Share your tips

Since we've got a lot of great builders in the community which different strengths and weaknesses, I thought it would be a good idea if we just shared any building tips we have. Mine:

-If trying to build more realistic coasters, look at the six flags parks in game. They give a pretty good idea of how to make better-looking coasters. Another idea is to look at aerial photos of real coasters, something I do a lot. Some of the coasters will seldom fit on a grid but that's a good opportunity to make the design your own, by adding new elements that do fit. Also remember that less is more. A good coaster is not a scrambled mess of elements, its more organized. Instead of building a twister coaster from scratch, build an element or something eye-catching and see the rest of the coaster as connections between elements, as elements like cobra rolls grab your attention and encourage people to ride.

If working with custom terrain, try your best to make it look good before adding greenery. This has been a tip from the builder of a certain mine train

@imlegos When are you even planning on finishing it, though? The meme is already dank and it's hardly been 2 or 3 weeks.

If I ever get the ability to finish it.

Yeah sorry I've kinda been busy recently and will be busy at least through the weekend, hopefully I'll be able to host sometime soon. When I next host I'll try to let you know on skype, then you can work on the mein train.
