Hi, How do i play

[PoweredAqua]

i just bought the game and i started by placing some food stands, and i opened them. but there is an alert telling me that they aren't connected to a path. how do i fix this?

[Broxzier]

You need to place them so that they are next to a path, and point towards it. While building stalls, you can rotate them using the red arrow in the interface. The yellow arrow indicates which side is the side guests will buy items from.

thanks again. the isometric view made me place the stalls floating above the paths instead of next to them.

God that view gives me nightmares...

If you question yourself if something is on the level you want it to have you can turn the camera, as it will look different from the 3 other angles.

[Broxzier]

You can press and hold Ctrl on a path, or any other element, to build it at the same base height as that object. This way you can be sure it will be next to it.

This is why ORCT2 should have tutorials.

[Broxzier]

Tutorials will be reimplemented at some point, but that will be after the refactoring. The main reason for this is because in RCT2 it only works in fullscreen at a certain resolution (640x480 if I remember correctly), which is not what we're at now. Personally I think it would be nice to have a list with functions that the game has, from easy to advanced, covering all aspects of the game, including OpenRCT2-only features.

[imlegos]

Would they be video based, like OpenTTD (Mobile only I think) or similar too how RCT2 originally did them, with the mouse controlled by the game with hover text replaced by information and instruction, or RCT3 where the tutorials were interactive and designed to make you demonstrate for youself.

[Broxzier]

That all needs to be discussed. My approach would be the latter, to let the game guide the player taking the actions.

[imlegos]

Latter, or lattest?

RCT2       RCT3

[Broxzier]

The latter from the two you named, so RCT3. The tutorial would give very obvious hints to the player, explaining where they can find the things to build, and how to manage a park.
