Park Beyond News

[h3]Note from the Dev Team:[/h3]

Even though the release of patch 2.0, Community Content and the Beyond eXtreme DLC took longer than we had planned, we hope that you will enjoy it!

Thanks for all the feedback many of you brought forward. We took your feedback to heart and set on the goal to bring improvements into Park Beyond that you have been asking for. For all those new to Park Beyond: Welcome! And to all others returning: Welcome back!

Patch 2.0 is packed with improvements to help you better understand path placement and path connections with an all-new highlighting system that shows you where path intersections can be created. Path visuals and railings can now be changed after placement and the path snapping logics were improved on queue/exit placement.

You are now able to order Mechanics and Janitors to your rides, shops and facilities and have better indications of your idling staff. All Sandbox maps received a completely overhauled and improved lighting with a new day & night cycle to really make your parks shine at night!

Object Placement and working with groups and prefabs has gotten even easier with multiple Quality of Life improvements. We added a new Heatmap to identify the visitors in your park who are looking for ATMs. And we overall improved the ride utilization and game progression through the rising park levels, reduced the importance of need providers, and re-balanced several missions.

On top of these and many more smaller improvements, we tried to get as many bug fixes into this version as we could.

We are looking forward to seeing and playing with your creations that you share through the new Community Content feature and we hope that you will have a blast with this patch 2.0!

Please continue to share all your thoughts and feedback with us because we are already starting to work on the next patches and updates to come. Thank you!

General

Comment from the Dev team:

Based on community feedback, it was noted that our trains have a lot of friction. They lose speed faster than they should. We've learned that this was due to the train's roll resistance being higher than it should. In preparation for our upcoming sharing features, we wanted to improve this. As such, we've set this back to a normal level and think the result feels good.

However, we don't want to accidentally break your existing coasters. Therefore this change will only apply to newly placed coasters.

If you saved any coasters as prefabs before this patch and place them after this patch, you may notice buggy looking behaviour. Simply open the coaster editor and run the course test again, afterwards the coaster should work as normal again and you can overwrite your old prefab.
We hope this is a positive change and are looking forward to your feedback.

Patch 1.4.0 includes a number of changes in response to various feedback voiced by the community about parks eventually becoming unprofitable and level of difficulty in missions. After some initial balancing changes in Patch 1.3.0 we have worked on additional balancing adjustments and systemic changes for this patch. Please note that for most of these changes to take effect, you will need to restart the mission in which you are facing issues. If you are playing in sandbox mode and want to keep your park - replace your flat rides and update your coasters (going into edit mode once).

1. Visitor's Ai has been revamp to make better usage of rides and shops. With this system, we are specifically addressing rides becoming under-utilized for no apparent reason. The system helps maintain the profitability of the rides in your park.
   
2. Visitors of your park are now able to run to their goals under certain conditions. This change addresses issues with long walking distances in larger parks as visitors will be able to reach their goals up to two times faster now, which resolves in Visitors being more spread out through the park. Visitors will run to their first ride visit in the park, to newly opened rides, to remote rides, and in very urgent cases to certain facilities.
   
3. We softened the impact of the cleanliness rating on the fun generation in your park which will make it easier to progress to higher park levels and reduce the overall progression difficulty.
   
4. Coasters and especially the Wide Coaster type received balancing changes which will now attract more visitors to your park.
   
5. We addressed and balanced the difficulty of specific missions and milestone goals for "Mission 5 - Duel at the Beaches" up to "Mission 8 - Top of the World".

We look forward to receiving your feedback based on the changes and their impact on the financial success of your parks. Thank you! - Limbic Entertainment Game Design Team
