Hi everyone,
From our official forums here: https://forums.planetcoaster.com/showthread.php/21307
As promised by our beloved Sam Denney in yesterday’s livestream, here’s a sneak peek on what’s coming in a small update next week regarding the coaster support system.
The team has been working really hard to make improvements to the current support system; the new system is more comparative to real-life coasters and coaster engineering, as well as being aesthetically pleasing!
Below we have a side by side comparison of the old and new system, so you can see exactly what will change regarding the coaster supports. Top image is the old system, bottom image the new one!
A comparative overview of the global support changes.
New support just on vertical drops/rises.
Dive coaster has its own new vertical support.
New diagonal supports just for specials.
Sloping supports stay facing the same way when ascending and descending.
No more 'Goal post' supports on track one variants.
Dog-legging now only occurs 100ft from the ground.
New support just for vertical loops on inverted (Rival, Boa, Stingray).
it’s worth noting that this is an automatic system based on angle slope and track piece type. There’s no manual option available, so we would appreciate any feedback and suggestions on how to improve upon the new system.
All these changes will automatically populate across your parks.
