Planet Coaster has enjoyed a never-ending stream of love from both the developers and players, from the game's early access launch all the way to now, with the first proper paid expansions finally adding plenty of new quality content and a steady influx of mods making up anything that Frontier Developments can't handle.

Planet Coaster Update - Patch 1.4.2 (and 1.4.1)

---

Following the massive Anniversary Update released earlier this week (see below for details on what it added to Planet Coaster) we’ve had a couple of smaller updates for the game. Most of these involve resolving crashes, but there are also colour fixes too for the true artists out there.

Here’s what both the 1.4.2 and the 1.4.1 patches add to the game.

Changelog:

• Resolved a crash that could occur when entering the Career menus.
• Resolved a crash that could occur when playing videos on billboards.
• Fixed an issue where selecting objects with the same colour palette could not be recoloured together.
• Added colour options to the Park Bin so it is no longer white.
• General stability fixes and improvements.
• Resolved a crash that could occur for saved parks that contained video billboards

Planet Coaster Update - Patch 1.4 (Anniversary Update)

---

The Anniversary Update is slightly bigger than the usual seasonal content additions, and brings several fixes, requested features, and thematic options for dedicated park builders.

Changelog:

• Five new rides – the Weisshorn (a classic fairground ride), the Monte Leone (a small Weisshorn), the Zenith (a hydraulic launched coaster), the Hop The Gaps (a rickety side friction ride), and the Cascade (our first water coaster).
• Scenario Editor – giving you the tools to create your own custom scenarios and share them with the community through Steam Workshop!

• Staff Management building – a place for your staff to rest and receive training.

• A host of picnic benches, themed canopies, and autumn trees – allowing you to create food courts and plazas!

• Interchangeable coasters – this lets you switch coaster trains to other types of track allowing for maximum flexibility.
• You will now be able to swap the background of custom biomes as you see fit. This will allow you to create whatever vista you want!
• We are now allowing for custom text on coasters; whatever you decide to name your coaster will now appear on the coaster car.
• Some updates to triggers will now allow you to toggle objects for a certain time and at certain intervals (e.g. to create strobe lights).
• We are also adding some kerbs and barriers to our pathing system to allow you to control the flow of guests.

Planet Coaster Update - Patch 1.3.9

---

This one actually takes out a feature introduced in the last patch. Swapping coaster trains is apparently a feature that wasn’t quite ready for primetime. Frontier promise to highlight it during Frontier Expo on October 7 - likely alongside the next major season update.

    • De-Gen and Bolt - Something often requested by the Planet Coaster community was to have the sit-down boomerang coaster car (Trident) to appear on the ‘looping coaster track’ (The American Arrow) and visa-versa. We not only did this by creating two new coasters but we also gave them an upgrade with a new lick of paint and some minor cosmetic tweaks and they look beautiful.
    • Goldmine Tower - Some poor fella bought this mine from a prospector, and took out some big loans to pay for it. Turns out it was a scam. The varmint had salted the mine! Now he’s trying to turn it into a tourist attraction with fireworks and Old West-style streets, but it’s not doing as well as he hoped and he needs your help.
      
    • Miss Elly's Diner - Miss Elly's Diner has some great facilities, including a big wooden coaster for a spot of excitement! But its remote location means it doesn’t see many visitors, and its potential isn’t being realised. Can you build on this location and draw in the crowds?
      
    • Starship Hanger - They filmed some pretty famous movies out here in the desert. It kind of looks like Mars, don’t it. The place isn’t much in demand any more – it’s all CGI these days – but the company doesn’t want to let it go. They want you to turn it into a theme park instead!

    Planet Coaster Update - Spring Update

    ---

    We've already detailed a lot of the major features of this patch back when Frontier Developments decided to spend 90 minutes demonstrating the goods before publishing 5-6 videos of each cool new gig.

    Still, the patch notes are in. They're long, so you'll want to head here for the full list or here for the trailer. If you're just looking for a brief synopsis, however, read on down;

    Planet Coaster Update - Patch 1.1.4

    ---

    There's the prompt! It's Planet Coaster update day. Coming as if from nowhere, Frontier Developments has gifted us the language of Japan with further localisations to follow the Chinese and Korean add-ons introduced with the last patch. Oh. There's a new flatride, too.

    The next major update may only be scheduled for April, but at least there's a new attraction to mess around with beforehand.

    Changelog:

    • Japanese Localisation
    • Tri-Storm flatride

    Planet Coaster Update - Patch 1.1.3

    ---

    How many points do we get for this one? Two. Two points. Though the bigger release is due in April, there's a few notable changes in the smaller January update. With a primary focus on bug fixes, it does bring a new flatride, too - the Scizzor. The full notes can be viewed here, but we've made a note of the most worthwhile changes down below:

    Changelog:

    • Language support added for Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Korean.
    • Allow items to be removed from sale in shops.
    • Added a new ride, the Scizzer.
    • Added new Guest Thoughts (On-Ride experience, Post-ride thoughts, if things are too far away etc.)
    • Shop attractiveness improvements.
    • Guests are now more willing to join longer ride queues.
    • Various guest brain upgrades to improve: balance of how attractive gift shops are, how they react when there isn't one and their luxary item needs
    • Fixed guests not going down steep stairs in queues.
    • Coaster trains no longer ignore minimum departure interval.
    • Neon signs no longer placed upside down.
    • Triggered effects and music are more audible when on ride and more directional to help reduce bleed through walls (may require pointing the speaker at the ride better).
    • Audio mix improvements and additional optimisations and stability fixes
    • Added park entrance to the Grassland Biome on Hard Difficulty Challenge mode.
    • Fixed Mechanic animation so no longer intersects with control booth when inspecting The Screaminator ride.

    Planet Coaster Update - Winter Update

    ---

    Well, this ended up being much bigger than expected. We were never really told what to expect with the Planet Coaster 'Winter Update'. The name popped up a few times over the last few weeks, with the focus being on whichever flatride would be included after being crowned the victor of the popular vote. There's considerably more notes than we could ever mention down below over here, but here's the more interesting additions to the biggest Planet Coaster update since launch;

    Changelog:

    • Ride prestige rating visible for rides and coasters on their information panel

      Prestige reflects the overall appeal and value of a ride to guests

    • Reputation status visible for rides and coasters.

      As rides get older, their reputation can diminish and affect their prestige rating

    New Rides

    • Bumpin Derby - Traditional bumper car ride
    • Collider – Retro, SciFi ride that has 20 swinging gondolas on what is essentially a horizontal Ferris wheel that rises to an angle of 87 degrees.
    • Sleigh Ride - Winter themed track ride
    • Iron Horse - New Steam Locomotive

    • Add 3 new scenarios to the game under "Festive King Coaster's Crackers"
    • Arctic now available in Sandbox and Challenge mode

    Scenery & Stores

    • New Festive theme - 140 new scenary pieces

    7 x new shops and signs

    • Gulpee Soda
    • Pipshot Juice, Pipshot Smoothie and Pipshot Water
    • Pizza Pen
    • Cosmic Cow Icecream
    • Missy Good Dougnuts

    • Added 11 new coaster blueprints
    • Duck moments no longer add to nausea
    • Improvements to the Hyper coaster when longer than 30m
    • Reduced clipping when guests walk into toilets
    • Fix seams found where necks connect to body (ew)
    • Added Festive King Coaster as an available entertainer
    • Mix pass on the entire game to achieve that rides / coasters up close are louder but are more quiet further away. This is intended to help with creating audio theme-ing a little away from louder areas.
    • Guests on coasters will fatigue over time and scream a little less. More dynamic rides will keep them louder, rides that are constantly at a high speed will tire their vocal chords.
    • Triggered soundeffects and park speakers need to be pointed for maximum effect as they are loudest from the front.
    • When quitting the game, audio now gracefully fades out instead of being cut.
    • A little festive surprise in the main menu theme (no worries, we'll change that back before summer ; )
    • Fix memory leak in heatmap data cache.
    • Optimisation to coaster music system to use less memory
    • Performance improvement when you're moving a new path piece around lots of existing queue paths

    Planet Coaster Update - 1.0.3

    ---

    The relentless bunch that they are over at Frontier Developments quickly snuck out another update early this morning. With the news dropping minutes before the update was deployed, it's said to simply contain a few bug fixes. Whether this relates to people's worries that park customers were being a little tight-pursed these days, we don't know. It was apparently small enough to not warrant any official patch notes and clocks in at a measly 80mb.

    What it did contain, however, is the date of the commonly mentioned 'Winter Update'. December 15 is the date to mark, at it'll bring the community-voted flat ride and a bunch of other festive-themed add-ons to shower your park with holiday spirit. Read the blog post here.

    Planet Coaster Update - 1.0.2

    ---

    The second post launch update is now live and brings with it a number of fixes and stability improvements. There will also be a free winter update coming on December 15th that wil contain new content, so keep your eyes peeled for that.

    Planet Coaster Update - 1.0.1

    ---

    It's the first update since launch, and you wouldn't expect all too much when it comes with such through as such a tiny built number increment; but you'd be wrong! The 1.0.1 update brings a lot of bug fixes, QoL changes and even a 'harder' Challenge Mode for those who thought it was a little too easy before. Apparently park customers have found somewhere to leave their balloons as they go on rides, too, as they'll whip them back out as they disembark. Here's the lot;

    Changelog:

    </ul></ul>

    Planet Coaster Update - 1.0 (Launch)

    ---

    We are live! For anyone running the Thrillseeker Edition who was playing the beta beforehand, you have a paltry 400MB patch to look forward to; for anyone just getting started, the final game managed to stay at around the same size as the beta build somehow. So that's 5.3GB expecting to be pumped through your internet tubes. Not a whole lot has changed for the final release; there's more stability improvements and a couple tweaks to the texture system, but other than that it's practically the same. Lets take a look;

    Changelog:

    • Final Steam achievements. There's 31 of those shinies, build and conquer!

      Steam trading cards.

    • All 12 scenarios.
    • Tutorial videos. Whether you are new to the genre or just need a refresher, we have you covered with our tutorials!

    Stability improvements.</li>

    • Further tweaks to texture streaming system.

    ---

    Pre-order bonuses are now available for those with the Trillseeker edition of the game. You can find the soundtrack files in the Steam Music Player.

    ---

    Planet Coaster: Thrillseeker Edition Pre-order Bonuses

    • The Planet Coaster Official Soundtrack. Enjoy an hours' worth of pleasure to your ears!
    • The Planet Coaster Digital Sketchbook. Let your imagination run wild with the sketchbook!
    • What's better than the normal Coaster King mascot? The Golden Coaster King mascot!
    • Why not show off your wares, your guests have the Golden Avatar baseball hat unlocked!

    Planet Coaster Update - Beta 6

    ---

    And again. Less than 24 hours before the final release, at around 5pm GMT, an announcement post by BrettC_Frontier pops up on Steam letting them know that a 2.3GB update is here for their testing pleasure. There's far less when it comes to varied improvements here, but they're consolidated into a few short categories. Lets hope you don't have a download cap, because Frontier seem to like pushing more through those pipes.

    Changelog:

    • Stability improvements
    • Audio mix pass
    • Tuned texture streaming system

    Planet Coaster Update - Beta 5

    ---

    How you can manage to put out another update so close to launch is nothing short of sheer commitment, but that's exactly what Frontier have managed. Maybe it's a way to stagger the release of the complete 1.0 version to have people download the build in chunks over the pre-launch days, or maybe they're really just that quick on improvements. Either way, Beta 5 is here, and it's thankfully short.

    Planet Coaster Update - Beta 4

    ---

    With the full release just 2 days away, you wouldn't come into Beta 4 expecting to see many changes; but you'd be wrong. Outlining boons like being able to create a park 2.5 times the regular size is a pretty - sizable - change. There's a new help system and plenty of new rides, too. Here's the full list;

    Changelog:

    • New rides: Rolling River, Invincible, Chair-O-Plane: These three new attractions are the perfect addition to your parks; you can add the stunning new Rolling River water ride, create a new epic coaster with the Invincible, or add a more gentle touch with the Chair-O-Plane! How exciting!
    • BALLOONS!! The latest addition to the Planet Coaster shops is an all-time favourite, balloon shop Loony Blooons! We can’t wait to see your guests walking around with their colourful souvenirs. And even better, each balloon is on a string!
    • More Shop news: Themed hats, mayonnaise for Monsieur Frites. We have also added a variety of hats to be purchased in the Hat Shops, themed to Western, Sci-fi, and Fantasy; so your guests will have loads more options for funky headwear! Lastly, your guests can now choose to top their fries with... mayonnaise (YES, HOLLAND REPRESENT!), to give them the best of flavours at Monsieur Frites shops.
    • Two new entertainers! You’ve already had some sneak previews of the two last additions to the park staff, but we’re so happy they are finally ready to join the family: give a warm welcome to Miss Elly, our Western hot shot patrolling the grounds, and Tiki Chicken, the fiery, community-created flavour maker.
    • Help System: to... help!
    • Scenario balancing to Pirate Battles and Monolith. Thanks to your valuable feedback over the past few days of beta, we have made some balancing changes to the two Beta Scenarios even further; try your hand at them again and see if you can still pass them both with three stars!
    • UI flow improvements: The panel in the info panel and park management will now remember the last tab you were on; so you will not have to search for your active tabs again.
    • More lights hooked up to Coaster Trigger system. Get the most of triggered events with even more lighting options to spruce up your coaster ride!
    • VIP Staff Pass now supports facial hair: Get all the beards going this Movember!
    • Polish, QOL and Balancing - more of this
    • More optimisations: the team has been working hard over the last few weeks to get framerate up even further for a smooth experience, and today's update has the latest fruits of their labours.
    • Stability and compatibility improvements
    • Boids: Flocking Pigeons!
    • And last but not least, by popular demand, your PARK AREA IS NOW OVER 2.5 TIMES BIGGER THAN BEFORE! As a result of the team's hard work on optimisations, they have increased your park sizes. You’ll have even more space to put down rides, build crazy coasters, and craft intricate landscapes your guests will absolutely love!
