✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 1,231 endorsements and 69k downloads
- Removes a major building frustration for path and track placement
- Terrain tool expansion adds extra creative control
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects paths, tracks, and barriers—not all building pieces yet
- Author notes 'more in the future' but no timeline for full coverage
- Last updated in 2023—may need checking for compatibility with newer game patches
For Planet Coaster builders who hate fighting the 'Obstructed' message when placing paths or tracks. If you're into detailed landscaping, the terrain tool expansion is a bonus. Skip if you only build rides and buildings—this won't help you there.
