No worries! The info is up to date and I've replaced some outdated screenshots with updated ones where necessary. You may notice the UI in some screenshots is slightly outdated as this guide was initially published when Update 1.1 was live.
I made this guide because while there are plenty of helpful YouTube videos and similar tutorials online that cover coaster designing, there doesn't seem to be very many guides or "manuals" of sorts right here on Steam that cover the many aspects of coaster editing (except for guide, which I have not read beyond a quick skim or copied from in any way, as I don't like copycatting and think that doing so would be unfair to him/her.) I have seen several people ask questions about how to make a good coaster. While this guide can be read all the way through in order, feel free to jump around to sections that you think will be the most helpful to you. Finally, we'll talk about how to set up ride operations. Then, we will look at some sample layouts to give you a basic idea of how to design your coaster.
After that, we will discuss important track and design elements of coasters. Then we will discuss the editor and how to use its wide range of tools. We will start by explaining some important concepts you need to know about before building. Hope you enjoy the game and thanks for reading this guide :)Hayo! I'm SirJC17, and I've made a guide that aims to help you learn how to build coasters that will thrill your guests. Hopefully I can get back to it at some point, but I can't make any promises at the moment. Updates to this guide are on hold for now as I haven't really had time to work on it or play the game.
