    The brakes on this make no sense at all.

    Yeah, if you’re going for realism then brakes come before a drop, at a point where it would be safe for the train to stay there or obviously before a station. I you’re going for aesthetics then brakes everywhere are really ugly.

    Interesting use of the hedges in the architecture, and those Wild mouses look interesting too

    Those are boosters, actually, mainly because the train was taking the layout a little too slowly for my liking. I can get rid of them if they're that ugly, I didn't think it really mattered

    i'd just recommend redrafting the coaster if the train is going too slowly. part of the process of building is building and rebuilding to refine your work

    Well, the layout still works fine without the boosters. I just kinda threw them in there because I had a few straight pieces and figured why not. I'll get rid of them

    Looking good, though, I second Sammy. If it needs boosters to make the rest of the layout, that's a problem. It also would be considered unrealistic. I would remake the layout to your liking, but in such a way that there are no needed 'helps' to push it all the way to the finish.
  • Description

    Dearest greetings, good friend.

    Been slowly working on this park for a while now and just about everything but the foliage is done. Which, coincidentally, is why I posted this screenshot.

    I'm having a hard time creating a foliage mix I like for this section. It definitely needs some (it's awful bare right now) but I've struggled to come up with a mix that looks appropriately desert-y but still substantial. It's either too dense and lush for a desert or too sparse and stupid looking. Any tips?

    Thanks.
