As a seasoned rollercoaster enthusiast and park owner with years of experience under my belt, I must say that creating a swimming pool in Planet Coaster 2 is quite the refreshing challenge! While the thrill of designing and building the most exhilarating rollercoasters is unparalleled, there’s something undeniably soothing about crafting an aquatic paradise for guests to unwind and cool off.
Among the exciting new elements introduced since the initial release of Planet Coaster, one of the most eagerly awaited additions is the inclusion of waterpark mechanics in the upcoming game, Planet Coaster 2. Now, players can design and build a comprehensive waterpark within Planet Coaster 2. Before diving into intricate features like Flumes or advanced Pool options, it’s crucial to grasp the fundamentals of creating a pool in Planet Coaster 2.
In Planet Coaster 2, constructing a pool isn’t just a breeze; you need to understand its prerequisites first to ensure smooth operation. This tutorial provides essentials on the Pool Tools interface and offers five crucial tips for designing your inaugural pool in Planet Coaster 2.
Intro To Planet Coaster 2 Pool Tools
To excel at creating pools in Planet Coaster 2, it’s essential to get acquainted with several tools within the game. You can access these tools by choosing the “Create Custom” menu, which empowers you to design your unique pool rather than using a ready-made one.
- Pool Shaping Tools
- Line Builder: Creates a Pool in the desired area building forward, just like the Path Line Builder tool. Great for Lazy Rivers and circular pools.
- Draw Tool: Draw an area that will be filled in with your desired pool settings. Works like the Path builder, but instead of creating the pool along the path, it will fill in the selected area.
- Stamp Tool: Select from one of four shapes to quickly create a pool. You can change the size of your shape along other normal Pool Tool settings.
- Rounding Tool: Rounds out the edges of a selected area of your pool. Great for fixing sharp corners and giving your pool a softer appearance.
- Customize Brush: Paints the selected area with your chosen customizations. Select your customizations in the Texture Tool tab before using the Customize Brush on existing pool area.
- Edit Tool: Select and edit individual borders of your pool and paths around to adjust their position. Extremely useful when other tools (like Rounding) don’t quite fix a problem with your layout.
- Texture Tool
- Interior Pool Customization: Select a Tile appearance for the inside of your pool. Can be applied with the Customize Brush or when creating a new pool area.
- Pool Edge Customization: Select the appearance of the edge of your pool. Can be applied with the Customize brush or when creating a new pool area.
- Pool Extras Tools
- Lazy Rivers: A series of settings dedicated to customizing motion and movement in your pools, such as Lazy Rivers, Water Jets settings, and more.
- Additional Settings: Allow you to customize whether a floating pool has Supports beneath it or not.
- Demolish Tools
- Delete Brush: Outright deletes any features highlighted in your cursor radius. Size and height can be adjusted in this menu.
- Delete Stamp: Used for quickly replacing a set area of water with land. For example, a minimum-size Pentagon can be stamped into a large Pentagon-shaped pool to create an island in its center.
In Planet Coaster 2, the Pools and Paths systems share many common characteristics. You can modify pre-existing pools much like adjusting an existing path – unlike a rollercoaster, which enters a unique editing mode. The tools provided allow you to personalize your own pools and water features. All additional elements for creating a pool are found within the Scenery and Facilities tabs.
If you opt for a ready-made swimming pool, you can still personalize it, much like designing your own pool in Planet Coaster 2. Simply utilize the Pool Tools options as you would with a custom design.
How To Make A Basic Pool
Construct Your Pool
To start a thriving swimming pool in Planet Coaster 2, the initial move is obviously building the pool itself. From the ‘Create Custom’ menu, pick one of the three instruments – Line Tool, Draw Tool, or Stamp Tool – that can construct pools within the game. Adjust and mold the region until you’re satisfied with its dimensions and position.
Remember to customize your Pool Tool settings to make the water at least of Swimming depth.
Later on, you can add on to your pool with other Depths, but for now Swimming will be deep enough.
After positioning your pool, utilize the Rounding and Adjustment tools for a precise shaping of its edges. Don’t forget to include one or two Ladders for easy access by guests. Lastly, use the standard Path tool to link it seamlessly with the rest of your amusement park.
If the outer edge of your swimming pool and the designed path for your personal theme park happen to cross during construction, there’s no need to concern yourself with linking them separately – your visitors will naturally be able to access the pool through this intersection.
Filtration & Water Quality
After setting up your pool, head over to the ‘Facilities’ section and seek out the Water Pump and Water Filter items. You can find these under the ‘Utilities’ tab. Position the Water Pump close to your pools, and place the Water Filter in a spot that can service multiple pools (if you have more than one). Connect them both using a Water Pipe, which can also be found within the ‘Utilities’ tab of the ‘Facilities’ menu. Lastly, construct a pathway that leads to these machines so that our Mechanics can easily access and repair them if needed.
Currently, your swimming pool isn’t merely a static body of water; it’s clean, sanitized water. However, for ensuring guest safety within the park, you’ll require two individuals: one to maintain the hygiene and cleanliness, and another to supervise safety.
Hire Lifeguards
Once you’ve installed your initial custom pool on Planet Coaster 2 equipped with these water quality enhancements, it would be prudent to employ sufficient Lifeguards to oversee the swimming zone. Having Lifeguards present will help reassure guests about the pool safety, and they can promptly respond in case of any swimmer emergencies.
Over time, the safety level around your pool may decrease if there’s no lifeguard present, or if the pool area isn’t adequately supervised.
Check your Scenery tab for the Pool Extras section and locate the Lifeguard Chairs among its items. By adding a Lifeguard Chair, a lifeguard will be automatically assigned to that spot. However, you can also hire lifeguards directly from the Staff menu if you prefer.
When positioning a Lifeguard Chair, you’ll get a sneak peek of the lifeguard’s patrol zone. Since there are both short and tall versions of the Lifeguard Chair, choose the one that can oversee the largest portion of your pool (excluding any paths around it).
Create Guest Facilities
As a pool enthusiast, once I’ve designed my perfect swimming spot and ensured a team of lifeguards are on duty for guest safety, there are three essential elements I don’t want to overlook: Guest Facilities, Changing Rooms, and Body Dryers. You can find these amenities in the Facilities menu – they’re crucial for creating a fully functional pool experience that caters to my guests’ needs.
Position your Guest Amenities along the route leading towards your swimming pool zone, making it convenient for guests to acquire a Pool Pass effortlessly. Subsequently, arrange the Shower Rooms and Towel Dryer facilities side by side, adjacent to the perimeter of your pool area. Depending on the traffic flow, you might need multiple Shower Rooms; ensure to monitor the queues to decide if you should construct another.
Remember to set all of these facilities to “Open” to automatically hire Staff and let guests in.
Build Pool Extras For More Prestige
After establishing your swimming pool according to standards, setting up water filtration and supply systems, recruiting lifeguards, and providing all necessary amenities for guests, there’s not much left to do but add some charm and style to your area. In Planet Coaster 2, Flumes have been introduced as a new feature that can be constructed similarly to Rollercoasters, culminating in the guest being propelled into a pool for an exciting experience.
As a gamer, I’d say: Dressing up your pool with extras like lounges and diving boards can really level up its cool factor, offering guests unique ways to unwind or enjoy the pool in fresh new ways – but remember, always place that daring diving board over water deep enough for dives!
In much the same way that you customize various aspects in Planet Coaster 2, you can embellish your pools with decorative Scenery items to make them more inviting for guests. Following the completion of the essential features of your pool, take some time to browse the Scenery menu and transform your plain pool into a tropical oasis.
