Planet Coaster 2 | Deep Dive 3 - Mastering Management 

This UI was designed for consoles. I’m worried about this game now. That UI needs a PC overhaul very badly 😢

I really hope they will still update the stations.. The loading/unloading still goes so slow like in pc1.. Hope next deep dive is about that cause im waiting with my pre order for that one

It would be so nice if the queue times were also displayed in the "Attractions & Shops" park management tab (or maybe in a heatmap). I think managing wait times is one of the (if not the) most important challenges when it comes to theme parks, as this highly influences the guest experience. Thus, it would be soooo helpful to have an overview on all the actual queue times at once (and not having to click on each ride individually).

Can we please get to change the size and design of coaster stations, the air gates and fences especially are wayyy too big and long.

Only issue i have is guests still running onto rides. Was hoping we’d had staff checking restraints 🙏

Still need seperate entry/exit stations - These were in early RCT games - Also, would be cool to have rolling stations too.

Launched spinning coasters (mack extreme spinner) need to be in the game. NEED. theatre style simulators would be amazing!

Xander seems so passionate for the game, its amazing to see devs actually caring for their games in these times

RIP Foxy from Street Fox. :(

Does Xander come with the Deluxe Edition? 💪🏻

can we have the PC version not so indoctrinated by the needs of a console player, please?

I'm disappointed that yall focused way too much about power/engine and staff zones rather then fixing the stations and make a transfer/maintanace area to load / unload trains when it gets busy.. its way more needed and realistic..

Please give us dark mode for the UI! It would be nice to look at the UI without my eyes bleeding

There's still some tweaks I'd like to see made with the Ui...There's just too many menus within menus and then sub-menus. Half menus we can't expand if we want to but have to scroll down in tiny boxes. Do I wanna press a button to make a menu bigger or do I wanna scroll and scroll and scroll and try and see what I'm trying to find? It's like when you're painting the terrain, you have a tiny selection of options and have to click through for more...Why? Just display every option on the side of the screen. Also I'd like an option to be added to let *us* decide if we want menus to open on blueprints or the full list of items/rides.

I really hope they will make the game currency like the real life currency. Because in PC1 there is like 1930s currency, and it's very hard to figure out how much do you want to charge from a person

Please make it so the loading and unloading is more realistic, where guests don’t just runs to the trains when loading, they walk and sit down and the staff should check the restraints. You should also make it so we can control the weather if we can, maybe enable some sort of setting. Love how the game looks, love the new POV’s, the new system, the switch tracks and other tracks, I hope it turns out really well! - EthanStillCodes

Show us a very big park filled with guests, like around 10.000 guests or even more for the next deep dive, please!

It’d be cool if weather affected the operations of rides like in real life. Like a thunderstorm comes and all of the outdoor coasters have to shut down, but dark rides can still operate. Sadly doesn’t look like that’s the case :/ Also would be nice to see more interesting variations of ride breakdowns

The monorail doesn’t need to be a full circuit hopefully we get this option on other rides

Sad no litter heatmap, having just done a complete playthrough of career mode on ps5 was a few times i had a complaint about litter dragging down a park and it was impossible apart from scrolling down every path at zoomed in levels to look for where it was.

Please please please get rid of the "return to browser" requirement on PC. I've seen MANY creators mention that they were telling Frontier about this so I really strongly hope those sort of UI adjustments get reverted to PC1 style :-)

to be honest I'm very disappointed there is nothing about roller coasters management nothing about the stations, they still look the same as planco1. very unrealistic. not allot of new info on this one, was expecting more i guess.

I'm looking forward to Planet coaster 2, as a pc player I think the Ui looks terrible, it looks like the game was only developed for the console. I hope Frontier is working on a solution

Only 1Month, 11 Days, 5 Hours and 4 Minutes to go 😊

Where are the security guards in Planet Coaster 2?

Seeing the guests get on the ride at 17:41 is a bit strange. Why do they only enter the platform when the roller coaster train arrives, instead of waiting at their assigned positions in the dispatch area? They could wait at the airgates, making the boarding process smoother and faster.

No more Security in Planet Coaster? No guards as people mentioned but also no Security info in the management and heatmap UI

those heatmaps are such a great addition it'll be much easier to pinpoint whats going wrong in a career mode, which was one of my biggest annoyances in PC1 (Alongside the notifictaions, the new notifications looks far better than PC1)

Please add mirror on buildings/props/objects please. Not just reverse please, add mirror!

This was a bad deep dive, yall already showed us that there is power and life guards and heatmaps so nothing you said is new information. What about transfer tracks? What about load/ unload stations? (1 load and 1 unload station) and prebuilt stations so we don't have to rely on either building your own or having the ugly default station?

Please fix the UI, PC and Console are VERY different systems. PC users should not be forced into the limitations and frustrations of console.

Still not sorted the loading and unloading system I see.

Why did you remove mechanics from Planet Coaster 1? Where are the security guards? Where are the hotels and custom restaurants? Priority pass? The interface looks like a console interface, not a PC interface. The idea with this game was to move forward, not take steps back.

Nice shallow deep dive but was hoping to see some more new information

Thank you so much for the text sizing options - as a vision impaired gamer it is fantastic. Also, as a management player I love all the added elements. So excited for the game.

I'm really looking forward to this game, but there are a few things that I'm concerned about 1 - The UI looks like it was designed by Fisher Price, lots of empty spaces and blocky text, I guess that because its trying to accommodate consoles, but it looks awful and a real step back instead of moving forward. 2 - The research tree doesn't look very intuitive at all, also, why are we not employing researchers and having a separate building for them to do their research 3 - The scenery heatmap looks like it fluctuates from red to blue, so it doesn't tell me anything, like does this scenery fit the particular area or theme? Is the scenery to dense or sparse? Don't add features that add no weight to the game 4 - I don't want my currency to be $ I want to be able to change it to £ like in RCT1 & 2, I'm British, Frontier are British and yet we always seem to have dollars in every game, give the player a choice. Sorry rant over and I do have high expectations for this game, but some of these things have really frustrated me.

Please !! I beg you. Make separate UI for consule and pc

Rip captain lockjaw, he would’ve been perfect for the planco 2 waterparks :(

honestly kinda lame. they missed the stations loading and unloading which is still absolutely terrible. nothing really new and not much that we asked for in this video specifically. just redoing the UI isn't good enough and it sucks they don't listen to us as much as they should.

Why is it sunny when it rains? It's disappointing that this game doesn't use the Planet Zoo weather system 😢

Can't wait for this! I've been playing for eons and I preordered the second it came out, deluxe too!

It’s a shame the UI looks straight out of 2010

I cant wait for Planet coaster 2… even if it’s on a weekday 😅

The management menus need some adjusting. There’s so much empty wasted space.

Really amazing valley there in the background, perfect for a beautiful park to be built in... but, for some silly reason, someone thought it better to build a theme park on a tiny mesa instead... not good thinking behind some of these maps/levels by the look, etc. Bring back the realism!

The game is looking really nice! Buuutt, will you be improving the LSM and brake sounds? They don't sound correct (brakes repeat per car which is wrong). Otherwise this is looking a great improvement over PC1.

I think the finance tab would look better if it modeled an income statement but I might just be nerding out there...

A little bit disappointed with the research system (altho i love the tree), I was hoping it would be less artificial, more integrated to the game like in Planet Zoo rather than just being tied to your campaign progress. I like the system for the food restriction, wish we could make additional custom items.

good new information, but you had announced big news about track rides and dark rides. So I'm a bit disappointed and a lot of it was already known. You should show at least one big thing per deep dive to keep the hype up💪

Will there be a heat map for shade from the sun/weather conditions? That would really help plan areas that should have shade as well as how well the plants I place provide shade in jungle or other nature themed areas.

I wonder if they added heaters as i see seasons, winter surely people wont go in the pool 😂 also wondering if you can cover pools with buildings, and how easy it is? I do love the new look on managment so much more eye appealing and seems easier to work with 😊

What's a bit strange is why, as a park operator, you have to produce your own electricity (and water) using generators or solar panels. In real life, most parks get their energy from the grid. 20:59

Will we have a way to assigned several staff to a work area at the same time, instead of having to do it singularly for every single one?

I’d love to see an option for the park to close at night and for the guest/most staff to leave overnight, where maintenance/cleaning could be done. And an option to play slower timescale

Hoping you listen to the community after showcasing the game and consider using that to improve with big updates after launch instead of just giving us DLC. I work at a theme park and loading stations need an update from Planet Coaster 1 along with the water slides. The slide queues shouldn't have gates. Just give them paths straight to the entrance of the slide please. It would also be nice for the weather to have effects on attractions. When we have lighting within 7 miles of the park all coasters and pools are shutdown.

Can you set the age or height requirement for rides?

Please add the little version of the grand carousel from Planco1, we need it for the entrance area or smaller spaces. And I miss some classic rides like octopus, condor, break dancer or flying shark. In generell we need more rides for family/children (best as a separate tab in the menu) and of course ASAP a western and pirate theme please please ❤ Fantasy, horror, midway games, hotels and restaurants later🤩😆

Can you please get separate loading and unloading stations? If this is added, this would be a perfect game! I can’t wait for pc2!!!

People are so whiny and nit picky about things. This sequel looks incredible, and the graphics are amazing. This wasnt supposed to be a ride mechanics episode, just a management one. This is leagues better than planco 1.

Love the addition of the heat maps, however, it would also be nice to have an option to toggle a heat map when placing different rides/shops, so you can quickly see where those rides/shops might already exist in your park (Basically how the heat map works for utilities, but also adding that to rides/shops).

I only have a quarter of a million guests, huge crowds at the entrance, what is the maximum number of visitors in the park?

18:09 Very sus how the guests are leaving the station, might not be the final version of them😏

First love planet coaster 2. ❤❤❤❤❤

i wish we could have two separate load and unload stations

Kid rides?

They even introduced different food variations with no gluten or meat for the guests needs. We are talking about Planet Coaster here, this is a new level of detail!🤯🤩

Will there be dlc for console in the future? Also, will there be a sandbox mode?

Please tell me the rollercoaster ratings system has changed. Fed up of a high thrill coaster being remotely realistic being penalised with a low excitement rating

PLEASE don't make the campaign as useless and easy as the first Planet Coaster! We want some challenge here!

I'm missing the part where Adam reports on some further features. :(

Please frontier we need transfer tracks and different unload and load station

Heatmaps! Great feature from Zoo that Coaster really needed.

I love you planet coaster ❤❤❤

Whats the next deep dive on? Please be on coasters... the thing we all want to see

Carnival Games, like coconut shy? Please..

Hopefully all power/generator stuff can be hidden and ignored in sandbox mode? Don't know why the whole power system was added to the game at all. Just looks like added busy work and clutter with no fun added.

No hotel management :(

This is WAAAY too much detail in management for me. I hope we can turn this off, or don't have to worry about this in Sandbox mode.

I didn't think I'd be interested in all the new stuff about guests, but adding balk times is HUGE.

I just wanna say, I (And most of the comminity) am erally exited for this game! It looks so good, I got the deluxe edition pre-order practically right away

Loading and Unloading is a huge issue we are voicing our opinion !!!

There should be staff checking restraints

Sounds little, but an 8 seat dive machine variant would be great to have…

12:07 Hold a sec, why there’s sun while raining?

Wow! This wind could take your socks off!

I sure hope it's not sunny all the time when it rains...

Hmm, I'm not sure if I like that the UI seems more optimized for console, but the game itself looks really fun. I like the idea of having restrictions in different zones. I can imagine that feature can give you lots of depth. I also like the heat maps! It gave me an idea. In some parks you have kiosks with a prompt in certain areas where they try new things where you can push one of three buttons with a frown, a meh face and a smile. It might be fun in addition to the heat maps to get even more insight by placing these kiosks in your park at strategic locations. I'm thinking these could have pre-made prompts like "how do you like the scenery in this area" or "Is this section exciting enough for you?", stuff like that so you can manually do in-depth 'research' into your park if you want to. Keep up the good work!

please xan you have guests throw up in rides and poo and pee in the water rides/swimming pools???? a bit of humour please....

I was so hyped for this until I saw the console ui. Also please add separate stations for loading/unloading on attractions. I'll probably end up waiting several months before I buy this because it looks like they took 1 step forward and 2 steps back.

I can't wait for this game, all of you over there at Frontier are doing an amazing job I can't wait to get my hands on it I'm already pre-ordered for the deluxe. I don't do pre-orders but this game I had to, and I'll be streaming it live right when I get my hands on it.

I have pre-order the game, but hope we can get a playable demo in a week or two. So we can try it we as not could get to gamescon.

This looks amazing 😊

Thank you for this deep dive ! It would be amazing if we could create our own scenarios and then sharing them !

I miss the ability to manually set prices; please add it back!

Is there gonna be actual multiplayer or is it just gonna be a somewhat easier way of sharing save files? Because Parkitect nails multiplayer, I wish this game could too...

Not sure my gaming laptop has the specs for this game

I would really like to see more about the coasters and building, because yeah, all the other stuff is fun and nice too, but im more interrestet about the coasters than that. Im still waiting on the switchtracks will be more than just to get the coaster to go forward agian after a droptrack or something, because right now as far as i know, you can't do, what i would call some kind of "re-launch" with the switchtracks like top thrill 2 in irl. And maybe some transfer tracks at the stations, that would really be a game changer. And also change the stations up a bit too, so it isen't just a copy of planet coaster 1. Like wow the game looks amazing, but i don't see the point of switchtracks if i can't do cool coasters that goes into a launch and then come back on a track that launches it backwards, before launching it forwards agian, over a tophat or something like that. Because if i just wanted to make the coaster go straight agian, i could just use one of the turntabels in the game. So im really hopeing to see more about the coasters in the next deep dive, and hopeing to see some other features with the switch tracks. Bcause all the drops tracks and that other fun stuff looks fantastic, im just missing that one switchtrack thing, and maybe a transfer track at the station? JUST TO SAY: Overall the game looks amazing and im really looking forward to it, this was just my thoughts of what's it's missing. Great work frontier and planet coaster team, and keep it up.

A long long time ago, in an office far far away, someone mentioned Weather. For a brief moment it sounded like Frontier were going to have "weather" in PC1. Im not sure if that individual was ever allowed on a live stream again after that?. But, the concept of the idea was out there and some of us hoped that it would happen. Now... We have it!? Sure, its hard not to since this is built on the PZ Engine (and that means LOTS of potential !). But still, Weather is a really Exciting addition. May of us got used to the constantly perfect weather of PC1, and build glorious homages to rides and themes, not caring one iota about the weather! Now however, the tables have turned. A dark cloud on the horizon, the risk of rain. Giving the people somewhere to shelter from the elements as Thor shoots bolts of lightening to harass our Power grids! Poseidon, threatening a deluge of water to thwart our outdoor monuments that conquer Gravity, and of course Kevin, the god of slightly cold overcast days that call for a Hot Chocky drink and the shelter of the cheesy ghost train ride!. Bring forth the Weather that we.... as park designers... can conquer that too!. The weather gods will learn to fear our new Pathing tools and construction options!? Mwahahahah!!!!!... . Sorry, got a bit carried away there. Yey! Weather!

just bought Planco 2

Who else saw the mythology centrepiece
