, that's one beautiful coffee shop. Great work. And some great hints with the intricacies of the building stuff. Especially the "take 2, get a grid" thing. I've just started with the game yesterday, and my buildings so far are totally amateurish, but these things will help. A lot.
The way you're always talking over the controls really helps! Noobs like me always forget holding F and Shift does stuff... And things... Really good vid!
I was so overwhelmed by all the building options that I just kept using the pre-made buildings. This tutorial did an amazing job at breaking down each step and making it far less intimidating. Thank you so much!
Hey Ctop, great tutorials! One thing about the grid height. It's certainly useful! When placing walls for example, instead of always snapping 4 meters up with shift, you can lower the grid height to raise the wall a little bit higher. So you're not limited by the size of the walls anymore.
Ctop, thank you!! I followed this last night and made it nearly identical. A HUGE HELP! I did 3 vendors in the building and came out pretty darn good. Keep these up sir I much appreciate it!
Great video! Thank you! Chamfered is when you take a 90 degree corner and put a bevel on it to not make the corner sharp. As a machinist, we deal with chamfered edges all the time! Thanks again!!!
Just came back and saw your reply to my last comment, gotta say, I'm super happy with how you did on this. Really great job showing/explaining building, and the final build looked great. Thanks Ctop!
You are so nice with what you do. Thank you. Last night, I was trying to build a little house with Limeplaster and orange/yellow roof just like how the game did with the last mission on the pirate section (the game made a nice house to house beef and milkshake shops, so I wanted to make one to house a hotdog place). After I built the roof to fit exactly the length of the building, I wanted the roof to stick out little bit to make it look better. So I used the edge pieces that the game provided and went smooth. But the problem is the long piece to put on top of the roof to finish off the left and right side of the roof I built up. Since the piece has certain length, I wanted the piece to overlap on purpose to cover the little roof ends I extended. However, it kept wanting to go by grid, so this piece would stick out so much (i expanded like 10% of the grid with the roof edge pieces, so sticking out alot). So I gave up and erased the extension I made =( Do you know how you could move a piece just little by little to cover the little extension? Hope you understood my question. I literally drew what I did with texts haha. But hey nonetheless, I appreciate videos like this. Thank you.
Great vid - Nice tempo and informative thanks. I learned a few tings about how to build I didn't know. Filters are very handy and Grid spacing in advance. Thanks.
Another super video. Did see on another video you gave away a copy of the game. Hope it was my suggestion, in a prior video that Frontier decided to give you a copy for that purpose. Now that you have started to do tutorials, on the game your videos are even more important to both Frontier and your subs. I feel this game is going to BE HUGE, and you seem to be a vital part of it's coming success. I know there are others but have not even started to look at them. You present the best in every factor. Creative Talent, Presentation, Fun, and now Teaching.
FYI, adjusting Grid Height can be really helpful when doing roofing work. Adjusting it changes the height a piece snaps to when you use the shift key to change its height, and as such allows for fine placement height-wise of walls/roofs/scenery.
Thank you so much for this video! It's an immense help. I love creating unique creations like in rct2 but until now the system was overwhelming and full of error until your tricks and tips paved the way for faster customization!
Hope that you do more of these!! Can you teach us how to build more of like a fantasy themed building like a castle or maybe a arch that can go over a bridge??
Thank you these help so much I’m new to planet costed and only got it yesterday and I was crap at building and u made it so much easier to understand how to build
The grid height determines how much you raise your piece at a time. It's kinda like angle snap in some way. Pulling the grid height down to 0 makes sure you can put roofs in the ground so it looks like floor, among other things.
Hi Ctop! I found out that when you have trouble with queue joining to the paths when you don't want them too, you can actually hold the Ctrl button and they don't join to each other :D Just a useful tip! :)
Regarding the discoloration from floor pieces showing through walls: One thing I've noticed is that the facing of the wall sometimes matters when it comes to floor/roof pieces showing through. Even if both faces of a wall look identical, there seems to be one side of the wall that is designated the "front". When that side of the wall is facing out, I tend to notice fewer pieces of floor/roof and even other wall pieces showing through it. It doesn't always seem to apply like that but most of the time, that's how I've seen it working so if you see your floor/roof piece showing through your wall, try rotating the wall so the other face is facing outward and it may stop that from happening.
Cool video! Very helpful! Do you think you could make a list of the different shortcuts? I don't recall seeing all these in the help section in-game? Also, would love some tips on path placement. :D
Looking at your path into the saloon I think it is possible to put the boards on top of the path instead of the path on top of the boards. Also, you can build with the game paused.
Thank you, great video. 11:43 how do you duplicate the first beam in place just prior to moving? I press Ctrl-D and it did not duplicate in place. I got it, it's Ctrl-X.
nice video :) but i wud like to see a more advanced guide, like how to manipulate half grids. I've played it for a while, and also looked at what developers made, and im sure they have tools i don´t. keep up the good work ;P
Btw IDK if you knew already but if you hold Z while attaching two paths together it gives you different angles (It might help with making intersections)
Wonderful building dude, I love it. What do you think about a project building something like a shopping mall where you build in every shop of the game in different floors? :) Sorry for some possible language mistakes, english is not my native language :D
Is the grid height option not for placing roofs easier? If you set the grid height at say 8 then maybe you don't have to faff around trying to get the correct floor tile to get the roof to snap to the right position?
Man, the building in this game seems waaaay more complicated than RCT3... hence why I always put up blueprint buildings. I really want to get into building with this... Maybe I will get the hang of it in due time.
Btw one Question, if you build a Prob around a shop, like one not dedicated to something in particular like your Coffee Saloon, but just a blueprint that fits your scenario. Can you when its done just switch the shop Typ inside? Without taking it apart and try to squish it in?
Thank you for this nice tutorial that the game should have had. I got the game yesterday but that part about the griddable piece if you select 2 doesn't seem to work for me. Also I had to set my grid height to 1M to get the coffee shop to raise 1. And they did set the filters to sticky so they stay. (Subscribed)
First, thanks for the tutorial, this will help a lot. My only question is, how do I save the entire setup as a "prop" or "building" to add to later games?
Ctop, is there a way to set multiple entrances for a park in challenge mode yet? I'm having a problem where my park is so deep people will not go too far in. I've build a monorail (free to enter) to try and solve the problem but the back of my part is bleeding money.
Thankyou so much this was soooooooooo helpful, just one thing though, I couldn't get none snappable items to span to grid when duplicating 2 of them like you show at around 12:40 . But yeah, this was very helpful for just being able to better enjoy the game. Thankyou :)
Now I just need to learn how to be creative...
haha ya I'm having that issue as well
Watching Silvarret videos might help
no... if anything it makes the task seem even more impossible
Brendan Forish Well he shows a lot of different ways to use the different pieces in a building.

This was very helpful! Thanks for making it
Glad you liked it :D
by god its the sauce
You just become my favourite Planet Coaster after building that coffee shop. I LOVE COFFEE :3
:D
Dude that seriously helped me out a lot, iam usually not a Fan of watching Videos that long, but it was worth it! Good Job man and Thanks.
yay I love this series.i love how you do this series every day.

Thx u so much for explaining this stuff, i got frustrated by trying it by myself! keep goin!
Np!
Learned tons of new stuff when it comes to editing! Well done!
:D
Starting watching your videos a few weeks ago , cant stop! Keep it up Ctop!
:D
Excellent Tutorial-Thank you for sharing...may try my hand at building myself now
Just came back and saw your reply to my last comment, gotta say, I'm super happy with how you did on this. Really great job showing/explaining building, and the final build looked great. Thanks Ctop!
:D
nice tutorial. I like that you don't waste time explaining lots of unrelated crop and move along quickly.
Great tutorial, thanks! Haven't played PlanCo for over a year, so this was definitely helpful!
wow! i asked this question on reddit last night that 'someone should do a tutorial video'!
REQUEST ANSWERED! THANKS!
:D

Man, You help me a lot, I don't understand english very well sorry about my english, I only want to thankyou for this video.
Great vid - Nice tempo and informative thanks. I learned a few tings about how to build I didn't know. Filters are very handy and Grid spacing in advance. Thanks.
Yes man! Got me started on a few original pieces, good guidance.

Incredible, answered a question I was typing. A+ sir
Great tutorial. Straight to the point with a nice build. Good Job. :)
:D
I got this yesterday,at first i was so confused with everything,i got used to it thank you ctop
Thank you these help so much I’m new to planet costed and only got it yesterday and I was crap at building and u made it so much easier to understand how to build
very good video
Thanks bud :D

thank you ! I'm so crap at building my own parks this is very helpful :)
Very good tutorial :) very easy to watch

That looks really flippin' good!

+Ctop Thank you so much for the tutorial. This video was extremely helpful. I cannot wait until I get home from work to try building another building.
The tips in this video are amazing, going to make my life so much easier now! Thanks!
:D
Omg thank you Ctop. I had no clue about the "f" to center that's gonna help me soo much!
:D
This tutorial was perfect, thanks!
wow i needed tips for building and now i have a video to watch yay. Also that is a very good coffee shop
Thanks :D
Ctop actually my buildings are way better because of you thx
your so good at explaining it simple thanks u just gained a sub :)
Are going to do a planet coaster sci fi park today?????????
that's just a simple build, my God, that looks so good
:D
thx
Thank you so much for this guide! :D
Excellent, thank younfor this tutorial ! We want more ! 😃
:D
This is such an in depth and helpful tutorial. I'm sure it'll help me to build intricate and ornate buildings.
Once I get the goddamn game that is.
:P
Great video. Please do more like this.
:D
This was great. Can you make more of those? ^_^
Thanks for explaining some shortcuts for building on a grid. Really helpfull!
:D
Grid height lets you set the steps in wich building pieces are raised so you can raise a piece by 0.5 meter instead of 1.
amazing build Ctop!
Thanks :D
Please upload some of your buildings to the workshop.. you're like one of the special builders, but so few of you have any items shared atm.
hey ctop! are you planning on making an in depth tutorial on coaster and track ride building? :) would really appreciate it!
Thanks Ctop, great tutotial.
:D
Cool video! Very helpful! Do you think you could make a list of the different shortcuts? I don't recall seeing all these in the help section in-game? Also, would love some tips on path placement. :D

Really helpful video actually. Thanks!
:D
Really helpful vid!
Thank you very very much!!! You have no idea how much you helped me =)
:D
Thank you, great video. 11:43 how do you duplicate the first beam in place just prior to moving? I press Ctrl-D and it did not duplicate in place. I got it, it's Ctrl-X.
hey ctop that's a beautiful building and I really liked it. Can you please upload it to the steam workshop?
awesome tutorial, thank you!!!
Hi. I don't have a "zee" key. Could I possibly use "zed"? Nice vid! Thanks.
Grid height is actually the spacing of which items move on the grid in the vertical (y) direction. Not the total height of the grid area ;)
these were the good days
nice video :) but i wud like to see a more advanced guide, like how to manipulate half grids. I've played it for a while, and also looked at what developers made, and im sure they have tools i don´t. keep up the good work ;P
Thats Amazing!!!
do you think you could build a train station/parking lot in western theme ?
Btw IDK if you knew already but if you hold Z while attaching two paths together it gives you different angles (It might help with making intersections)
Wonderful building dude, I love it. What do you think about a project building something like a shopping mall where you build in every shop of the game in different floors? :)
Sorry for some possible language mistakes, english is not my native language :D
Great tips, keep 'em up!
:D
Thank you! This helped a lot more than over videos. I'll hit Subscribe after Like.
Is the grid height option not for placing roofs easier? If you set the grid height at say 8 then maybe you don't have to faff around trying to get the correct floor tile to get the roof to snap to the right position?
This helped me a lot, thank you dude!
:D
On your fantastic voyage ride, you should use the log flume so it looks like you are riding on the bloodstream.
Michael Bahlmann that's actually not a bad idea at all. I wonder if you can change the color of the water?
Great tutorial! thank you :)
thx dude! u gave me so many usefull info! :D
Thank you for the great video ✌
I definitely needed that (plus a bit of talent too but cannot find a course for that :D).
Thanks a lot!
No problem :D
Great video, thanks!
Awesome video! Now off to build my own part and get dissapointed when it isn't up to Ctop level :D
Thanks :D
Well... you just earned a new subscriber :D
Welcome :D
Quick question, did they remove flat tide signs? What happened to them? Are they still there?
This really helped me!
thank you so much. This video is very helpful:)
at 7:20..... by holding left-click can you highlight scenery as well? or only individual building parts?
Just building pieces unfortunately. The only way to do it with scenery is to use the select tool in the bottom right and make a blueprint.
Ctop dang that sucks ...... do u think they would ever add this feature to scenery in the future?
this really helped me. I'm hoping there are better pieces for my own idea's when the game goes in to full release
If you put light in the interior will the glow shows through the window?
Man, the building in this game seems waaaay more complicated than RCT3... hence why I always put up blueprint buildings. I really want to get into building with this... Maybe I will get the hang of it in due time.

12:50 the tip here about becoming a gridable piece doesn't seem to work anymore, or at least it doesn't seem to work on certain items
Thank you for this nice tutorial that the game should have had. I got the game yesterday but that part about the griddable piece if you select 2 doesn't seem to work for me. Also I had to set my grid height to 1M to get the coffee shop to raise 1.

First, thanks for the tutorial, this will help a lot. My only question is, how do I save the entire setup as a "prop" or "building" to add to later games?
Use the selection tool in the bottom right to save things as a blueprint.
Very Helpful! Thanks!
:D
I tried rotating in the grid but wouldn't let me what button do I hit to rotate the wall so I can build on different angles
Ctop, is there a way to set multiple entrances for a park in
challenge mode yet? I'm having a problem where my park is so deep people
will not go too far in. I've build a monorail (free to enter) to try
and solve the problem but the back of my part is bleeding money.
