Parkitect

Hey look, it’s another update in time for the weekend/holidays!
The full changelog is at the end of this post. The highlights are:

Track segments automatically snap to each other if the height difference is reasonably small:

This makes reconnecting track ends easier after editing a ride, and should resolve the troubles new players had with getting track heights to match when being misaligned by 1/8 height unit.

Existing guest/ride/shop info windows automatically get closed when clicking a different guest/ride/shop (unless you pin them):

This should reduce windows cluttering up the view.

Added the park ratings to a tab in the Park Info window:

The park ratings are quite important but could previously only be found by hovering on the ratings bar in the main menu, which is slightly hidden. This will give people a second way to discover them, and there are also some additional tooltips explaining the ratings a bit.

The research menu button received an animation to reflect the current research state:

The fill state of the vial tells you the research progress without having to open the research window, and it looks nice I guess.

And there’s a little something for the winter season :)

See you all next year!
