Stupid Peeps (?)

[Lalle555]

why do my peeps do like this?

they just go round and round until the get tired and unhappy... what should I do?

[steel]

Yeah, that's a stupid glitch. I don't know of any way around it.

[Steffen_Dk]

I just think that that information building is really popular

[thrillgeek]

Same thing happens with mine. Then they get all mad and want to leave. It makes me so mad. Now I just use sandboxes and make recreations. I made a really good one of Maverick at CP and Medusa at SFDK.

That happens to me to with some of my parks. I hate that glitch and hopefully someone can make a patch for it.

[christianscoasters]

I have this problem. The peeps are trying to get somewhere across from where they are at, but they do not know that they have to go around. Say you make a path in the shape of a "U". The park entrance is on the left side of the "U", and the peeps on the right. If they want to leave the park, they will stay on the right side and get unhappy, not realizing that they have to go around. Does this make sense?

 

So my suggestion is under-ground paths or new walkways.

Also, I believe double wide paths can make this worse. Every time a peep comes to an intersection, an algorithm decides which path they take (I think). Basically, the double paths make every tile an intersection, so you'll end up with oddly behaving peeps.

 

I forget where I read this, so it might not be 100% true.

I think there was a topic about that here. Anyway I had the same tourble. The peeps atr getting stucked. All you can do is change the path way and hope they wont get stuck in another place.

The only solution I found is to buily a really simple path. What you can do is to make a bypass from this problematic point so peeps will be able to get out of it by another path and get to another place.

[steel]

Actually, if you are really patient, what you can do is build one single-tile path for the peeps, then build walls on both sides and widen it as much as you want. It takes forever, but it looks okay and the peeps definitely won't get stuck.

What I do is assign entertainers all over the park where problems can occur (double spaced paths, roundabouts, long ques, etc.). They do the job rather well, and 8 Cars makes them do it even faster.

Just get RCT3

[steel]

RCT3 lags like hell and it's so annoying to work with.

If you're REALLY patient and you know exactly what you're doing, it looks nice, but otherwise, it's completely not worth the effort, IMO.

[coastercrazed49]

^Yeah RCT3 is a great game, but the lag if you don't have the right computer can be brutal. Thats why I have always preferred RCT2 over 3, anyways a lot of things come out blocky in RCT3.

[the ghost]

Thats why I have never made an RCT 3 park. My computer sux. Anyway this same thing happened to my original El Dorado park. Guests could get in but could not figure out how to get out. I had to create a whole nother park so thats about two hours just on scenery wasted.

I used to have this problem all the time in RCT2, it would crash my park rating and more and more people would get lost.

 

Usually what I would do is build another path that goes underground all the way to the exit if they all want to go home or to another area of the park so they will quit their bitching about being lost. It worked like a charm and my park rating would skyrocket afterwards.

 

All of my RCT2 parks have an extensive underground network of paths to combat this. The park above looks fine and you don't have to readjust rides or buildings, it's all hidden.
